>make byways that are buses only
Wait I thought that's what bus rapid transit IS?

Has gentrification caused the price of groceries and all other products to go up as well? Housing has been hit much harder, but It’s just inflation.

For real, the stretch of roosevelt near Southampton doesn’t even have side walks

I guess it's just gentrification... what can you do but move?

She owns a triplex, lives in one and rents the other two out as a short term Airbnb rental.
Renting out your home when you're out on vacation or travelling for work? Not a business. Renting out something you own that you bought strictly to rent out and make money off of? Sure as shit sounds like a business to me.

Mantua - it's not a bad neighborhood but it's definitely not a $2000 neighborhood.

Totally agree, especially because congestion along City Ave is nightmarish, and there's just no reason for the number of single-occupant cars on that stretch. I'd also like it if lines like the G (or even the 10) had some stops on the suburban side of City Ave.

You are aware that sometimes they don’t pick up in this city, right?😊

Bus lanes and TSP is a good interim solution that they should've implemented years ago. It's a shit long term solution. The speed, capacity, and convenience of a subway far outweighs the benefits of B"R"T.

Something like that isn’t totally out of the picture but I agree that there should be more frequent service for neighborhoods outside center city in the regional rail in place of something like the BSL

I don’t see a pool or a state of the art fitness center and a private dog park listed. I’m gonna need those added before I sign this lease

Yr getting down voted by ppl who i am sure consider it assault to be looked at by some who they think is poor, i can only assume.
Septa is in a sad state, lotta inequality and hopelessness and drug use in this city, too many guns, but i feel like there has been a serious uptick in paranoia fed by citizens app type shit in recent years and it is doing very serious damage to the social fabric....anyways, always happy to see people pointing that out. Cheers.
