IMHO we gotta take zoning away from city council. They have too much individual influence so it's all they think about. So not only does development get all fucky, but they stop trying to solve other problems because they're busy playing with development in their district.

lol, last month was my first experience voting in Philly after moving here. I realize city council isn't congress, but I was still surprised most of the folks running for city council listed facebook as their campaign page and clearly spent zero time making it...respectable.
