It's absolutely crazy that the Commonwealth would ever go against their largest economy's interest, when they could instead provide them with services to enable the economy /s

Dude :( It wouldn't be a bad idea, but just be careful if you do head out right now. And if you see anyone doing that or something else to your car, don't confront them. Just call the cops. Your life comes first. Don't take a bullet for your car. Good luck.

Yo I just parked here 2 hours ago and have a Honda wtffff. This isn’t my car though. Am I really going to have to go check my car at 1am right now fuck.

If a redirection on the el is the collapse of society to you, maybe you only have first world problems. I was just trying to give people a heads up.

And it would provide a direct link from NW/CC to KOP.

sorry you have to be there :(. I feel like CHOP should have a banging cafeteria. How has that been for ya?

The cars on federal highways all end up on local streets

Again that's just pure bullshit, as I pointed to already in terms of recent and coming major capital projects.

The Philadelphia board members have veto power, they have disproportionate power on the board compared to the other members, additionally most of SEPTA's capital spending had been on city projects.

Everyone in here trying to push this conspiracy theory that the SEPTA board has it out for Philly, and that the suburban members block funding projects in the city is an idiot who who clearly doesn't know shit about SEPTA, how it operates, how it's funded, what it's agency objectives are, and what it's done already.

Quite frankly so many of the takes in this thread are from people who just to moved to Philly 5 minutes ago. That or they're actually still children who don't know shit about how SEPTA works and what it done just in the last 20 years.

They certainly don't know the dynamics of the metropolitan region, or how major infrastructure projects get done in the real world.

Yeah the streetscape on Walnut and Spruce are both pretty bad, but if you walk on locust its pretty nice, which i guess is the intention for those dorms and all the other buildings facing locust. If anything the grey hideosity on walnut opens up the street with the setback from the second story up.

I think it's the fact that they're factory rims with a low profile tire. They look good, but since there so many out there people figure, fuck it they're easy to take

I’m learning what vehicles I should never buy. What’s the market on 20 year old Ford Ranger parts?

I’m reading along and “Perfect Pussies” caught my eye. Did you check his comment history and notice he was in a sub named that? Lol

It's always been a tax war with the suburbs & edge cities. They're still planning a rail extension to KOP. I'm not an economist, and I'm not going to argue whether the wage tax or the business taxes in Philly need to be cut to compete with the burbs, but I will say that the way these municipalities encourage businesses to locate their operations miles and miles from our population centers is appalling.

But one thing that I can speak with certainty of, is that the greater the professional labor pool there is within the city limits, the more employers will be incentivized to take advantage of it and seek more competitive candidates by relocating to the city. That can only come with continual investment in the city, regardless of the barriers.

I don't get why Philly people are so deprecating about this place. This city's seen such persistent development & job growth over the past decade, yet people still want to act like it's destined to stay in the gutter. It's weird.

I got stuck in this mess today. I wish I’d had some noise cancelling device so I didn’t have to hear people bitching, like it was going to solve anything. The worst was some old guy who started screaming that people were blocking the stairs down to the platform at Huntingdon. He was completely unhinged. He finally got to the platform and had to wait another 15 mins, like everyone else. He was very punchable because you could hear the racism in his tone. Yes, I see the irony in me bitching about people bitching.

but they have gotten attached to the tree rat!

Honestly always thought that this plan was the extension of that line. That fucking blows that it’s not.

Sanchez should have kept her council job. She’s got no chance becoming Mayor but I think she could have made a run for Council Prez.

They took mine of 2018 Accord at 21st and Cathrine few years back. At least if got crates for each wheel.

I’ve puked between those handicap signs before.

I had thought the lottery was completely open. Open to anyone. Do you have any links to this info? Is there a centralized site offering info on how standards have changed for the magnet schools ?
