Ori deserves thanks and support!

[BALLZ2BHERE]

"torts, i'm not saying philly is clean. i'm just saying it's not the dirtiest. whatever."

WOW!

Stop saying stupid **** just to try and discredit people....
you must work for the city !

[Cro Burnham]

Man i could walk over there , sit on the bench, and just fall off the bench, and i got me a case!!!! the city will sue poor Ori, and we the taxpayers will be left to settle a lawsuit, its a shame people think this way but i

the city's liability concerns are legitimate. and easy to solve.

sell ori the property. voila, no liability, no blight, no property to mismanage, new taxes to receive, and a private property owner to whom the city can legitimately issue citations and raise revenues.

so nutter, please explain why you won't sell this to ori? you're in charge, at least on paper, so what's the deal.

this is so simple only an ineffectual nutless idiot couldn't resolve it.

Dear Mayor Nutter:

Where are you?

An agency you are directly responsible for has just shown how far off the rails it has gone.

Please issue a statement rejecting the profound dysfunction and incompetence exemplified by this case.

Why the silence? Where are you? Please come out from under the bed. we won't bite you, just fix the problem. It's easy.

Be a . . . leader?

*crickets* *crickets* *crickets*

Are you a leader or just another spineless Philadelphia political hack?

We're waiting, Mr. Mayor.

Support OCF Garden Party
Friends, I have created a event tomorrow at 11:30am to show your support for the restoration of this land that OCF has done. We need to send a clear signal to the city government that we will not stand for blighted city-owned land in our communities and support the work of Ori and others to restore trash and crime infested land. Please pass this along and I look forward to us coming out in our support tomorrow.

Wish i had heard about this. how did it go.

[Gladys]

If Nutter is smart, he'll get right on top of this as quickly as possible and acknowledge and apologize for the multi-level absurdity and incompetence in Philadelphia government laid bare by this incomparably ridiculous case. So many ironies:

1) City "Redevelopment" agency (heh heh) fails to maintain property, contributes to neighborhood blight

2) City is not aware that it owns said property

3) City mistakenly fines private parties for not cleaning garbage or snow on sidewalks of said property that City owns but does not maintain and seems unaware that it owns, even though City is aware that it has made said property "available for sale" for many years

4) City does not acknowledge multiple written inquiries from private party interested in purchasing and maintaining said property that City owns but does not maintain and seems unaware that it owns, even though City is aware that it has made said property "available for sale" for many years but now seems unwilling to entertain purchase proposals

5) Redevelopment agency director in charge of "property management" fails to manage said property (i.e., even fails to clean up garbage and snow on sidewalks); City provides self-indicting proof of such failure, and, simultaneously, of apparently limitless, seamless parallel horizontally integrated bureaucratic incompetence, by mistakenly issuing citations to private non-owner of said property for failure to maintain said property that, as we now know, City owns but does not maintain and seems unaware that it owns, even though it is aware that it has made said property "available for sale" for many years but now seems unwilling to entertain purchase proposals.

6) Redevelopment agency director in charge of "property management" - i.e, the one who fails to manage said property, and whose failure has been documented by City itself through incorrectly issued citations to private non-owner of said property - issues legally threatening legal letters to neighbor for cleaning, beautifying, and maintaining property at a privately incurred cost of $20,000. In other words, failed property manager does not actually maintain said property, but instead writes threatening letters to prevent others from maintaining said property at their own expense. Redevelopment agency demonstrates that its definition of "property management" consists of legal letter writing but not actual physical property management.

7) Redevelopment agency showcases ace public relations officer to demonstrate to public and news media that he knows nothing about, nor seems remotely interested understanding, said chain of events, such as City's own self-indictment of its own failure to properly manage property (as evidenced by sidewalk snow and trash citations), such as private party's written proof of prior multiple unrequited attempts to discuss acquiring property.

Truth is often stranger than fiction.

The last remaining house on my block that is boarded up is owned by the city. (i was told here on PS and hope it's accurate)

Wish i had heard about this. how did it go.

It was great! Next time show your support and be there, don't be known as an all talk tightwad!

[Gladys]

Kiss my ass. If i had known about it I would have walked over.

I do my part. You have no idea about my financial status. I am more than generous by the percentage of what i earn compared to most. I have done a lot around my area. sorry you or others haven't seen it but i don't make a point of broadcasting the good things i do for my neighborhood. Just because it may not be "official" or on your schedule doesn't mean I don't make a difference. I do.

have nothing to prove to you *******.

It was great! Next time show your support and be there, don't be known as an all talk tightwad!

If she was being a tightwad, she would have showed up and expected others attending to buy her drinks and food.

Why wait CroCazzo I say whats on my mind and make no apologies, unlike you other sissy bi**ches! This from a dope who doesn't know how to post a tweet, ahahahahaahha, lecca culo! Wannabes say "yeah yeah let's do a "cash mob"" and then when the action takes place are nowhere to be found even though they are on this site daily and it was broadcast! Hopefully the coffee shop will do enough business to stay open for years to come but if you dummies don't give it business don't cry you knitwits if it ever closes.

Let's not feed the troll. Just report the inappropriate comments and ignore the child.

Perhaps this will fulfill our desire for national media attention - I've seen news stories on USA Today and the like spark from posts on Consumerist.

[PicklePaul]

The thing is unfair to Ori, yes, but also unfair to our city. Philly has so many great people who really give and care. Some even work for the city.

[Gladys]

Unfortunately we also have people who use their power which is supposed to be used for the good of everyone, to further their own agenda. It seems the only way to curb that is for it to all become very public.

You are right it just takes one idiot to get bad press.

But hey at least it's not a violent crime this time.

Yet.

I have to admit I do worry for Ori's safety, love what he is doing and hope that he doesn't become a statistic.

I think this is that psychotic paranoid poster from Delaware County who keeps getting banned from PhiladelphiaSpeaks and SkyscraperPage and keeps coming back with new identities. It's sort of sad, like the dude has a case of internet Tourette's Syndrome and simply cannot control the verbal diarrhea pouring from his fingertips.

I'll try to remember his previous name: oh yeah, it was Ramdomuser. I think bjennerfu might be the latest incarnation or Randomuser. Welcome back, you entertaining freak boy! I look forward to many minutes of hilarity before you get banned again
