Reply to comment by ReturnedFromExile in Black clergy and businesspeople support Sixers arena proposal by dc122186

The area is already congested as it is. Why add something that's going to cause more harm than good?

I don’t think CC is congested at 7-10pm on most weeknights?

It's not congested at all out side of rush hour and has plenty of room to grow, this is a dumb take.

Screw it. Since the whole entire world going to shit. Screw the feelings of long residents of Chinatown. Lets just go full blown nuts! Build the damn arena.

Damn if you do, screwed if you don't.

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.

I hope the idea is that this would force more ppl to take public trans which would encourage septa to up its game.

Septa needs to up its game for more people to take transit. It will not happen the other way around since people with $ and cars have other options.
