Lussenhop's proposal envisages zero "residents" and, in fact, anybody
who chose to "reside" in this building would have to be at once very
wealthy and very stupid. Glenn, you are a noted millionaire University
City real-estate investor, bankrolled by Penn from the git-go. But your
own real-estate holdings are strictly resident-oriented, if I'm not
mistaken; you have no background in hotel real estate, do you? This is
not an industry you know anything about, then.
In the 1st Thursday meeting we both attended, Lussenhop carefully
detailed elaborate plans for hotel guests to have their vehicles
liveried to remote locations on Penn lots, so that no parking would be
needed at 40th & Pine. What do you think of these plans? Surely you
weren't trying to fool your neighbors into thinking these plans hadn't
been carefully worked out and presented in public.
In general, I don't believe petty squabbles between rival real-estate
magnates like Tom and you should be given much space on UC-list. I'm
sure he wants his millions; I'm sure you want yours. As a rule, I don't
see Tom prying into your business on UC-list and I don't think you
should be using our bandwidth to pry into his business either. Keep your
mutual business to yourselves -- that would be better for the rest of us.

I think out of gratitude, the community should ask
Penn to demolish some of the nearby houses to put up a
parking lot. It's not fair for the upscale residents
of this 110 unit tower to fight over the nine planned
parking spots. A parking tower from Pine to Baltimore
would help the upscale tourists have convenient
parking without being forced to turn the SUV's around.
Penn is doing so much for us selfish consumers, I
think that is the least we could offer.
