Interesting opinions. Your posting style has greatly improved, Bill.
But no, Tony West's unsubscribe is fake, as are many of the public
unsubscribes we've seen. As long as committeeman7 is lurking in the
slime, I'm quite certain that Tony will be around!
Can anyone from the old UCCC explain why SHCA was not part of your
organization? Was the catchment district done privately, as Bill
suggests, by elected officials without input from SHCA and Penn
partners? I heard that Councilwoman Blackwell was disobedient to Penn
at that time??
I was busy fighting the FOCP, and don't know the details of this
seemingly divisive catchment district debate. Was the catchment debate
happy happy joy joy all around the UCD?
Thanks for additional info,
Glenn

P.S. I may be wrong but as I had read the rules for unsubscribing, you and some others
did not actually do so... again, maybe I'm wrong and it may not be all that significant a

majordomo. Please let me know if I am correct, or not, about this. Thank You.
Rick,
This public "unsubscribe" started back with the catchment district fight for
the Penn school. The catchment district was designed to closely resemble the SHCA
historic district boundaries.
Our so called community leaders didn't have time dealing with the deranged
neighbors or civic associations outside of that boundary. They were too busy in
back rooms! So they made a big deal of ignoring discussions on this public list.
1- The public "unsubscribe" is usually done by people who have little Computer experience
and, quite literally, have no idea how to "unsubscribe"
2- The "catchment district:" was gerrymandered by Councilwoman Blackwell's Office. The original
district proposed by the Philadelphia School District was, in fact "rectangular" and based on
population density. It was considerably smaller than the proposed historic district. The final district was
warped into a very strange shape, making previously "stable" neighborhoods into rapidly gentrified
ones as housing prices skyrocketed on homes within the catchment. ... and covers even less of the still only
proposed Historic District. The creation of the Catchment area was a purely political process, orchestrated
by our ELECTED political leaders, not community leaders.
3- the "public unsubscribe" from the "purple" list began long before the Penn
Alexander School was proposed. In fact, most of the exodus occurred in the debate over the Historic
District some 20+ years ago.
