I was born and raised here, k-12 public ed, community college, I’m Philly made man, can’t say the same about you though 😂 you yimbys love to step on other peoples toes with no concern of the impact you cause on communities of color. Everything in the name of ‘revitalization’ but at the expense of Black people’s quality of life. No surprise you support Rebecca either, considering you have zero concerns for the people opposing 76ers market East in Chinatown and adjacent communities.

I've lived here longer than you've likely been alive, and 100% longer than when you moved here from the suburbs on your parents dime.
But do please keep beclowning yourself by saying North Philly is as transit accessible as the litteral hub of every major line in the city, then claiming you know what all Philadelphians actually want.

Chinatown has been slowly bulldozing itself to make more parking lots for years, it beyond ironic to complain about congestion in center city to "protect" a neighborhood that has been making more parking spaces by ripping down old buildings for years.
Then pointing to a building that is replacing a dying mall on Market St next to the convention center, on top of a train station, and say that's the problem with a straight face.

😂 you’re so out of touch with actual Philadelphians it’s hilarious. Did you move here last year or before the pandemic bro?

North Philly doesn't have the same level of tranist access as Market East, not even close. Trying to pretend it does is stupid.
East Market has been languishing for decades, an arena coming in on top of a major tansit hub will absolutely help drive further investment down East Market.
You're trying to pretend that for some unspecified reasons blocking development will also magically drive development and build up Market East, despite that plan not working out for decades.
I get your a nimby and the idea of center city growing upsets you, but you're wrong for all the usual reasons that nimbys are.
The arena replacing a dying mall on Market Street, right next to the convention center and Reading Terminal will be good for the city.

When they replace the meter it's just the radio not the actual part that water goes through. My meter seemed slow/sticky both before and after the upgrade.

I feel like “don’t build things that are wildly unpopular with the residents” is a good policy for a city to have in general, but that has not stopped most cities unfortunately
