Definitely possible near the core and along the lakefront. I don't think that's worst thing though? Ideally land values would improve enough to justify the preservation of the existing structures on decaying parts of the south and west sides. The west branch of the green line isn't nearly as bad, but all the vacant tracts and rotting structures along the south branches of the green line are a sad sight. I do hope to see the south side lakefront neighborhoods fill in sooner than later. A booze cruise that from Hollywood to Rainbow Beaches with stops at North Avenue Beach, Navy Pier, Northerly Island, and Jackson Park would be cool.
