Honestly. What's with people.

This type of uproar almost killed the Society Hill/dock street project. And it did kill a good looking hotel project on Race and 2nd street that would have completely transformed the east side of Old City.

It's so short-sighted and selfish. I can't believe what people say out loud sometimes.
