What did Mayor Street once say about who was in charge? Certainly not honest professionals with integrity and dedication to the public good, during the Nutter Administration! "It's hard to fathom the legal logic that informed the Dec. 14 decision granting the developer, University Realty, a stunning package of seven variances." "Drexel submitted a letter urging the board to reject the project." "One of Mayor Nutter's pledges after his first election was to professionalize the ZBA to ensure that its rulings are rooted in law. Many applicants assume they have a right to variances from the zoning code. They do not. The law demands that they show hardship to alter the legal zoning. Yet there appears to be no evidence that University Realty proved it had any such burden in Powelton."

Just asking. And, why do some people think that because dishonest unscrupulous White people have pillaged our society, now it is okay for everyone else with emerging power to screw We The People? Screw the Man! Ciao, Craig
