There are a lot of things the city and mayor can’t or are very hard to do (logistically, resources, etc). Cracking down on blocking crosswalks and parking in the sidewalk are not one of them

I’m sorry to hear that. Not sure how long you have been a doc. Have you read white cost investor?

Yes, in this case it is both. It is a hard grueling job (especially the training)— i’m in a family of doctors— but for most they end up very well paid.

I’m unclear about the down votes. These wages are publicly available in US labor reports and you can see that they are in the top 1% (even among some of the lower paid specialist). This is just a fact. Now, if you think they are too high, too low, or just right— that can be debated.

It’s more than 2x in the US compared to the UL and Germany. Debt from school accounts for some but not all the difference. This has been explored extensively and it is widely accepted that in the US physician salaries, on average, are profligate.

There is certainly hard-work and debt that is put into it but most doctors in the US are part of the top 1% in terms of wealth. They are compensated very well. Medicine pays much more in the US than comparable European countries.

Report it. License plates are the property of the state.

In the report they show “traffic volume” and it appears that it hasn’t really changed l, if anything there might be a increase. So the same amount of traffic (or more!) and less accidents.

These are pretty common in other cities too. Not unique to Philly. Most people aren’t driving recklessly but for those that do automating enforcement through cameras has shown to be effective deterrence.

Hey, there are data that provides evidence that it works and people on this thread still think it doesn’t because of antidotes or mental models.

So there are the same amount or more collisions than before but people aren’t reporting them?

I have seen that too but there are a lot less crashes so I think we have to assume the speed cameras are working and that the experience of a few people is not representative of what is happening on a larger scale.

I don’t disagree but the speed cameras are reducing crashes on a road that has killed people. It is a solution that is actually working. Getting the DA and police to change… good luck!

That might be the case but the data shows that crashes are down so the phenomenon you are seeing either isn’t happening that often or isn’t causing crashes.

Apparently the grocery business is partially challenging in Philly because of the Tex structure. If that is true seems like and easy win for the new mayor
