It's not about giving the brunt to ordinary people like you. It's about actually implementing an equitable tax policy, where businesses aren't incentivized to center their operations way out on the edge of the metropolitan area. King of Prussia has a population of 22k yet it employs 60k jobs - mostly tech, media, and admin in the white collar sphere, nothing that couldn't be done in an ordinary hi-rise here in the city. It's insane that's even allowed.

Like I implied, we're a long ways from capping the highways. That's long-term, but the jobs need to move back here first, obviously.

Exactly. Just bc you “reverse commute” or something doesn’t mean we have to design for that current use. Let’s density and then you can figure your shit out. Maybe you’ll have to move to the burbs if you wanna work there.

I follow all that (I commuted for four years to Blue Bell with no car). But the only way your parking can be guaranteed is if you park on your own property. My house didn't come with a parking space (which wasn't a surprise to me, because I have eyes), so I park on the street, same as everyone else. But it would be ludicrous for me to expect other people to not build homes because I need to be sure I can continue to park my car on the public street with no issue. Street parking belongs to no one (not even homeowners, long-time residents or those who own traffic cones).

I stand by my original point that our plans for where to house people should take no account whatsoever of where anyone is going to store their car when they're not using it. People will either find a place or make other arrangements.

That does suck for you, for real. Just wonder if cities should be built for “reverse commuters”. Doesn’t seem like a good policy/design goal.

Good. A building that looks like Philly. Not those cheap ass siding slab sided crap they're throwing up along the river and on wash and broad.

I mean if we had a solid and well connected subway that ran every 15min it'd be a different discussion....

I'd have to sell my home if 95 was kneecapped more. Or sell the business. I like living in south Philly, I don't want to live where our business has been for twenty years in ne. But hey.... Fuck me right?

Maybe if our subways and the el weren't shit and piss piles, ran more frequently, and ran to further locations, we wouldn't need a fucking car as much in this city. If I took the train to work it'd have to be regional rail - despite still being in the city. I'd get about a mile and change from work - and easy bike ride..... But no sidewalks lna death defying road to bike on. So I live somewhere with parking and reverse commute every day.

Nah let's just add more lanes to 95

As someone who works adjacent to the undergrad population I can tell you the level of drinking has remained the same, more so that going to a bar and paying premiums for drinks has become less appealing. A massive liquor store at 43rd and Chestnut in the new development there opened last year and it’s always hopping when I walk home from work, same goes for other stores near campus. Kids are just buying in bulk and having parties/hangouts on campus rather than going to bars.

Kinda looks like he enjoys the smell of his farts don’t he?

Late to the party, but y'all realize we are downwind of Palestine, OH right?

There's a non-zero chance this is fallout from the train wreck fires.
