I don't know the latest specific complaint, but it's mostly virtue signaling nonsense combined with typical overdone resistance to change.
This stretch of Market is shabby at best and it is beyond me why some people are fiercely against this project... My suggestion is that the Sixers owners (and other entities) should also develop a comprehensive development plan for the stretch of Market from 8th-12th.
Separately, the same people that complained about the Gallery revamp (fearing it would turn into KoP) are now against the Sixers arena... Sometimes people just need to shut up...
