WAT. It's easily in the top 8 GDPs of the world, how's that boutique?... This might be the dumbest thing I've heard on this forum.
In other news RE the NYC supertall boom. Yes their land values are so much more expensive, a whole other league. Also Manhattan is land constrained, while in Chicago we can almost infinitely build out. The River West project, Lincoln Yards, Riverline, the 78, etc. are all open for business. In NYC they had to figure out how to build over rails to create Hudson Yards--there's almost no corner left untouched. We still have parking lots in the Loop & RN (although many are being filled).
