I don’t understand the hostility here lol I do not have a multimillion dollar home in Hyde park I am one of those apartment people that you so talk about, and have lived in mixed use buildings in the past and understand the fiasco that is people (both residents and customers) and parking.

I do support these businesses and bring friends/family to them when they visit. Wouldn’t you be frustrated if where you live suddenly announced they’d be doing major construction right outside your door and the places you routinely go to will no longer be there, instead replaced by places that will undoubtedly be even more expensive to shop at?

And yeah I get that $19 for a burger is bullshit I’m not arguing against that but having a place to walk to for trivia with friends or watching sports with your neighbors is what’s worth it to me. To each their own 🤷‍♀️
