I hope that never happens. It seems that there's all this hue and cry about the "boom" going overboard and how it'll destroy the feeling of this "greene countrie towne". The NIMBYs of Center City will never agree with Street on most issues but they probably will join in with Street on this one. If they get their way then Philadelphia will go from ONE tall residential building having been built in the last 20 years to NO tall residential buildings. Of coruse that is exactly what the Luddites of this town want...
