Like, for example, the @hallmonitorwppm.bsky.social crew is at #PHLCouncil's hearings on the #76Place arena proposal. We've been here for every single minute of every single hearing on this project because that's all we do. We spend almost as much time in Philadelphia City Hall as local officials do

I'm at the #76Place public hearings and it's a full house here at #PhiladelphiaCityCouncil chambers. There's a lot of comment on both sides of the debate, but in the end it's about the numbers.
Actually, it's about one number: 9.

"A side benefit of increasing service for arena patrons is that non-event goers will have better service every evening this increase in service will lead to increased ridership of regional rail by the general public - independent of the arena". #76place #philadelphia

The reason why Philly has an abundance of office space is because folks discovered work/life balance during the pandemic lockdowns. Most folks don't want to return to a 9 to 5 office schedule when they can work from home. I don't think that #76Place solves this problem.

But if they don't get the chance to speak today, they can come to #PhiladelphiaCityHall tomorrow when #Day4 of the #76Place hearings begins at 10 am. I say this because Panel 7 is a panel of ministers. If you've ever sat through a panel of ministers, you'll understand where I'm coming from.

I'm at the #76Place hearings for #PhiladelphiaCityCouncil. #SEPTA is currently testifying, which is what everyone was trying to stick around for. The transit authority just announced fare increases and service due to budget shortfalls, but it plays a big part in the #Sixers calculations for #76Place

Consultant's dubious Philadelphia arena growth forecast, boosting #76Place, relies on NY-area venue fictions
normanoder.substack.com/p/consultant...
CSL missed two competing arenas (which closed), MSG renovation, new-venue bump, post-pandemic surge.
