I can see how you arrived at the conclusion. However, I was merely responding to the implication that everything going up right now in NYC is a "high standard." My post was not meant to be talking about the Lathrop Homes at all. I know that some people here have a hard on for NYC and while there's a lot of good stuff going up here in select areas, there's a lot of normal stuff too that isn't even close to a high standard. That's what my response was really about.
Regarding *that* - the stuff that's posted on these forums are usually in the premiere areas. They have more money behind them so of course they have a better chance of having an interesting or good design. But all the other stuff that goes up - nobody really shows that. I mean, are people here showing every 3-8 unit building that's going up in Logan Square, Lincoln Park, Ukrainian Village, Lakeview, etc? Not at all. Perhaps there's a point to be made about the stuff in the premiere areas of Chicago needing to be a better standard on average - totally agree with that. But comparing to NYC - it's a big city. Looking at something like Lathrop Homes is no different than me comparing to something going up in Astoria (Queens). Nobody in their right mind would ever compare it to something going up in Soho just like how nobody would compare something going up in Soho to something going up in Astoria.
Here's an example of a building that was completed this year not far from where I live:
