What does investment and development in areas like that look like? Because that sounds like gentrification which pushes people out because the people living there probably won't get "better jobs", at best there might be more local jobs - but I don't think there is a general lack of jobs in the city overall, menial or otherwise. Fundamentally.... Im coarse and would rather see the development and remove the blight and hope the people either find a better job or a new place to live.

Don't be fooled Jimmy, if a goose got the chance it'd eat you and everyone you cared about.

I don't get your point. I wasn't against expanding infra. I was against setting it up so you both can't use a car and can't commute to within city limits.

Good. A building that looks like Philly. Not those cheap ass siding slab sided crap they're throwing up along the river and on wash and broad.

I mean if we had a solid and well connected subway that ran every 15min it'd be a different discussion....

I'd have to sell my home if 95 was kneecapped more. Or sell the business. I like living in south Philly, I don't want to live where our business has been for twenty years in ne. But hey.... Fuck me right?

Maybe if our subways and the el weren't shit and piss piles, ran more frequently, and ran to further locations, we wouldn't need a fucking car as much in this city. If I took the train to work it'd have to be regional rail - despite still being in the city. I'd get about a mile and change from work - and easy bike ride..... But no sidewalks lna death defying road to bike on. So I live somewhere with parking and reverse commute every day.

Safety and cleanliness are gentrification, which is bad for the community since.... I guess rental and home prices will go up.

not all grift - some business did use it and did need it to maintain staffing levels without doing furloughs or layoffs, keeping the burden away from the swamped unemployment system. that said... yeah, poorly administered.

I go the other way and it fucking sucks. Especially with the ever under construction 95. Once I'm in the city I can park and walk or bike. But I can't reasonably get to work otherwise.

People still drive like idiots on Washington and there are several sections with speed tables. The number of people that want to hit terminal velocity before jamming their brakes on makes me want to open a brake shop in Philly.

It's not capitalism's fault that there's a cultural anti-education mindset, Uncle Tom, etc. This mindset greatly reduces the opportunities afforded to you when you become an adult. Illegal activities are, in and of themselves, a form of capitalism........ and will never be less profitable than actually abiding by the laws of society - at least in the short term. Capital, social, commune, or otherwise... Crime is hard to beat for short term gain.
If Nicetown/K&A/Germantown, etc, ever become like Passyunk - to attract people from around the city.... what percentage of the current residents do you think would be able to afford to remain?
