Reply to comment by Chimpskibot in [Inquirer] Census data shows Philadelphia population drop in 2022 by _crapitalism
Yeah, we're at something like half the density of back then. I don't remember the figures, but when I looked them up 5 or 6 years back, I was pretty shocked.
Think about it. Some of those old brown stones have one family living in them. If it's a house with a worker door, then there were servants living in the basement, and the family above. Granted, we don't need to account for stables anymore, but still people want more space to live these days.

I'd think most people, after the last few years, are just sick of corruption and will just stay away from anything that smells of that. Maybe I have too much hope in humanity. Also, not sure where "White liberals are trying to kill off a Black man's candidacy" is coming from?

First, yes. Someone's job doesn't make them a bad person.
Secondly, porn stars and drag queens aren't equivalent at all. Do you know what you're arguing against? Have you ever been to a drag show?

That's republican 'small' government for ya. The only good government is the one that they agree with, if they don't then it's personal rights, unless they disagree with that too.
Basically, they were all the kid that took their ball and went home when they were losing. I'd call it hypocrisy if they ever actually stood one way or the other, lol.

You cherry picked one heck of a quote there... I can do that too
>First, and perhaps most important, nearly all empirical studies find little to no tangible impacts of sports teams and facilities on local economic activity, and the level of venue subsidies typically provided far exceeds any observed economic benefits
This study mainly looks at the question of "is it good for government to subsidize the stadium". That isn't the question here though. Hence why your quote is followed by: > Overall, consensus findings from economic research demonstrate that public subsidies to fund sports stadiums and arenas likely do not pass a cost-benefit test.
Another fun quote out of context: > economic research clearly identifies evidence of important intangible social benefits from hosting sports activities, which indicates that sports teams do produce positive spillovers through quality-of-life amenities, consumer surplus, and community pride benefits in some circumstances

my family had been there for 250 years, I've moved to Philly. Just isn't a friendly area for someone like myself, and rather boring. So much more to do in Philly, just not as much easy access to hiking.

They tend to migrate inland to the dumps during the winter, go back to the shore during the summer. At least that's what I've tended to notice with the ones near the garbage dump I grew up near.
Some might stay year round both places, but there's an increase / decrease cycle based on season.

Honestly, that was the best part of the CCC program 80 years ago. It took disaffected youth, taught them building skills, and intermixed them between city and rural.
We could probably use some of that these days.

Lebanon had a KKK march down Cumberland St in 2000. It sure doesn't feel like it's gotten better since.

From amount of time I was told 'reader no work, you pay cash' and was driven to an ATM instead of my home, I have no sympathy for these guys. They would stop, ask where I live, and then drive away when I said 'East Falls' at the time.
Uber isn't better, agree fuck VCs, but they guys has something coming. I'm sure there's good one caught in the wash, and that sucks, but I ain't shedding a tear.

You literally voted for a president that bragged about grabbing women by the pussy. Fuck off trying to say anything about dems being sexual deviants. Dems might not have a clean house, and there's definitely smoke, but your house is on fire my friend.

Yes, both parties are exactly the same, right?
Because, if this was republicans, nothing would have been done and no one would have stepped down. Only reason this will continue to broil is because he stepped down, that's where Dems go wrong, they admit wrong doing. Sometimes it does take a bit to get them there though. Never admit anything, the electorate has proven time and time again they don't care.
