Like how "begging the question" has evolved past its actual intended usage and has come to mean "raising the question." Which, you know, is natural evolution of language but I also kind of hate it because "begging the question" is specific rhetorical device that can be used pretty deceptively, and I think we still need a name that matches what is actually happening, because the original meaning of the phrase is still very much relevant.

There isn't just "no diversity and bad food", there aren't any jobs either, and there is an opiate problem that blows philly outta the water (people just don't tend to believe that because the population density is so much less and they don't round up users into a big open air market like they do in philly. But please understand your kids are no safer there). I got out of that area 18 years ago and even with all of Philly's problems I would never, ever go back.
