Let them eat cake

The buyer is not like Whoah it never occurred to me to pay 400k for a house LFG!!

We are in a densely populated city where perhaps cars aren’t important?

We’ve been learning for the past few decades that building more parking and roads doesn’t help the downtowns of cities. Parking sucks in Manhattan but who cares? This isn’t Atlanta after all, it’s a pedestrian city.

Maybe I was thinking of the somewhat recent cbs merger

All I know is there’s a smaller and smaller handful of entertainment and comms companies who control the media market

A house will only sell for 400k if someone buys it for that much. That’s the demand part. Building it isn’t what made it sell for 400k. Then the house next door that’s not removated yeah now they know with up to date renovations they could sell close to that. But the house next door selling for that didn’t raise the prices for everyone. It was jus price discovery. (Putting aside if the house took up the place of an empty lot or blighted property.)

Gun cultists. The price of all these innocent lives is one they're happy to pay so they can have their collections of death toys.

3 Billion for 10k riders is roughly $300k per rider lmao. I know that goes down over the years but...That's insane.

Subway to Manayunk instead please

Do you think it would help if some of the units were required to be below market?

Each County (and the City, which is also it's own county) gets 2 reps. So that's 8:2 already. Plus the gov, senate min/maj and house min/maj each get a rep. Being generous, that's still 10:5 (giving the most credit to the gov and 1 rep from each body) in favor of the counties.

There were (of course) no prices on the pop up menu so at least noche is up front about stuff.

Crazy idea - what if Rebecca Rhynhart bailed from the mayor's race (as progressive and amazing as she would be as mayor - the fact that other candidates have "name recognition" being ex-council AND the unions are throwing their weight behind others doesn't give me hope that she'll make it through the primaries (and I say this as an independent who unfortunately can't vote in the primaries))

And instead she landed one of the open-council seats vacated by the prospective mayor candidates...then somehow got the votes needed to be council president (letting the currently fighting group split the votes, and she'll pick up the majority). In some ways imagine how much more effective she could be as council president in regards to getting policy into effect and manage spending. Let her council term run and a few years later with more name recognition be a mayoral front-runner.

Parking is dead. At this point it would be most healthy to accept the reality and adjust expectations as a result.

Yea, which is nothing for beating a man to death with your bare hands. Maybe I'm the outlier but I'd rather value lives in my community more than 75k to put this guy back on the street to potentially kill again.

Paramount has been the parent company. Paramount owns Viacom which owns Comedy Central which owns the rights to South Park

That's still 75k after bail bonds

I have no idea. I was just putting out a guess.

Doesn't the mall not even want it?

Nice white box

Philadelphians: The wealthy suburbs profit off their proximity to the city but disproportionately hoard money and state resources, leaving the city high and dry

also Philadelphians: how dare you rich snobby suburbanites donate to Philadelphia non profits?!?

Make it make sense

Legally speaking, it means that F1 can be sentenced to 20-40. Anything more than 20 (on the bottom end) results in an illegal sentence that'll get the defendant a whole new sentencing hearing to correct.

Like I said, it goes back to the "maximum" time a defendant can be held in custody following a conviction without requiring a parole hearing. Which becomes the low end of the spread. It's weird. An F2 can get 10-20, and an F3 can get 7-14. Misdemeanors do the same thing at 5, 2, and 1.

Everytown is a truly horrible source

Dude, there have been shootings in Rittenhouse Square and in front of City Hall and Kenny has ignored those as well.

One big reason this is happening is because of the huge increase in residential building (condos/apartments and houses) in the western burbs where they’re planning on having stations. There’s no real alternative to get from these burbs to the city except via 422 and 76, both of which weren’t made to handle the kind of traffic this population growth requires. To remedy that they’d have to expand those highways or work with the existing tracks laid down decades ago and make it a western regional line. I can’t imagine an expansion of those highways would’ve been a cheaper alternative and folks who live in the towns (or nearby) where they plan on having stations have been lobbying for regional rail for years.
