Reply to comment by gvillepa in Im French and I would like to move to the United States ( Pennsylvania ) by Hanaaaah

I know its been bad lol. The ATVs and all lol.

But generally speaking I wouldn't feel unsafe in Center City/University City/Northeast Philly/Fishtown

Yeah seriously, stick around Drexel and Penn and you’ll be fine, especially if you use the shuttle services and the public safety escorts.

Haha. Philly is trash. Read your comment out loud. A place is not safe if it requires all these precautions in order to stay safe. People here are in denial. Philly is trash compared to what it was even 5 years ago compared to 15 years ago.

Philly is on pace to achieve last year's record of 562 homicides with over 430 so far in 2022.

I feel safer in Philly than I do being followed by some creepy white guys in some attention-seeking pick-up truck out in the middle of nowhere PA, I’ll tell you that much.

You're right. I prefer law and order but typical Philly folks want to pretend it's a great place. So many other cities in the US are so much cleaner, safer, and better to live and visit. Simple fact.
