I hate car culture and much of what you say is correct but unfortunately violent acts on the train (and the perception they cause) have nothing to do with car culture. They will drive (no pun intended) even the most committed urbanite back to cars or worse, the suburbs. The only thing that connects this to car culture is the fact that Septa is not adequately funded.

So who is the one letting people idle on the freeway ramp at the airport?

The good news is the PPA is now out of GOP hands. Unclear if it means it could go back to city control, but certainly moving in the right direction.

You sound smart. Most people are not. That's the problem.

Principal tragedy here is the wasted EMT resources and the fear this puts into ordinary people. I'm numb to the rest of it at this point.

You know, ticketing and towing cars that park on the sidewalks would raise about $21M in a week... I exaggerate, but still...

Great! It's a rather crappy block so might as well use it for airbnb peeps. Major improvement over the current situation.

Because they are morons and they enjoy running their engines breathing fumes then darting into traffic to experience the high risk fun of near collisions. Not sarcasm.

Because, in theory, it's a good idea. But no one enforces the parking situation on the ramp.
