Too far man

What’s the address for those who get the paywall

OP’s username is so fitting

Interestingly, the people on my block that do this are all young w out of state plates

Always forget about CLIP. Thanks!

Clarke. I’ll reach out to his office. Ty!

Oh fuck ya

Isn’t this sort of what the Netter Center already does?

Your point could also be about Steve Keeley too

I have friends who bought a house there and they absolutely love it. Couple in their 30s without kids, but they’re right by the memorial park which has activities for kids throughout the year (and IMO the most underrated views in the area). One of them walks to SEPTA in Norristown to get to work, the other drives to their work in KOP. Everything they need and want is close by. Honestly, if I were to move to the burbs I’d look there

Yes, according to the byline on the article

Ya honestly the whole thing was infuriating. Like I had to go take a walk around the block to cool down after I left. It was an hour and 15 minutes of PPD leadership saying “it’s not our fault your lives are like this. It’s too hard to police now bc you all take videos of us and Krasner. If you want to feel safer, write to your council person to demand more money for the PPD.” Fortunately, some guy called them out for voting for FOP leadership that created and allowed the sick leave scheme so it wasn’t all “us police are so helpless, woah is us”

Sorry — I got this wrong (duh). I meant the white safety cameras 29th and 27th to keep an eye on those corners for public safety, not traffic

I’ve never quite understood why Kelly and Lincoln Drives don’t at least have speed bumps. I’ve always assumed it’s a maintenance/snow removal thing

FWIW, at the Fairmount community meeting with police last night the PPD put this one on the DA (weird) and said they’re hoping Krasner’s task force will deter carjacking — whatever that means

There was a meeting with police in fairmount last night and a resident brought up this issue of speeding on Kelly Drive, and the police said exactly that: email and call Darrell Clark’s office about it and don’t stop until the cameras go up. I guess that’s how cameras were finally installed along Girard Ave in Brewerytown

(FWIW, I don’t really believe the police, but clearly the squeaky wheel gets the grease in Philly)

FWIW, Kensington Ave was absolutely immaculate from Allegheny to Berks today at around 2:30 pm when I drove down it for a work appointment. I’d never even seen my own block that clean — it was remarkable

Binge listened to WHYY’s Stop and Frisk podcast yesterday. I recommend it. The episode centering the police perspective had me screaming at the sky with frustration and IMO totally reinforced the sentiment that the FOP and police don’t give a shit about making the lives of anyone in Philly but themselves any better

Tbh, I’m surprised Girard Ave in Brewerytown doesn’t have at least one dot w the stuff that happens at 29th
