There is WAY too many groups and organizations who oversee new development. Neighborhood groups, the Planning Commission, CDR, ZBA, etc.... and they ALL have conflicting ideas. That's way too many people who have power who shouldn't have it. |

I think this stretch will seek marked improvement over the next three years Just like the Chestnut stretch between 15th and 17th. It's a hotbed of construction and change right now. And hopefully the W hotel to start soon. |

I never bought the BS argument that the Boyd's "blight" was holding back development in the area, and I still don't. Aside from maybe UCity, this stretch is the hottest in the entire city. Despite this flurry of development, there remain many, many "hulking eyesores" on this stretch of Chestnut, but the Boyd is certainly not one of them. http://cdn.phillymag.com/wp-content/...line-welch.jpg Anyway, back to 1900 Chestnut... |

We'll wait for official word that the tower has been downsized first. You never know, crazier things have happened.

The parking debate kills me. Everyone in the city seems to agree there's a surplus or available parking, then they demand more parking, then complain about the traffic it will cause. The entire argument is set up to fail from the beginning. Nothing constructive ever seems to come out of these neighborhood organizations. As long as NIMBYs have been screaming, you'd think by now there'd be a way to weed out the nonsense. |
Why do we think this is being downsized? And to what? I know there was some bad news from the CCRA in May. But does that mean this is definitely a no-go? Pretty sure I saw some new notices in the window when I walked by at the end of next week. Can probably swing by and check it out and snap a pic tomorrow.

I'm still hoping against all hope they work this out. This proposal is great and 9 stories is such a waste for this location.
