This issue is also heavily weighted in my calculus...honestly the candidates aren't really talking about this. I suspect Jeff Brown wouldn't be awesome on this issue because he views things as an auto-oriented commercial business owner (speculating). MQS might be okay as she introduced the TOD bill. Parker is from NW, no idea on Rhynhart, Domb might be okay.

When you disallow construction on desirable lots, development gets pushed to floodplains.

I was Jeff Brown - curious for a bit, but I'm not liking the pandering at all.

Im suggesting that septa doesn't even have a response, compared to other agencies who have at least identified it as an issue.

Fare evasion is an issue on every major transit system right now. It does seem however like SEPTA has ceded the El and BSL to the dirtbags.

If you're talking about the greater phila metro area maybe. City alone, no. That being said guy sounds like a dbag.

I'm going to riot if I have to listen to helicopters all night.

Jokes aside, no. In 2020 people were all bent out of shape about covid still and all the young people were cooped up at their parents house instead of at school. Different setting now.

South Philly, can't see shit when you're coming to an intersection because people park in the crosswalks. Gets worse the farther south you go, at least on the east side.

The submission title auto-populates with the information in the social metadata of the article, which in this case is the same as the title. Not everything that rubs you the wrong way is part of some vast right-wing conspiracy.

And yes, I am clearly astroturfing . I actually live in Macedonia.

>The grant for the Guns Down Gloves Up program, awarded in December 2021 to Epiphany Fellowship Church and Villanova University, is the subject of at least two investigations, a city spokesperson confirmed.
