Low information voters certainly seem to like her and other dipshits elected to the government that's for sure.

This sounds as dumb as the shit Trump says, she's a clown of the highest order.

Cars parked illegally should be automatically towed, it's a blight on the city that imposes on everyone else all so that one asshole didn't have to walk more than a block.

Your daily reminder that Helen Gym is a fucking clown, and in no way should be allowed to be mayor of the city.

Ya, I don't bike on sidewalks in the city, people are actually walking on them.

I actually just don't bike all that much at all anymore, since the lock downs the drivers have gotten even worse and I just don't feel safe biking in the city anymore.

I understand where you're coming from now, and I agree, we'd be better off without the window dressing of OTIS. All they do currently is give cover for our shitty elected officials to continue doing the same bullshit they've always done with our dangerous street design.

My hot take is that a 14 year old armed car jacker is in fact a danger to society, and should be sent to juvenile prison. They should not be allowed to continue terrorizing and attacking members of society solely because of their age.

Regardless the people involved in car jackings do tend to be older than 14.

However you can count on winning with a very thin percentage win since we don't have ranked choice voting, and the more people on the ballot the fewer voters you actually need to win a majority.

Tint over certain percentages is in fact illegal in Pennsylvania, as are reflecting tints.

The hero we need, give that man tickets to the super bowl.

It's getting completely out of control because there are zero consequences for doing it.

The cops aren't likely to arrest for it, and on the off chance they do catch the car jacker the DA lets them off on reduced charges; so they're back out in the street doing it again within a few days.

OTIS can literally do nothing without district councilman explicitly approving the street design.

Which in practice makes them a total waste of time and tax payer money because of council interference in street engineering designs.

Same goes for multiple city departments, which might as well be scraped because council members block any changes or improvements from happening so as to hold the city back and protect thier elected positions.

These deaths fall entirely on negligence of City Council members actively blocking OTIS from redesigning the streets because God forbid a driver be inconvenced for even a second. Along with our drunk oaf of a mayor and incompetent and lazy police department who are never held to account for not doing thier jobs.

I see more cars blowing stop signs and red lights than bikes literally everyday.

Most of the bike lanes in this city are so bad they might as well not exist in practice.

I find biking in the suburbs to actually be safer most of the time because the streets are so wide cars pass you with enough space.

Drivers are also held to a higher degree of accountability in burbs since the cops there actually enforce traffic laws.

Worst case you can bike on the sidewalks and use them as a properly designed separated bike lane, because no fat ass in the suburbs walks, so they're always empty.

A helmet isn't going to help you when a speeding 5ton SUV slams into you.

The lack of bolards is on city council not the PPA, but otherwise agree parking in the bike lanes should result in an automatic tow.

I think you missed the single tax aspect. Under such a system your income would not be taxed.

A stadium in the city?! What devilry is this?

Sadly I only just saw this pop up on my feed, thanks for doing the AMA, and I will listen to your show tomorrow.

If you're still answering questions, will you be covering other statues/ monuments in the city on the future, such as the fellows around city hall, or a summary of all the Franklin statues throughout the city?

Mods please sticky the AMA threads in future so we all see them in time.

The violence prevention grants to non-profits with zero oversight is the new envelope full of cash corruption Philly politics is known for. The lack of oversight is intentional, it's not a fluke.

Money should not be sent to non profits to provide government services. If the government is going to run a program it should be through the city government, and subject to oversight and audits.

Ya you'd think directing that energy into a more traditional sport like football, basketball, basketball, soccer, etc, would be a better idea.

It's pretty crazy if you Google a map of buried streams in the city.

I heard there was a movement among cites to daylight these streams again, probably not a bad idea to start considering here.

Bail is not dropping charges

Great endorsement, Street was broadly popular in the city despite his corruption. He also implemented the neighborhood improvement program which was and still is a broadly popular program with residents who remember it.

This also helps her get name recognition in communities she has weak recognition in, and access to the political network Street built up in North Philly.

If she can get Nutter that will do the same thing to boost her in West Philly.
