Center city is rapidly growing but north, west, and some parts of south Philly are shrinking. we need to build more but we shouldn’t forget transit and infrastructure to neglected areas.

My partner’s flight was delayed landing at PHL because of Air Force One; I think Biden might be in town.

Saw the kid's post on fb after it got stolen, he had canceled the insurance on the bike too so he's totally SOL. Sucks

Agreed; I have neighbors that do this commute. Route 476 is fast and stressful; route 76 is distressingly slow and more stressful. Even more insane, I have neighbors that commute into Manhattan, yuck.

That would be more of a Shelbyville idea.

That is just insane to me. Edit: people commuting daily to Philly from LV.

Reply to comment by RustedRelics in 47-story apartment building is planned above CVS store at 19th and Chestnut by ColdJay64
Philly only has a less than ~5% vacancy rate on apartments. That's so low that the small amount of incoming supply isn't enough to have any meaningful impact on decreasing rates.
The answer to that is that we need to build even more of everything to account for all the demand. The clowns saying we shouldn't build new housing are the same people who bitch about how expensive rent is. They're too dumb to connect the lack for supply with the incoming population, and the subsequent increase in rent.

Ahh, so red paint. We see how that works elsewhere in the city.

Most people working on city ave seem to commute in from Lansdale, from some god forsaken reason.

I hear them in NW but they never visit my street! It's one the weird "the street is two way but so narrow people have to take turns" streets. I want a cone so bad I have to go to Rita's.

Wow this is weird. Usually they wait until a legal Process of some sort, like Nova.

As annoying and sometimes dangerous as they are, it is funny to call them marauders. Modern day Mongolian hordes washing down Broad Street. Nothing is left after they pass just desolation
