This quotation derives from Nicole Contosta, who has covered this issue
extensively for the University City Review for many months.
Neither Contosta nor any other journalist is free of error. But I'll go
with her report against that of a "citizen journalist" who faked an
imaginary nursing home on Market St. on this very list, not one month
ago. Every claim Glenn publishes at, or about, public meetings should be
dismissed by choosy readers, unless backed by independent testimony.

And that's why I originally quoted a remark by Gary Jastrzab of PCPC
that you ignored in the original news article, and that you just ignored
again: “Initially we had major issues with the height of 11 stories. But
with the cut-outs," added Jastrzab in reference to the five rooms that
were removed from the hotel’s top story, giving it the appearance of a
reduced scale from certain angles, "the staff views this development as
a very difficult trade-off.”
Had Mr West attended the hearings for which he provides expert analysis; he
would know that Mr. Greenberger and not Mr Jastrzab had been the person (new
Penn/Nutter director and commissioner) who interjected this charade.
Mr. Greenberger compared the new, hidden, drawings/plan to another city (I
believe Vancouver) and made comments similar to the ones above. Mr.
Greenberger was ostensibly suggesting that PCPC commissioners had actually
thought about the old drawings and new drawings and had arrived at some
rational approval of this new bullshit as being a Penn improvement.
Let that West wind blow,
Mr Moyer, citizen journalist
