[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are mistaken.

GDS is literally asking for (as in have filed a PUD application requesting) permission to build an extra 116,753 SF (basically 3 extra stories) on the Martens lot.  And their site plans explicitly incorporate two strips of public land (one off Ellicott and another along 42nd Street), totaling 6,275 SF.

This *is* the revised PUD proposal, as modified on March 22, 2016.  The original proposal was even greedier.[/quote]
Greedier??!!! Why is this greedier? This is crazy. It is not bad to try to have a more financially sound more inclusive institution. What trying to make the mist out of something when you are not taking it out from others is greed? WTF?![/quote]

Demanding twice as much as you're entitled to strikes me as greedy.  YMMV.  Any corporation could argue that greater profits would make it more financially sound.  And the whole more inclusive mantra is BS.  This deal isn't about financial aid -- it's about status and cronyism.  And, yes, overdeveloping that block does affect the quality of life for others.

GDS wasn't demanding anything. They were going through a public process that is perfect legal, to build what they are entitled to, but in a different arrangement than is allowed by current zoning. It makes more sense to stack that density on Wisconsin Avenue then along the back of the property where there are single family homes. But that won't happen now. GDS should just build what they are entitled to, to the maximum, in the areas where they can and cut their losses.[/quote]
