Philly Zoning stupidity. My friend wants to sell 11 lots on Frankford Ave N of Lehigh he assembled.Code says All buildings in CMX-1 district are governed by the dimensional standards of the most restrictive adjacent district which is RSA-5. Not Opportunity zone One owner 17,500sf

@harrisonfinberg I would help you with that. There is a marker in the mikveh israel cemetery in Old City where he was buried. But I don’t think there’s a prominent statue

@molzer Otis is just as corrupt and criminal. You really pick your poison with such limited options

[Andy Kaplin @AndyKaplin]

@jenNY_PHL They were always there. Just weren’t as vocal and as violent. Being anti Zionism is the new way for the left to be jew haters. But they were always there. Just quiet about it since it wasn’t kosher. Not anymore

[Andy Kaplin @AndyKaplin]

I keep saying this here. and my friends keep saying it to me. I also walked past 3 security guards walking into synagogue yesterday. Jew hate is real and anti zionism is jew hate.

A growing number of Jewish Democrats tell Axios they feel shunned — unwelcome strangers in their own party w/ potential 2028 consequences.

“Jews are starting to feel scared again," said Rep. Jared Moskowitz

I swear I should only respond to comments from people who show their full name and somewhat realistic picture. If you want to be taken seriously you should show your name and a real profile. I’m not going to respond anymore to alias and fake names. The dialogue isn’t worth it

@jenNY_PHL White Supremacists were anti Semitic long before 2006. Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner was killed in 1964 by the KKK. I was researching jewish hate crimes in Pennsylvania in the 1990s. Times haven’t changed for the people who have been watching all along

@harrisonfinberg @jongeeting Vaugh Buckely himself has said it himself that won’t work here. Modular housing is mostly cheaper because of the labor costs. Are the building trades going to allow the city to build a warehouse to accommodate non union workers. Very unlikely, very unrealistic, very unserious

[Andy Kaplin @AndyKaplin]

Here’s a ULI report on the land situation. Any development on the land will cost millions just to make the land stable

The logan triangle is fools gold for land development. It’s literally over an active stream and will take millions of dollars to build a stable foundation. If Parker wants to build a modular factory, she should do it in the Navy Yard. Many options there

@jongeeting The Mayor and City Council are in a race to decide who can come up with the dumbest proposals. I was part of a ULI technical assistance program study in 2009 on proposed redevelopment of the land. Here are their findings https://t.co/IdHMt4tB3r

@sou_philly_illy @JawadPullin Zionist escaped real nazis schmuck

There is a new group of people every six miles holding up development in Pennsylvania. Some people will even go to jail for refusing to sign documents. We live in strange times https://t.co/ivGWO7gLtO

I still have my old school signs from my developments in Old City. I got so many customers from these basic signs I made in 2003. I was a pioneer in old city and fishtown and south Kensington. The growth is amazing as I eat lunch at Middle Child in Fishtown

[Andy Kaplin @AndyKaplin]

@AJPreziosi NJ has worse laws for developing. Nj has the pinelands and highland commissions. And NJ has COAH and the Department of Community Affairs. That’s on top of everything.

[Andy Kaplin @AndyKaplin]

SE PA has 424 municipalities across 7 counties surrounding Philly. Each one has its own municipal code, planning commission, and zoning board. That’s 850+ land use bodies making independent decisions about what gets built, where, and how. Fix this and you fix the housing problem

[Andy Kaplin @AndyKaplin]

@PA_Supremacist That’s one stat, but not the whole picture. What about shootings and robbery stats? Do they have the same trends?

[Andy Kaplin @AndyKaplin]

@harrisonfinberg You definitely point out the reason for the boom bust cycle many markets in Texas and Florida experience, and the difference in the slow growth cycle here that prevents the fluctuations because of the structure. It’s a positive side effect for property rights advocates
