In all fairness to PennPraxis, some party has to actually hire it, or otherwise contract with it to run a forum for it. It doesn't run around looking for controversies and organizing forums on its own whim.

The contractor doesn't have to be Penn. In fact, it usually isn't, I believe. I did watch PennPraxis become involved in a neighborhood issue once, at the request of a neighborhood group that had issues with a Penn-related project.

So it may be PennPraxis wasn't involved in either of the neighbors' dealings you cite, because those neighbors did not ask it to become involved.

consider penn praxis at the delaware river a high-profile dress rehearsal for penn's development of its holdings along the schuylkill river.

and consider that penn praxis was conspicuously absent from the media when it came to helping neighbors deal with penn's proposed hotel at 40th and pine, and when neighbors grappled with the penn-advised plans for the south street bridge.
