Thanks, Ray! This website shows no mention of any community planning
process run by PennPraxis in which the community sought to limit
highrises on 40th St., or hotels on 40th St.
There have been regular Friends of 40th St. meetings. The PennPraxis guy
who runs them told me to encourage you and anyone else with a view on
the Campus Inn to show up at them. Did you? If you didn't, exactly how
is that PennPraxis' fault?
One UC-list poster did write that he had attended a Fo40St meeting
earlier. He wrote he thought he was in a nursing home and was terrified
of its security guards. Hint: Campus Inn foes, send your A Team to
public meetings if you wish to register an impact on policy-making.
So you've supported my point. Numerous people on the waterfront did
speak up against casinos in a PennPraxis forum, PennPraxis did register
that, and it affected the final report. Numerous people on 40th St. have
not spoken up against hotels in a PennPraxis forum, PennPraxis had
nothing to register, thus nothing to report.
-- Tony West
Name one meeting or plan delivered by PennPraxis at which the Campus
Inn even came up. Cite one overarching principle enunciated by
PennPraxis with regard to 40th St. that, in your opinion, means there
should be no highrise hotel at Pine St.

and now that you're just hitting reply in order to prove my point, not
yours -- I'll say adios.
