Hands down the worst part is the on-ramp to 95 south from York street. It’s almost impossible to accept that it was designed by a professional and is so fucking dangerous that I take Delaware to spring garden when taking the Ben to jersey or 676 out west,.

Probably because the homeowners tried to clean up the mess.

They’re probably a LLC that’ll just fold at the first sign of trouble and nobody will be held accountable.

It’s just my opinion that we’re seeing happening now will come to be known as the beginning of a period of decline for Philly. A completely dysfunctional state government has led to a school system that’s in shambles and unable to find and pay the teachers they need. An absent police force that only cares about collecting a paycheck and squeezing as much money from the city budget as possible. A city where nearly a quarter live in poverty (350,000+ people) being crushed by raising inflation, no jobs, and no way out. Combine this struggle with a state that has awful social services and a police force that doesn’t give a shit and you have a recipe for disaster. People are going to get fed up and a lot of those that are able to leave will and things will get worse for those that stay, creating a negative feedback loop that drives more people away. I just fell that economic growth and investment are lagging behind the situation on the ground and it’ll take a couple of years before we see the impacts there. It’s not too late to right the ship, but that needs to start with cops doing their jobs and doing them right.

I feel like an implosion is much more likely and actually already underway. Retail stores will keep closing, businesses will start pulling out of center city and residents will move away. White flight part 2 has been happening.

Wouldn’t the cops have to do their jobs for this to matter?

How many of these stupid posts are we going to have to see? Your sankey is no more interesting or “beautiful” than the last 1000.
