Campus Inn opponents, The DP printed a retraction today regarding the reporter's fictional creation of the quintessential NIMBY, Glenn Moyer. Yesterday's DP press release for the Campus Inn, the day prior to the Trustees meeting, portrayed a struggle about smart developers being hampered by low functionig NIMBYs from the neighborhood.
The editor's have promised follow-up to give an accurate representation of the real and serious issues involved. They have also indicated that they will investigate the serious accusations I made in my real testimony against both the PHC and PCPC. Managing editor is Julliette Mullin. As some neighbors have pointed out, Penn is setting an incredible precedent. This is not about variances. Penn and their city commissions are eliminating all zoning requirements for all projects of the University of Pennsylvania Real Estate in any residentially zoned neighborhood in the city. If zoning should be abandoned, let it occur through open and transparent legislative processes and have it apply for all of us. I want to keep a small herd of goats and start making goat cheese. This is much deeper than low functioning NIMBYs calling out and holding signs. Today's retraction is only the first step for the DP to professionally correct the mistakes. Stay tuned. I have pledged full cooperation to see all of these issues explored. Either contact me or contact Ms. Mullin directly to provide your contact information if you were present and can corroborate the false record keeping by the two Penn/Phila Commissions, PCPC and PHC. Let's see how this evolves over the coming weeks. Eventually we should be able to obtain transcripts of today's closed door Trustees meeting. I expect that the Trustees will be approving the Campus Inn today behind those closed doors. The real Glenn ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
