Hi, Stephen,
If Lussenhop was interested in the concerns of this community, he would not
propose a 10-story building on that lot. He's not interested in "responding" to
criticisms; he's just going to repeat the same talking points as if we're too
stupid to understand how important what he's going to try to shove down our
throats is, and we'll come around to his point of view if he exlains it to us
v-e-r-y s-l-o-o-o-w-l-y.
He tries to come off as "your friendly neighborhood hotel developer" and makes
a transparent effort to make himself look like just a regular, friendly guy
from the neighborhood: "Tom", and even gives his address.
Tom Lussenhop is no friend of this neighborhood. He may be IN this
neighborhood, but he is not OF this neighhorhood, and the only best interests
he is concerned about are his own and those of his cronies.
