"I took cold medicine 5 minutes ago but I still have a cold! This medicine is useless!"
Because, as you know because it's been explained to you multiple times, anti-violence programs take multiple forms, Some are short term interventions and others are longer term solutions. Philly's anti-violence program is brand new and has barely had any time to show results, but you were calling it a failure from the start.

Picking the 10 most recent posts, which are still over 30% related to crime (the fact that you used a different tag doesn't change that), and ignoring years of crime posting is a big LOL
Ignoring the rest of the fact that your "argument" holds no water is an even bigger LOL.

>Like, gee I don't know, fix the roads?
I guess it doesn't matter if the streets are red with blood if there aren't any potholes. But don't forget that when the city reengineers the roads to make them safer your just complain about that causing congestions.
>Philly can't even get the buses to run on time
Philly doesn't run SEPTA, you should know this.
>A model that hasn't been proven to do what it purports to do anywhere else?
Anti violence intervention works, the fact that you keep saying it doesn't doesn't change that.

For someone who almost exclusively posts about crime your sure do love to shit on attempts to reduce it.
>These programs are attempting to do the work of parents.
No they aren't.
>A government worker can't ever replace a parent.
Nobody is suggesting they should except for your disingenuous strawman.
>We'd be better off spending this $200 million on things that actually improve people's lives.
Sure, let's take it out of the corrupt PPD's budget.
>Bad parenting is the root cause of a lot of our problems in society.
Sure, just gloss over systematic poverty and generational overincarceration for non-violent drug offenses..
Blaming parents isn't a solution. You offer no tangible solution to stop the violence that's happening NOW. All you do it try to assign blame and you even do that badly. Blaming people is not a solution.

The cops weren't pulling people over for moving violations before the city had to pass a law banning them from using air fresheners as an excuse to harass minorities.

>The inability for police to pull over unregistered cars, uninspected cars, and cars with obscured license plates removes
The law doesn't say these cars can't be pulled over, it just says that can't be the only reason for the traffic stop. It's because the cops were using these as excuses to selectively target and harass minority drivers.

The idea that covid lockdowns weakened our immune systems has been debunked, especially considering things have been pretty much normal for a while now. Covid itself will fuck up your immune system though.

Report to 311. Regardless of if the lines are safe to move they shouldn’t be dropping anything in your yard

High taxes are definitely better than continued institutional devaluation of minority neighbors that leads to a generational wealth divide. This is just modern day redlining.

Pointing out that you used an arbitrary and non-representative sample isn't moving the goalposts, it's pointing out that your arguments are bad.
