Trads really do not care about underlying principles, they just want pastiche.
The White House ballroom expansion is so large that it's made a kink in the symmetrical path around the South Lawn. Nobody on the Commission of Fine Arts raised an eyebrow at this slide www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Finally saw this today with my own eyes: 3140 W. 99th Street, Evergreen Park. ca. 1967. It's called the Kiwi Condominiums. Building nerds extraordinaire @ladytophamcatt.bsky.social and @tudoraf.bsky.social conjecture that the architect was Carl Federici.

Sadly the most anyone will get here until people start having the balls (gender neutral) to do the right thing again, is a slap on the wrist.
The rise of the far right is not a problem unique to the US. Our elite impunity problem, however, seems to be on an order of magnitude worse than a lot of our peers.

Here is what I don’t like - reserving lots under 5000 sf for single family. There needs to be a Chicago carveout that makes 2 to 4 units by right on all lots greater than 2500 sf
There’s a lot to love in Pritzker’s “Building Up Illinois Developments” (BUILD) plan!
ADUs allowed statewide 🏘️
