I really do not want this project to be cancelled. It would be a huge addition for Mt. Washington! This city has seen project after project fall through due to either a lack of support or a lack of funding.
I don't understand why residential/hotel use here would be so risky. Yes, they would be condos and a hotel, but it's in a rather high-end/upscale part of town. Hotel use is in high demand as well. Plus, this being withinwalking distance from the Monongahela Incline, I wonder if there is any incentive (cash or otherwise) for contructing transit-oriented development. That would be good for at least some funding.
