come on. They recovered a gun, the entire incident is on film from every possible perspective, and there are dozens of uninvolved witnesses. This dude is pleading guilty and getting decades upstate.

This kind of reflexive, unthinking negativity is so counterproductive. We will never fix the issues in this city if the base-level discourse is this detached from reality. I promise you, you can still criticize Krasner plenty without making up things to get mad about. (edited grammar)

I’m sure the ghosts who currently occupy these housing units (?) would be very glad that you are voicing for them.

> The developer has agreed to limit the size of trucks allowed to make deliveries on 19th and to provide a space in the underground parking garage for those deliveries.

One of the things people in opposition to road diets often cite is “what about the delivery trucks?!” This part of the article is a good reminder that not everything has to be delivered via 18 wheeler (I mean it’s literally impossible in many older European cities), and, in fact, the city and other areas would be better off if we didn’t have giant trucks traversing our streets.

Gonna make a bet that you’d meet heavy resistance from suburban drivers along City Avenue if you tried to take a lane or two for mass transit. Sounds like a great idea though.

For fact base news any of the local major network affiliates. For op ed and investigative reporting I would say WHYY. Some of the more topic specific sources like Philadelphia Business journal are also good.

I wonder if a boulevard EL might be cheaper. Maybe even connect it to MFL at Oxford circle.

Or tear up the medians in the boulevard and do protected surface rail/trolleys right down the medians
