At any rate, let's be happy with the amazing changes in this city's skyline over the last number of years. It's truly quite remarkable!

I'm only comparing to NYC because actually if you look at the building booms in 80's , 90's and early 2000's that Chicago had there was a much closer relative comparison to NYC... normally NYC was doing double or close to that of what chicago did... if Chicago had 10 building over 500ft at any single time under construction NYC had 20 or 25... now that ratio is like 3 or 4 times which is why i made the statement of either Chicago under-performing (or NYC just ridiculously on fire
)
