Welp another value engineered mess. Keep it up Chicago
Value engineering provides the bulk of any city’s real estate market. Not everything needs to be an architectural marvel. Sometimes, we just need better than what was there before.
It is not this bad in any other city I’ve lived in: London, Shanghai, NYC, Beijing, Singapore. Here it’s more the norm and it’s not good for us to let it slide
Well, do yourself a favor, relieve yourself of your misery, and move back to one of those cities.
