I'm from the Philly area. Moved to Pittsburgh over twenty years ago. Would move back to Philadelphia in a minute if the job market for what I do didn't suck in Philly.

Philly is rough but unless you're hanging out in parts of North or West it's not that bad. Just need to spend time with people who've been around for a minute and don't spend all day on the next door app, they're not as on edge.

I'm more stressed about the housing costs in Philly, montco and delco.

I mean if you're being purposefully obtuse that's an interpretation you can go with.

The bigger issue is crime is attached to poverty. Neighborhoods in North and West are poorer and higher crime.

But hey if you were scared of being in the city it's good you got out. It's not for everyone.
