^ It seems like Lincoln Yards is the lightning rod for all the gentrification and leftist anxieties while The 78 is flying by (relatively) under the radar. Probably because the South Loop is still part of the downtown area in most people's minds, while the North Branch corridor is not.
If Lincoln Yards was not on the table, I have to imagine "progressives" would be screaming about The 78 and clamoring to squeeze more affordable housing out of it.
But yes, the PD is already approved at The 78 so City Council has fewer opportunities to put a halt to it.
