There's is a lot of stuff, including lists of public meetings, one tonight in fact, regarding zoning code change at zoningmatters.org <http://www.zoningmatters.org/ >. I'm posting this fully aware that, according to at least one frequent UCList poster, it's probably way too complicated for most of us to understand and will surely leave us befuddled. It might be worth a look, though.? Carl Primavera,?a former Chancellor of the Philadelphia Bar Association and one of our?most prominent and successful real estate lawyers, has previously stated for the record?< http://www.philadelphiaweekly.com/view.php?id=12619?> "Rather than rely on ZBA hearings, community groups should help rewrite the zoning code,?"I know they're exhausted from fighting these guerrilla wars."" Primavera's?comment?countered?an outlandish assertion made by?John Shady Street's, and now former, ZBA Chairman - legend for his unhealthy eating habits and sometimes extra-legal conduct of the ZBA - David Auspitz. "Auspitz warns(ed) neighborhood groups to not be "fooled" by reform advocates. "What we've got is a patchwork approach to zoning, but it's also the quilt that comforts and protects you from the cold," says Auspitz. "Fewer restrictions in the zoning code would probably benefit developers, and leave communities with fewer opportunities to participate."" I find it?distressing that?Auspitz, a?former delicatessen owner, believes that Everyman should rely on the wisdom of the ZBA, while Primavera, one of Philadelphia's greatest practicing?jurist, believes that Everyman should participate in the development and codification of a new less convoluted zoning code. ? Its quite amazing how befuddled stone-aged man has crafted metals to smash through the shields of tyrants, put men on?our moon, and propel AI controlled?robots?to the far reaches of our solar system. ? Ironic,?TeamTL has engaged Primavera for land use law support. But, Primavera admits the money he earns?paid for his personal residence in Chestnut Hill.
