I find Irving/Clarendon to be about the most congested rush hour spot in the area and putting 87 units on top of it will just make it worse, nothing to do with narcissism.
BTW, what does irisphirate stand for? An egocentric, obnoxious, inconsiderate, greedy, drunk who thinks all that glitters is gold?
You are probably just over exhuberant because the developer is finding a way around the 10% set aside for affordable housing.
There shouldn't be any set asside for Affordable Housing anyway. If I had to pay market and have a first and second mortgage why should someone else get affordable housing? It's a bull crap program.
I know that a lot of the residents in this area tend to either not have a car or to have fewer cars per household than average, so maybe that will mitigate the congestion concern?
r. I agree with you, Daley's 10% is a bullcrap plan and hurts Uptown about as much as any other community, it seems to me.
Concerned, Irving seems to be a feed onto the Drive, and those who must drive flock to it, so it's still a mess even with the relatively few drivers around, and a mess for those living around it that have to breathe it, no less.

I like it.
ReplyDeleteI know the folks who hate "glass" buildings will complain.
It is an appropriate location for that kinda density. Right across from the el stop.
It's nice looking hopefully the developers finish their projects and meet all zoning and inspections before occupency.
ReplyDeleteGreat for traffic, can't wait for construction to begin.
ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeletedoes ids stand for "I dumb stupid"?
I forgot narcissism is the watchword for much of America.
I'm sorry you will be inconvenienced.
Actually I'm not.
Let's never change or build anything anywhere. After all it might cost you a moment or two stuck in traffic.
After all......it's all about YOU.
Move to Lincoln Park!
From the article this is exactly the kind of development Uptown needs.
ReplyDeleteLooks like an awesome building. Hope the market is still there for these condos.
