Campus Apartments is one of the partners of the proposed hotel, not the owner of the vacant and unsightly commercial building across the street. Fair is fair; it's not correct to accuse the potential developer of neglecting an adjacent property. Check the ownership on Hallwatch.org, here: http://www.hallwatch.org/proptax/search/address/tr/current?addr%3Alist=300-499+s.+40th&evenodd= While there, you can also look up the owners on the 3900 & 4000 block of Pine St. and the 4000 block of Baltimore. You're going to see the same landlord names repeated many times, and very few individuals. Also note that the property description for the one full time resident homeowner on the block (4017 Pine) shows that she has a garage, so I guess parking won't be an issue for her. In the 4100 block of Pine, "the O'Donnell house" which is also mentioned in the email to which I'm responding, has an enormous yard with gates which could probably work for parking and still leave loads of play space for the children. And another homeowner on the 4100 block of Pine who is opposed to the project has a very long driveway and deep yard, so she, too, has her own private parking. Also, the homeowners on Woodland Terrace have permit parking - so the hotel guests wouldn't be able to warehouse their cars on the Woodland folks' block. I point this out in the interest of fairness and complete reporting also.
