We need more apartments in the poor neighborhoods like Broad and Erie, or Erie and Torresdale. Those would be below $2000.

Sigh it sucks Philly is struggling so much with this small stuff. With all the stealing and dirtiness of the city.

Sadly it's being abused for nimbys. I love historic parking lots and parking garages. SO MUCH HISTORY!

Here is a crazy idea, we get all the desk cops to go on patrol around the city and subways.

I agree, I think sports betting is fine to do at some place that allows you to bet in some location. Mobile sports betting are stupid dangerous and those sports betting apps lobbied hard to keep it on the phone

I recently driven/bike down Delaware Ave by spring garden and the infill is amazing. Imagine doing that for the RBS line.

Well the current alignment drops you nowhere close to LM and there are no sidewalks in KOP in the industry district where they plan to terminate the line. I do believe we need the KOP line but this alignment ain't good.

Logic, highways are not going away. But the US in general is refusing to build new highways. So only logic is expand the existing ones.
But we can expand transit for less space than a 4 lane highway.
Please insert urbanism bad comment here

Especially for the Roosevelt Blvd. Upzoing those parking lots is going to change the landscape of the blvd for the better

Reply to Hot take: bus rapid transit on the boulevard would be better than a subway by avo_cado
The cheaper part is a bit of a stretch. It's cheap sure but not by much. Good luck finding more bus operators. Metro skips all of those problems of traffic and waiting at traffic lights. The Boulevard will have buses on them regardless if the the subway is built. I very much disagree with this. A bus can move 60-80 people on a long bus while a metro can move 300+ plus.
