Bro is being a dick for no reason. I live in the area and don't own a car and even I know how horrendous parking is

Way too bland. I would love to see a large developer do something outside the box with one of these projects.

Sucks that public transit doesn’t reach up the same corridor of 95 to get to my office :)

Yes! If your gun is stolen out of your glovebox or dresser drawer or any other insecure location! Safes and trigger locks should be a standard expectation for storage!

The ATF should be allowed to computerize records to make it easier to trace illegal guns back to the last legal owner. That would be a game changer.

I’ll correct myself.
Every. Single. Organization.

It's going to be a real issue. I used to head over to Standard Tap for an easy meal with my family, and now it's a good 20 minutes of driving around waiting for a spot to open while we're all getting increasingly annoyed. In other words, we don't do it anymore.
(We're coming from W Philly).

I'm not sure I'd call that lot "blighted" per se, it's frequently used by SEPTA for their vehicles. But I'm glad more development is happening down there.

It's true that America also has a deeply violent culture that doesn't seem to exist in most other developed countries.
But even if we had all of that, but no unfettered access to guns for literally everyone, we wouldn't have this amount of shootings.

The gun cultists can't handle the truth so they downvote. Symptomatic of the problem with our country.

Yea, I'm saying 750k is low for 2nd degree murder.
I used to work in the preliminary arraignments, I would expect at least a mil here, where brutal murders with guns got 2mill+ .
I don't think I ever saw someone not get bail actually. 75k bail sounds cheap as hell for someone who just murdered a man in cold blood. Doesn't seem to put the communities interest in perspective at all.

Yeah, I’m getting older now and those 55+ gated communities are starting to look pretty damn good. I’ve been struggling with the streets of Philadelphia for 30+ years (adult years) and it’s no longer fun. I imagine it’s nice if you can afford to live in a wealthy community but anything outside that can get pretty bleak at times. I understand why so many fled cities in the 70’s. It could happen again.

If you are not taking up spots at the bar for your kid(s) - I don't see a problem.
