organizations which wield political power (Penn, UCD, local politicians, etc)

any evidence, nor is Andy necessarily lying (I would assume he is
Darco, do you envision a world in which no "individuals at high levels"
can ever "let their preferences be known in private conversations"?
Powerful people talk to other powerful people all the time, in every
society humanity has devised. It is not presumptively evil or unfair for
them to do so

Also a sound account.
But the most important discussion of neighborhood development, of
course, is always whether the development is good for the neighborhood
or not. Correct?
I gassed up and repaired my vehicle at that garage many a time. But it

Actually the downside is that they created one of the worst intersections in

that powerful organizations and people usually work in their own self interest.
In the case of University City/West Philly, those people and organ
I can speak from my own experience, that when construction of that intersection
began, I assumed it was for a Penn project, however I could find no reference
