Glenn moyer wrote: I missed this one. This an interesting editorial It makes sense that some young writer, inexperienced journalist, would be susceptible to the snakes behind the Penn propaganda machine. I doubt Ms Hart understood how she and the DP were being used. http://media.www.dailypennsylvanian.com/media/storage/paper882/news/2008/03/03/Opinion/Editorial.Responsible.Development-3246870.shtml this editorial, which the dp's 'opinion board' published in the dp on 3 mar 2008, began like this: It's time for Campus Inn to check in to its new home at 40th and Pine streets. just days before, on feb 27, our neighbor mary nixon wrote a letter to the uc review (http://tinyurl.com/3tezvp) which went like this: It is time for Tom Lussenhop and company to find another site for their aggressively greedy hotel After an incredible amount of criticism, nothing ever changes. He still insists on the same number of rooms, the attached restaurant, the maximum of four onsite parking spaces. How many times can you say IT'S TOO BIG before he hears you? ... It is time for the Spruce Hill zoning Committee to realize that the only ones benefiting from this project are the University of Pennsylvania and the developer. ... It is time for the University of Pennsylvania to relinquish control of 400 S. 40th Street and to put the property up for sale. clearly, the dp's 'opinion board' was reading, and responding to, mary nixon's opinion in the uc review. and this 'opinion board' shifted the issue to one of parking, reducing the height/scale issue to one of mere aesthetics: That doesn't mean neighborhood concerns, especially about potential traffic congestion, are unfounded. Penn officials need to ensure that developers provide extra parking and try to respect the aesthetic landscape of the low-rise community. what the dp's 'opinion board' -- and, later, pcpc -- are ignoring here is that the hotel's massive height/scale is not just an aesthetic problem, it's not a visual that can be blurred away or gotten 'used to'. it's the root problem, defining the size and scale of all the other issues, like traffic and parking and density and future development. ..

Re: [UC] Scale and its adjudicators
Oh, I didn't know that about SHCA boundaries, Ray. Thanks. But SHCA does tend to represent off-campus homeowners much more than highrise student residents (has anyone ever met a highrise-resident SHCA member?). Since the latter neighbors live in blocky 16-story buildings, their view of scale and massive might be quite different from that of a resident on 42nd St. Still, SHCA looks like a good venue in which to raise questions of scale for those neighbors that are opposed to the Campus Inn project. My post didn't ignore anything; it modestly addressed the question of whose job it is to weigh in on an issue of scale, if you'll pardon the pun. PCPC, as you just noted below, does not see preservation of scale as its topmost concern in city planning. SHCA and ZBA look more appropriate for that issue, each in a different way that could be tactically important. The Mayor's Office at City Hall is really separate from PCPC, which is on Arch St. The Mayor's Office is not part of the normal loop for approval of any development. And there's nobody specifically in charge of scale in the Mayor's Office. You can still go down there if you want to, and so can Penn. -- Tony West Anthony West wrote: SHCA's warrant doesn't reach east of 40th St. false. it goes east to 38th street. http://www.sprucehillca.org/map.html the rest of your post, like phc and pcpc and shca, simply ignores the height and scale issue of the proposed hotel. the hotel's massive height and scale have been at the heart of the opposition to the hotel since the very beginning, and this opposition to the height and scale has been publicly voiced, again and again since 2007, in neighbors writing to uc review, the dp, and the city paper; it has been publicly demonstrated, repeatedly since 2007, in neighbors testifying at phc, pcpc, and shca's public meeting. indeed, the height and scale issue was so important that in dec 2007 the developer himself published distorted drawings of the hotel in an attempt to minimize the appearance of its actual height and bulk. and as recently as last week (sept 16) nilda ruiz and other members of pcpc acknowledged that the height and scale was 'overbearing', a 'shock' and a 'problem', but that neighbors would 'get used to it'. well, the neighbors have not gotten used to it, and the agencies involved have not gotten used to it. while the developer, with the help of penn, squeezes their hotel through the mayor's offices at city hall, the hotel's massive height and scale remains the elephant in the room. ignoring it each step of the way does not mean approval or support, in fact, the very attention and effort given to dismissing it is what's been so necessary to push it this far. ..

[UC] Needed: feral kitten fosterers, recovery space for just-fixed ferals
Hello all, I just received the following from one of the Project MEOW volunteers. Is there anyone out there who would be able to either (or both) foster four feral kittens or provide space for the recovery of a just-spayed feral mom?? fyi, Recovery is the process of holding a trapped and just neutered/spayed feral cat for a few days (indoors, in a spare room, garage or basement) until it is well enough to be released back into its territory. It involves feeding and regularly changing the paper in the trap. The cat stays in the trap (or a cage, if one is available) during the recovery. fyi, the adult ferals have already been treated for fleas and have their vaccines for distemper and rabies. A MEOW volunteer can take you through the steps. The kittens will have been treated for fleas, but are not yet old enough for vaccines. As you may know, Project MEOW's primary mission is to reduce the number of feral cats on our streets in West Philly via TNR (trap, neuter, release). Kittens that are found/trapped in the process of TNR, if young enough, are fostered and socialized for adoption. MEOW is a non-profit organization, run by very dedicated volunteers, and are always in need of new volunteers (as well as donations, of course!). If you have questions or can help out please drop me a line and I'll get you in touch with Katy. Many thanks! linda Begin forwarded message: Date: September 27, 2008 1:09:23 PM EDT To: Linda Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: kittens? Hi Linda, I just got a message from a girl who found four kittens, around 6 weeks old, with a feral mom. We are all tapped out on foster homes -- completely -- as well as recovery space, for that matter. Also, do you know anyone who might be interested in helping with our biggest problem right now, recovery space? Our two biggest recoverers are out of commission right now, and it's starting to limit Project MEOW's trapping capabilities. Thanks so much! Katy
