Most of you have no idea how to address the violence plaguing this city. You automatically assume displacing vast portions of the population will make crime disappear. Building new apartments only those with a lot of money can afford does NOTHING to address the root causes of these problems. In fact, it does the exact opposite. How can you call it investing in a neighborhood or bringing a neighborhood up when you don’t include those who live there? For too long many have turned a blind eye to this and we are reaping some of the results. Income inequality is a huge problem that only exacerbates the issue. Building a new Starbucks, a pet daycare and luxury apartments does NOTHING to stop the violence.

Yet when people from the community try to offer advice and their insight on what can and does work, the same idiots screaming about NIMBY’s don’t want to listen.

Hmm but displacing people by pushing them out is not the answer. There needs to be more housing for those who aren’t wealthy in this city as well as actual investment in the neighborhoods. That means investing in the people that live there. Putting up brand new condos across the street from someone living in poverty only encourages crime.

Still very dangerous chemicals to ingest.

Yeah don’t confront a random stranger over littering.

Yeah had to bug them for several days to clean up my block which was covered in trash AFTER the trash men came threw and seemingly tossed ripped trash bags around without caring about the mess they were making.

Or is it…?

The disgusting racists in this subreddit make me sick.

Who said anything about a phone? The person I was responding to just said they live across the street from there. Smarten up dummy

He can take my advice or not I really don’t give a fuck, but it’s not smart regardless of how many windows can see that. People like that get robbed and then wonder how they were a target 🤷🏾‍♂️

Not smart letting people know where you live

Yes but whose populist style did Trump parrot for himself? Bernie. Bernie was a better candidate against Trump when the Dems ran Clinton. He was a better candidate against Trump when the Dems ran Biden. Running Biden again will be disastrous.

Well the polling numbers at the time would’ve proven you wrong. And that’s how I felt at the time and still feel, there’s nothing alternate about my feelings.

Yes I thought that was a mistake too. The election was too close for comfort. Bernie was a better choice.

Oh yeah I definitely know and have face palmed every time the establishment democrats go with their own, corporate pick. They’re looking to be making the same mistake if Biden runs again.

Bernie was right

😂😂😂 that’s so Philly

And a giant sign that says “Free Lunch” with an arrow pointing towards the sandwich.

Yeah it’s all pretty vague

Kensington isn’t a north Philly neighborhood

Obviously a trap

🦅🦅🦅 😂😂😂take that New Yorkers!

You mean cobblestones? Yeah they suck to drive over

I wish a lot of gentrifiers would move back to the suburbs personally

That’s not fair to people who were born and raised in those neighborhoods, of course they should be proud. Can you blame them for being annoyed when scores of new people move into their neighborhoods and cause traffic and parking to get worse?

Because of all the new construction, it wasn’t like that before.
