We’re gonna build the wall, and St. Joe’s Prep is gonna pay for it

How is Temple destroying the community exactly? By adding extra police? Providing jobs? Keeping the area clean? Educating young people? Please do tell me how Temple is “ruining” the neighborhood.

Tasty cakes, Hershey’s

Ah I love foxes… when I was in London I saw a bunch of them, they’ve found a little niche for themselves in the city.

Henry Ave again? That road is a disaster. People go flying down there. Admittedly I’ve done it… but the road design makes it way too easy.

It’s likely one exists…. The problem is finding it.

Get outside more… Philly is doing just fine lol

Historically Philly does pretty well in recessions. A lot of people who left for NYC/DC/Boston come home, people move here to take advantage of the lower COL. Some of Philly’s best growth years in terms of population were 2009-2011.

Definitely. Philly has the right base for growth in the 21st century I think. Dense housing stock that’s affordable (compared to the rest of the northeast), lots of universities to produce leading research and provide a pipeline of young talent to drive growth. Philly is fairly insulated (but not immune) to the effects of climate change relative to a lot of the rest of the country as well. The biggest issues we’ll have is some flooding along the river and South Philly but have the tech/engineering to deal with that when the time comes. It’ll be expensive but still far cheaper than what a lot of other places would have to do to avoid people leaving for places less affected by climate change like Philly. Philly offers you 90% of NYC for 40% of the price. Lots of people have caught own. Fishtown/Northern Liberties are absolutely booming right now, I’m part because of people coming in from NJ/NY, as commuting I-95 North can get you there fairly easily. There’s a lot I like about Philly going forward. It’s not going to boom but it’s not going to bust either. I work in real estate development so looking forward to it!

Sure. But neither can the Republican. And apparently that mattered more to voters. The outcome we have best reflects the will of the voters given the circumstance, which is what we should want. If the voters prefer nobody - temporarily - over a Republican that’s their right. I see zero issue with the outcome. Obviously it would be most preferred if the guy didn’t die but you can’t control that.

Trump tried to overthrow the government based on a complete lie dude. As far as I’m concerned, hating him is the duty of all patriotic Americans. If you don’t hate him, you’re an idiot.

Bro people literally voted for a dead guy instead of a Republican… if that doesn’t reflect poorly on the GOP then uh, idk what to tell you. From the voters’ perspective it’s perfectly rational to vote for a dead guy and wait for a special election than to not vote and let a Republican win.

Avoid leverington and Silverwood 😂😭

Which is scarier - the thought that we really are all that, the smartest in the universe, or that we’re not?

Yes that is how taxes usually work. Is that supposed to be a counterpoint or something? The business owners have been asking for this for a while. There are very successful BIDs elsewhere in the city.

The business owners on north broad are by and large supportive of this.

It’s literally on top of a BSL stop. The people living here won’t need cars.

*Blastien talks a big game without getting much done, but Post Bro’s actually do get stuff done. Pretty sure they’re building the two largest multifamily projects currently under construction in Philly in NoLibs and at Broad & Washington. Blastien had to bring them in to save his ass at Broad and Washington.

I could see it being popular among wealthier international immigrants.

There have been more things getting done lately at least though. Growing pains I guess.

Why should I as a grown adult give a single fuck what another grown adult chooses to do with their facial hair?

FUCK YOUR PORTFOLIO GO PHILS

Man literally caught a child thrown from a window to save it from a fire and still was thinking about Agholor 😂

Pathetic. Punishing kids over this. The Christians in the country are far more similar to Islamic extremists they purport to hate than they’d like to admit. Christian sharia law has no place in this country.

Penn literally isn’t even involved in this. It’s a private transaction. Their issue should be with the federal and local governments for not preparing to relocate these residents when they knew full well that the land owner didn’t plan on renewing their contract. It was a contract, they did their part, and they can do what they want with the land now.
