Parking should reflect actual value of the service and space, it should not be free or subsidized by zoning ordnance.

I don't believe it, pictures or it didn't happen.

Let's hope he's one of the first to go.

We've known online only cyber-schools were bullshit for years. We knew they were shit prior to the 2020 lockdowns, and we especially know they're shit now.

It's just another classic conservative tactic to take public funds and pocket them at the expense of society.

Sure you did.

Yet again proving that the Republicans have zero interest in going after molester priests, and all their talk about "groomers" are just bullshit attacks against gay people that they can longer use thier preferred slurs for.

It usually is.

>With the city’s announcement, immigrant communities around Philadelphia may wonder how the designation will actually affect them. Eusebio said that most immediately, it sets a precedent.

So nothing, it does nothing other than allow city officials in positions that really shouldn't even exist to pat themselves on the back, and for this organization to get paid with tax payer money to hand a meaningless label to useless city staffers.

>The Welcoming certification must be renewed after three years through the same process, which is particularly notable with a new incoming mayoral administration.

>Whichever candidate ultimately wins this year’s race will have to make a similar commitment towards immigrant support and inclusion, otherwise it will be clear that the cause is not a priority for them.

>“When there are changes in mayor administrations and city leadership ... having an official designation of certification and a need to re-certify holds everyone accountable,” Eusebio said.

What a joke, this is clearly a racket organization, the certificate is just a receipt for taking city money, and means nothing.

The article should have asked how much money city officials set on fire for this meaningless bullshit.

I wish them luck with that, Penn is famously anti union and has a strong and effective management structure at keeping them out or otherwise knee capping them.

What a dumb take.

Go get treatment in a 100 plus year old building that's falling apart and with poorly retrofitted updates that frequently break then.

New infrastructure for better healthcare outcomes is a good thing.

Part of the problem is that judges have to weigh the avaliable space in prisons to comply with court orders about prison crowding.

The way we elect judges isn't good, and it results in people who should not be on the bench making terrible decisions, however it's also not entirely the fault of judges when bad outcomes happen due lack of available prison space.

Because it is.

The PPD is a joke, law enforcement on the streets doesn't exist, and everyone knows it.

Well statistically they can come in and get away with it. The PPD clearance rate and DA prosecution rates are a joke.

We haven't carried out the death penalty in the state since 1999 with Gary Heidnik being the last person put to death in the state after he waved his appeals and requested the execution be carried out.

It's a massive financial drain on the state to keep it on the books, it doesn't deter crime, and provably innocent people have been executed by the government before.

Life without parole is perfectly capable of keeping dangerous people removed from society while also giving the chance to release those who were convicted incorrectly.

>Personally, I believe in protecting life from the beginning until the natural death, but that is due to faith reasons.

OK cool, so you're in favor of providing cradle to grave health care, food, and shelter on the tax payers dime then?

Death penalty is more expensive to pursue than life in prison without parole.

Bring back the stockade, public mockery and shaming are effective punishments.

I get so fucking mad thinking about how one of the first things Kenney did after getting elected was waste all that money and effort converting this building, so that the city would be forced to hand Bart Blatstein a massive check to rent the Inquirer building.

I knew right then and there Kenney was not going to be a good mayor for the city, and he only got worse from there.

This development is nice, but this should have been the new PPD headquarters.

Ya there's less residents there to oppose Delaware Ave vs the Blvd, I don't see it happening.

KOP mall just expanded it's very popular and will continue to be well into the future.

The malls that are dying tend to be ones with a middle to lower economic appeal. High end is doing better than ever.

Additionally the build out of the KOP /202 region over the last decade has been nothing less than amazing. The DVRPC projects that area to grow faster than the city both in residential and jobs over the coming decades.

Airport line from South Philly isn't a bad trip, the biggest issue is SEPTA early morning bus frequency. But coming back from the airport is super convenient.

The counties delivered PA to the Biden administration, they're not going to deny the money.

Well city council is positioning themselves to block or otherwise hinder it as much as they can, so that's not going well.

Nobody tell them about where the workforce to run the mall is coming from.

Thier heads might explode if they learn a substantial number of 202 corridor office workers also come from the city.

Because it's going to make getting to one of biggest job hubs in the region a lot easier.

It's never ceases to amaze me how users here conveniently keep forgetting that 40% of Philadelphians have to reverse commute out of the city for thier job.
