I don't get your point. I wasn't against expanding infra. I was against setting it up so you both can't use a car and can't commute to within city limits.

> I don't get it, then.

We know.

Kanella’s?

Great shot but check your white balance.

This city is getting ridiculous. It’s expensive as duck to live in grad hospital there’s literally no where to escape it

I bought two new cars. I have a two car driveway. Both cars rear ended by idiots who didn’t have insurance. Both cars dented to shit parked in random places throughout the city. Do not get a new car in Philly, regardless of your home parking situation.

A car parking in front of me hit my bumper the first day I bought the car. I was really mad, a week later another one completely scratched it. After a while you accept people don't know how to park or are a holes.

He actually did announce a plan though

Honestly just get another beater. Like a used Subaru, or Honda or Toyota. But honestly I'd just ride that Camry till the wheels come off. That things engine will run as long as there's oil in it for a hundred thousand miles more than your outside estimate

Edit: also, why on earth do people live in south Philly and drive to CC? Just seems odd. Buses are easy and cleanish.

When I got a new car I knew that first ding or scrape would make me really mad, so I hit a pillar in a parking garage right away so I could only be mad at myself. At least that's the way I've justified my idiocy.

Oh no, this is bad

You can’t street park a car in a city without dents or scrapes happening here and there. It’s just not possible. If you get a new car, you’ll just have to accept this and remember that no one is scrutinizing your car even 1% as much as you are.

Remember, no car will look better the more it is used. You just have to enjoy having a new one to drive around :)

I don't get it, then. I've only ever worked in the city & I've always either biked or taken transit. If it's simply a matter of those types of infrastructure being improved, then it's a different discussion entirely. And yes - even if you need a vehicle for work, reducing the amount of traffic in the city will only benefit you.

I was at a SEPTA meeting a couple years ago and asked why can’t they connect the BSL to the R6, and possibly the two chestnut hill lines in north Philly through a new tunnel. They have the extra track north of walnut locust to handle increased transit down there.

A couple SEPTA workers were honest with me afterwards and said they have thought about that for decades but it would fought very strongly by locals to regional rail stations. There’s an increase in crime/loitering around subway stations in the city that you don’t get at regional rail stations. To convert such stations would involve so much pushback it won’t be an easy project. But on the other hand the amount of money and effort they’re putting into this it could’ve gotten it done if redirected.

hi! i loved living there!

Only know a couple friends who do it and it’s cause they don’t have a car.

We’ve gotten two new cars in the past 10 years, second was bc we have that third kid. It’s fine as long as you accept dings. I think every car I’ve owned has been dinged within first couple months.

My business is still on the city, just ftr

I mean.... Trains need to get downtown from where I work....

I was happy with my 1997 Mirage in the city. It was the perfect.beater car. Especially in West Philly. I used to get dings regularly on Spruce. Park too close to me in the front and back on Pine St.? I'll show you the Chicago way of leaving a spot.

definitely going to check out. does anyone know of any churrasqueria barbecue in Philly?

JUST ONE MORE LANE, BRAH
