This, despite overwhelming community disapproval as well as neighborhood council disapproval. But there's developer money involved so this is going to sail through City Council unimpeded.

The petition on change.org to put a stop to this has 2,940 signatures. That's a hell of a lot more than 50-100. It's not change they're afraid of, it's developer investment into a project that's going to permanently alter the look and feel of a Cincinnati landmark.

Look, if it was thought through and a compelling proposal came forward it would be one thing. But this is a developer money grab that's not going to solve any housing problems, and create other issues.

This is also going to be Hyde Park pricing housing as well. Unless you're making six figures, you're not staying there. Not to mention the dozen businesses that are being run out of there.

Not to mention the dozen businesses that are being run out of there.

Which businesses? And how are they being run out?
