Living in Chicago, I can say that at least the people I've talked to, and the feeling on r/chicago, is that people are really excited about it. Chicago isn't afraid to build big. There are already a few massive sites in former industrial wastelands close to downtown that have submitted bids. And there are currently tons of high capacity housing projects recently completed and soon to be competed, so no one is afraid the city is going to turn into SF. The only place you can't build big is in the park space by the lake.
