| This tree is no longer wedged into the arch of the bridge. The Philadelpia
Parks department contracted to have it cut out, to avoid possible injury to rowers, when and if
it ever naturally freed itself.
The Schuylkill River height during this flood did not break the 100 year high
water mark. So, whenever you hear developers trying to force a riverfront development on the 100
year flood plain, think of this picture. Do you want this log coming through your front window?
Because developement in the Philadelphia area has become saturated, with virtually no new farm
land to exploit, developers have resorted to bribery and extortion via lawyers at county zoning
meetings. Using the threat of a lawsuit to shut down any oppsition to idiotic development plans.
Idiotic as in build a development on top of Rattlesnake dens is South Jesery. Really, there ought
to be an IQ test to be a developer.
Meanwhile, the development possibilities of the city of Philadelphia are ignored.
It's time we licenced and limited the number of developers we allow to do business in this area.
