Philly is a county! We all call it a city but I reality it’s a county. It massive 143 square miles. For perspective RI is 1214 square miles. And there are blocks upon blocks in the north, west and south west that most people would never go to or drive through. It has also been losing population since the beginning of the 20th century. You just can’t compare it to anything on the east coast besides Baltimore.

RISD is safe. I imagine y’all be getting housing through a scholarship, If you are worried about affordable housing. Because that school is crazy expensive. But yes housing in that area is about as high as it gets in the city.

It’s the new traffic pattern. Hopefully it ends soon. I generally get off at union now and make my way to broadway and get in 95n there
