Come on. We both know if there was federal funds involved the selection process could not favor "the original leaders." I know Jacob Fisher from Pennrose, but forget whether he worked on the John Anderson project. I apologize for questioning like this, but I worked for one of the city housing agency (not PHA), so am aware of the rules.

Yes, I am certainly aware of the Senior Living Community. But, could you describe how residents were selected? Wasn't there federal money involved? If so, there had to be more complicated selection of tenants than you mention.

How long ago did you live in Philadelphia? I rarely go near Rittenhouse Square. The area around Fitler Square is more interesting now that the bike path extends over the river to South Philadelphia. Also the Barnes Foundation has revitalized the area around Logan Square. Barnes Foundation draws people from all over the world because of the A+ art museum. I live near the Barnes -- much more interesting neighborhood now.

When I moved to Philadelphia I lived in a small apartment on South 3rd Street near the historic sites. Hamilton lived near there when he served in Washington's cabinet. That area is called either Society Hill or Olde City. Further south from Center City, Queen Village and Pennsport might be a bit cheaper. The gay neighborhood is around 12th Street from Walnut to Lombard. Recently Penn students are living around 20th and Walnut rather than 34th and Walnut where the University of Pennsylvania is located. I am leaving out much of the city where families tend to live and the near suburbs (on the main line --named for the commuter trains).
