Face it, Ray. People on committees are all experts who always tell the
truth and those who aren't on committees are lying ignoramuses. It's
simple.

Ray,
Are you a dues-paying member of SHCA? I am, so I have standing when
I speak about SHCA actions.
Your criticisms of SHCA procedures show no awareness of practical
Association issues at any level. The subject of how to run a civic
group in the city of Philadelphia is one you have relentlessly
refused to learn anything about, for many years. What is your
background in this field? Are you prepared to tell your neighbors
what you are good at, and why your opinion on how to decide a zoning
issue might be valuable to us all? In your personal experience with
zoning committees, what is it Barry did wrong that you have done
better, when you were personally called to make these difficult
decisions in previous Zoning Committees you have sat on?
UC-list has a right to know exactly how much of an expert you are,
on a subject you represent yourself as a judge.

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.
