It shows often on this sub. People will essentially talk past each other because we’re talking about completely different day-to-day life experiences depending on where we live and work, etc.
And that’s before we get to the people commenting who don’t live here at all.

So this is the answer. Most people don't know (because we're not 300 years old) but that's how the city originally looked along the waterfront. This project has been simply billed as "putting a roof on I-95" for a while, but there's still the matter of making a nice seamless connection between the city and the waterfront. Or else the project is a waste.

Yea, without that it is hard to really evaluate this list.
This is a list made for asset managers to evaluate investments.
I'd be really curious how they evaluate places like Sao Paulo or Buenos Aires in terms of environmental impact. Sure, they may feel the pain of climate change more than Chicago or Philadelphia but they aren't contributing to the problem nearly as much as Chicago or Philadelphia.
This is a good list for what it was made for but I don't think it should be taken beyond that.

Chestnut hill is relatively sleepy and has a lot of families. Conshy proper is a much younger/livelier place. You'll be taking a regional rail if you wanted to get to center city either way.

not many worse cases besides LA of a city intentionally dismantling its public transit for the sake of cars, is there

Every time you have sales transaction you are processing cash.
Every shift you are counting the till and some of it is walking out the door unless you have an integrated ordering, payment and ticket system.
The amount of money (labor, added friction) businesses spend to avoid the receipts tax is higher than the actual tax.

That makes sense. I don't have a recommendation, but as the other person stated, if it doesn't need to be understood in the US (since its going to Taiwan) wouldn't any notary do? You can just call and see if this is fine?
Similarly, I once had to do foreign-language paperwork for stuff in a foreign countries, and they required I either show up in person or have a proxy go on my behalf, so maybe you need an on-the-ground attorney (or PoA of your own) to execute this? Sorry, this is more me thinking vs knowing the actual answer. Good luck!

Check with real estate offices in Chinatown. They'll have notaries working there. Also a bank would as well.
ETA if there is a councilperson or state legislators office in Chinatown they will also notarize.

I often do work in those neighborhoods (civil engineering) on foot for 8ish hours at a time.
>I dress down (jeans and a hoodie), stay off my phone, mind my business, etc. I don't want to be overly-paranoid but I also don't want to be naive. I'm a fairly large guy so perhaps that helps, but any tips? Or am I being nervous for nothing?
Absolutely normal to make sure you're not being totally oblivious on your phone and the like, just like basically anywhere else. If you're going to be working in the same few places there's probably gonna be some guys outside you should say hi to if you're going to be working in close proximity. Vest/hardhat and clipboard help, but obviously not required if that's not part of your job.
Generally people don't want issues.

probably close 95 at the Walt - I-676 and have people either take NJ-676 to Ben Franklin or 76 to the Vine
EDIT. since some people don't understand basic highway construction... This would be overnight only.

Reply to comment by oliver_babish in Is germantown friends school as good as they say? by snooloosey
The basic version is lower enrollment jeopardizes a school when existing. Look at Germantown High and the excuses for why they closed it.

Do you have a link to the full 900 cities?
It does seem like there is bias toward certain nations and regions given the top 30.
They are also an asset manager so not surprising the top cities for asset management are on the list

Reply to comment by DonQOnIce in Pro-tip - currently there are easily found amtrak one way fares to DC and NYC from 30th Street for $10 in April and May by RoughRhinos
I go to NY once a month at similar times. That is the busiest time, so you have to book further ahead to get the lower fares. Once those $19 fares are sold out, they don’t come back because they are nonrefundable. I try to book at least 2 months ahead for the winter and 3 months ahead for summer to ensure I get the cheapest tickets. If there’s a holiday, you need to book even further ahead.
