Chicago also has alleys all over, so there's not garbage piled up on the sidewalks and garbage trucks are less of a nuissance for traffic.

This is a serious flaw with New York City.
Fortunately, Chicago burned to the ground, which gave them an opportunity to replan.
They adopted the Daniel Burnam plan, which reclaimed the lakefront from industrial shipping and attempted to put a park within one mile of every home.
The city is much better off for it, which just goes to show you that even destruction presents the opportunity of rebirth.
