Don't miss the "letter" by Andrew Goodman in today's University City Review, and the response by the Editor/Publisher, Bob Christian. Andrew's letter is stereotypical of the anointed vision so many of the Penn/UCD people have of what's best for everybody else, and Bob's response puts this in its place. Especially remarkable was Goodman's assertion that a recent meeting of the Friends of 40th St, at which the community wanted to talk about crime along Market Street, "had much more [unreported] depth than that." The proof was that "Ed Datz, executive Director of Real Estate at Penn [ flunky if ever there was one!], gave us an overview on the Radian project [which, of course, the low-income seniors who were the audience not only don't care about but are being flouted by]." Goodman continued with a classic bit of chutzpah, to wit "In my opinion, the fact that such a prominent Penn official engaged in an open conversation with local neighborhood residents is quite newsworthy." Earth, calling Andrew Goodman. You're cleared to land.
