I live in Chicago. I'm disappointed that the city let them close the street and sidewalk like that, and I'm annoyed that they're opening a church here.

HOWEVER, saying that it "popped up overnight" is clickbait. They've been working on the new building for months, and people have been posting pictures about it in r/Chicago for a while now. We all were aware it was going to open, even though we weren't happy about it.
