I'm amazed nobody has picked up on today's Inky article reporting
that, according to UCD's "report card", we so suave, debonair, and
urbane. And all thanks to you know who.
Cmon, dudes, isn't this HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS?? A puff piece in the
MAINSTREAM MEDIA just at the particular moment UCD is in so much hot
water????
Tear it apart, dudes. Deconstruct!! Expatiate!!
Okay, so Al's had a stroke over it. I guess we can bitch about the Inky
doing what most papers do-- run a press release with a few additional
comments. Journalism ain't what it used to be.
But the only real criticism is whether the UCD's report is accurate or
not. The article's account seems reasonable to me: there's more
business, more construction, more home ownership, higher rents, greater
demand, and the quality of life's nice. Especially when we recall that
UCD doesn't just cover our Spruce Hill-centric village, but pretty much
everything from the river to 52nd street, and as far north as Drexel
University.
Wouldn't surprise me if the report's accurate. Still, I'd be open to
read some serious statistical surveys to the contrary.
