it's not state street, was never intended to be, but it's more than a suburb. wait till it's built out with the park, the parkhomes, the market, etc. this will be a fine place to live if you want the heart of the city but with a bit more of an intimate neighborhood feel. the park in the middle of it all is already a fantastic space, and it's only going to be getting more awe-inspiring as the new towers continue to enclose it. also, some of the projects such as aqua need to be completed so that folks can better understand how the street level elevation changes are going to be handled for pedestrians.
it's not perfect, but it was such a weird piece of land to begin with, especially with all those wacky multi-level roads surrounding the place, that i think they're doing a pretty good job with it. fast forward 20 years into the future, after full build out and some tree maturation, and i think some of the current naysayers will see LSE a bit differently.
