Can’t read, paywall. I’ve resorted to forwarding the url to myself in email so I can place it in the archiver and see if the inky disallows that page. Real pain in the ass multi step procedure to do on mobile to just try to read something.

Love those dragons. If anyone ever develops that parking lot, they should be required to keep the dragons front and center.

I think it’s “permanent housing best but short term rentals better than a parking lot.”
I mean, that’s how I feel. What I prefer isn’t always what I get but this is an improvement.

For real (with the caveat that I’ve never actually tried the pizza because of how annoying it seemed to order it)

Short term rentals in any form take away from permanent housing

This is one way to announce you don't understand the basics of housing policy. Short term rentals can be bad when they replace permanent housing, not a parking lot. If anything this saves long term housing from conversion to short term so any good urbanist should be happy.

Reply to comment by HelloMyNameisPaul in Divine Lorraine Hotel by FGoose
Honestly, there's not really any old architecture to be seen inside. They gutted the rooms when they renovated, it's pretty much all new construction inside and looks like any other modern apartment. The part they kept is the lobby, which you can easily look at just by being buzzed in. The restaurant (Cicala) is very nice and you walk through the lobby if you need the bathroom at any point.

Haddonfield residents would rather turn the place into a toxic waste dump than build affordable or indeed any multi family housing

> 225-239 North 13th Street. The project will include 1,748 square feet of commercial space and a gym on the ground floor. There will be a loading dock located on Summer Street.
Not the parking lot with the two dragon statues on 9th and Cherry, just FYI.

developing a parking lot = Good
Short term rentals = Bad
