It's all posturing, just like the W got its Tax increment financing, so will Dranoff get some kind of a sweetener for sure. It's a beautiful project and as a fan of the Philly skyline I hope it gets built, but the tax abatement issue is not so cut and dry. How many additional tax breaks to the wealthy condo buyers, developers and hotel guests really need?
