“I’m just concerned about the density, and I’m really concerned about the parking,” Council President Darrell Clarke said Tuesday morning, addressing Planning Commission director Gary Jastrzab during budget hearings. “It’s a real issue. Everybody’s not going to ride the train, everybody’s not going to take public transit. This is Philadelphia. People drive to the corner store. This is what we do.”

This is how they think and I agree with you it’s frustrating.

Clarke's not wrong about the behavior, but it's councils job to have vision and move the city forward not just acquiesce. Definitely frustrating.
