If you're looking in Brewerytown I would rent first to see if you like it before you go and buy anything. It's "gentrifying" but still very rough around the edges. Crime is an issue and the area is resource starved - inconsistent trash pickup, no post office, lousy schools (if that matters), limited public trans

My wife and I moved there with the intention of buying and rented for 5 years. We watched the value disappear as prices rose and ended up moving after generally hating our experience in the neighborhood. So that would be my recommendation, try it before you buy it

Philadelphians: The wealthy suburbs profit off their proximity to the city but disproportionately hoard money and state resources, leaving the city high and dry

also Philadelphians: how dare you rich snobby suburbanites donate to Philadelphia non profits?!?

Make it make sense

Montco and over a decade in the city, none of which was spent in college. Nice guess tho

Wealthy Suburbanites: The city is a crime infested hellscape I avoid at all costs

also Wealthy Suburbanites: Cash bail is discriminatory and infringes on the civil rights of low income minorities. I will donate to fight this injustice so those accused of crimes can walk free until their day of court

Make it make sense

You know what isn't popular among wealthy boomer suburbanites? Black criminals

Still not buying this narrative

Okay? Not sure how that ties the donations to wealthy suburbanites. Unless that's not the point you're trying to make

Well that certainly is a take

I'd be fairly surprised if wealthy suburbanites are donating to inner city black charities, especially this one

Or close the mf window haha

Oh well yeah that'll probably do it. Fortunately the filters are fairly cheap

December as in 2 months ago? That's...way too soon for your filter to be clogged

To be fair I also struggle working with my colleagues who refuse to do their fucking jobs
