Thanks, Ray.
Sounds like Barry did what he should have done and neighbors who were
concerned about the project did what they should have done.
actually, barry didn't do what he should have done. his
original announcement of this meeting placed the location at
the shca's offices on 45th street -- a ridiculously small
venue, given the wide public he acknowledged was invited and
necessary for the process.
it was the neighbors (and not you) doing what THEY should
have done -- namely, securing a venue large enough to
accommodate them, asking zoning members with conflicts of
interest to recuse themselves, and then attending (having
done their homework about the project) and presenting their
questions and comments -- that brought about the first
public forum (publicly announced, at a non-penn venue) about
this hotel since news about it was first published back in
october 2007.
and, as we've all seen -- as eyewitnesses and participants
at the meeting, not as commentators who weren't there --
this public meeting demonstrated overwhelming opposition to
this hotel and virtually no support for it.
neither you nor lussenhop nor the shca zoning committee can
possibly alter this, or ignore this, or spin this any other way.
this public meeting was conducted along groundrules that
shca set up as the public process; schc must now honor the
results.
