Reply to Rebecca Rhynhart is running to be Philly’s 100th mayor – the first female to lead the city by Saint_2022
Just read the article and look at the policy prescriptions, or, lack there of.
Might be a sign of the times in politics that we can’t get anyone to stand up and say “we need more tax revenue from our giants” or “the police budget shouldn’t be the largest expenditure in the city if we have 500 shootings a year” or “let’s highlight the impact of the nonprofits not paying taxes” or “perhaps a soda tax supposed to generate money for childcare, half that money shouldn’t just be put back into the general fund” or “F the PPA”.
There’s No policy prescriptions anymore. It’s all “let’s evaluate….” Type stuff. We are selecting the best evaluator, I suppose. We need doers though, peeps.

I would never buy a brand new car if street parking were my only option. I’ve been burned far too many times.

“What has she done?”…..”she managed the writing of some awesome senior class reports”…. “Did you read them?”….”some of them”

Their budget has gone up or down since then?

It must be amazing to create your own parking laws and have no one enforce them.

When I moved to philly I owned two cars. First time I went to south philly car #1 got dinged. Took car #2 to south philly and it got dinged horribly. Decided it was time to downsize to 1 lol.

I’ve had two new-to-me cars in the last two years (thanks to an accident on 95) and both got significant cosmetic damage within the first month. First car got scraped in a wawa parking lot and the second one got a large dent right above my rear wheel. It’s just what it is at this point.

No regrets. My new car goes as fast as i ever want it. A few dings on the door, couple scrapes on the bumper, oh well, if it isn't in a rust-critical area, you live with it.
Who the hell cares if your mode of transportation is pristine or a little dinged. Get over it.

I have a brand new white Tesla and honestly, I kind of expect something to happen it sooner or later especially like you I drive and park around Chinatown/CenterCity and South Philly a lot.
I could put on a ceramic coating or PPF.. but that's a lot of work and/or money.
Should I just do it?

I do the same thing in Dark Souls games. Run off the first cliff I see. When the first one is on me, the rest hurt less.

Philadelphians want political leaders who are from the masses. We have 25% poverty level.
Couple of good examples: Kendra Brooks Jamie Gauthier
I don't like Rebecca for mayor. She is good as a controller but not as a mayor. I don't see her bringing unity or as someone who can identify with Philadelphians.
Again I like Jeff Brown and I also like Maria. But I lean towards Jeff.

Politicians generally aren’t, it matters more who they’re prepared to serve though

Hey, you do you. I felt it was decent, but not even close to the best I've ever had and absolutely not worth what they charge I'd much rather spend the same amount eating more unique and prepared food.
