Liz,
Truthfully to portray the chief concern of Philadelphia City government
as 2009 is ushered in, is not "advocating." It's just reporting.
The chief concern of City government at this hour, like most other
jurisdictions across America, is to sustain its local economy. If zoning
regulation helps to sustain that economy, zoning will do quite well
without my advocacy. If zoning regulation is perceived by local
"deciders" to hamper this economy at this hour, then regulation
enthusiasts face a challenge I recommend they respond to smartly.
nice try, tony, but at this hour, the question is not
whether a campus inn at 40th and pine can sustain or hamper
the local economy -- not when penn owns so much other
property on which to build a campus inn. and the question is
not whether a zoning change at 40th and pine can sustain or
hamper the economy -- not when penn owns so much other
property with the zoning it needs. so you're still
advocating for penn here, not 'just reporting'.
the question today is whether a developer should change the
existing zoning at 40th and pine, for a purchase that penn
made 5 years ago, at the permanent expense of our neighborhood.
