The building is in the middle of Chicago and has parked cars for several floors. That alone makes me nervous. What's to keep the cars from falling out? A wire? It all seems a bit too risky for my backing tastes. No one cares what's above, offices or apartments, because the backed up cars that could almost fall into the river catch the eye.
The whole thing feels to exposed, but what about the bottom? A person could be on the way to a meeting, see a boat, and say "Hey, I like it." Poof! A boat owner is born. Just closed a huge deal, why not buy a boat to celebrate? Coming from divorce court, a boat is just the thing to pick a newly divorcee up.
This is too risky for the city. The potential exists to have unprepared boat-owners who are not committed to the lifestyle of fees and repairs. It's like having a bar in a house full of teenagers and then taking a trip. What do you think will happen?
Luckily, while liquor in the house in free but a boat always costs money. The price is the deterrent to keep the city from being full of unprepared boat owners with regrets and sad boats. The river is not polluted with abandoned boats from a bonus, long liquored lunch, and then impulse with opportunity.
Really, what's in the rest of the building?
