You are comparing them in response to my comment, implying that I’m saying they’re the same. And let’s not forget the literal first thing you said on this thread.
“Flint Michigan managed.”
Be best.

Sorta what I expected to be the answer about traffic. Like yeah Philly has 3x the people of ATL but also Atlanta is a wayyyyyyy more car dependent city than Philly. MARTA is a complete joke haha
Thanks for the insight!

Be better.

I rent in one of the new buildings nearby and I don't hate it. It's definitely on the bleeding edge of gentrification--lots of folks in their 20s walking dogs, relatively quiet at night, but someone's busted my car window twice in less than six months and there's broken tempered glass all over the road. If you have a car and paying for parking is an option for you, consider it.
There's a new food hall down 31st and a handful of restaurants and shops on Girard, and you could walk to the art museum and definitely Fairmount Park, but it's kind of a pain in the ass to get to other neighborhoods via public transportation. It's a relatively easy trip to the Amtrak station via car, though.
Is quiet something you want? Really depends on what you're after, whether it's recommended or not. I'll say I'm going to keep an eye on apartment listings for when my lease is up but I wouldn't be heartbroken to sign for another year here.

Well, if we didn't have these regulations, the hospital will totally 100% pass on the savings to you! That's how capitalism works, duh! /s if that was needed

My 2-bedroom apartment in Ardsley (Glenside) should be getting posted soon. We have a friend who is potentially moving in but if he doesn't work out, I can try and send the link once it's posted. We pay $1250 but I think the rent is going up a bit. It's a 5-min walk to the train and a 5-minute drive to Glenside station, which has two trains. Also very close to Jenkintown station, which has 3 trains. It'd be available in June.

“They also couldn't just literally go to West Philly and drink tap water normally”
Be best.

Sounds like communism, imagine how much more profitable the hospitals could be without stupid useless regulations like this

At no point did I say it was a similar situation but reading is hard

Lived in ATL for two years; driving isn’t as bad in Philly. There are people who drive maniacally at times, but it’s not as frightening as 75/85. I also don’t need to drive anywhere near as much in Philly (but I live within the city, so suburbs are a different story).

You can cook pretty much anything in stock vs water
You can buy stock.

My tap made coffee from the north east side tasted suspect today. Could be psychosomatic but I also drink the similar coffee most daily

Yea I guess just having him being the elected leader of a top US city and heritage site is mind blowing.

my guess is the water supply remains drinkable and they don't issue an alert to stop using it

Kennedy, what a huge disappointment. He should be ashamed.

he said this july 8th- “I’m waiting for something bad to happen all the time. I’ll be happy when I’m not here, when I’m not mayor, and I can enjoy some stuff”
after the PPD so obviously planted a bullet inside one of their cloth caps.
it is fucking shameful this happened friday afternoon, and nobody in any official capacity said anything until sunday afternoon. if you don't want to do your job, leave your job. don't let a million people drink poisoned water because you want to take the weekend off.

I used to go to ATL regularly for work and omg the traffic 😂 we have that here but also have better option. BC is a nice area, would suggest living near work out there for a reasonable commute and less daily stress. There is a train line that’s between 20-40 mins that does BC to CC which is a nice option to have for day in city or going to a show, etc. And an Uber back out later in evening wouldn’t be a bank breaker.
