Alas, the proposed inn's location at 40th & Pine is not in a local
historic district! If it were, then the developers would not be able to
tear it down, AND they would not be able to build a tall building, and
perhaps more UC neighbors would be satisfied!
the reason the developer can't tear down the mansion is
because it's individually designated, that's what lussenhop
originally wanted to rescind when he went before the phc
back in spring 2007. but the phc denied its being delisted
in july 2007:

your argument for supporting historic districts is misplaced
here. in fact, your arguing for a 10-story hotel at 40th and
pine is AGAINST everything that historic districts are
designed to protect (streetscapes, fabric, ensembles, etc.)
the question has always been a zoning question, and it
happens to involve a property that penn purchased, knowing
that it was a designated property. zoning is a tool to
protect residential areas from unwanted commercial (or
other) development; that is what's being defended here --
and what you are missing, because you keep arguing that the
only way to defend it is with an historic district.
all this was pointed out to you earlier, onlist, in oct
2007, and I'm surprised you're still trying to make this
argument:
