It's a shame that one of Philadelphia's leading developers and someone who owns so many prime development parcels in this city is seemingly incapable of understanding even the most basic tenants of urbanism.

The whole palazzo on roof idea is terrible. Beyond terrible really. It's god damn idiotic. Someone close to Blatstein needs to grab him by the collar and repeatedly smack him across the face until he wakes up and understands how moronic this idea is. It's for his own good.

Beyond that, the desire to create a super block here instead of creating a more human scaled development is terrible. The massing is idiotic. Designing a building on two major streets that will basically have no ground floor steet presence. Just terrible. Hate it.

Worst part though, cant imagine neighbors would support it or that it would be approved especially considering Blatstein's recent track record of accomplishing nothing. This is worse than a terribly designed project, it's a project that isn't going to happen. This lot is going to be vacant for a long time.
