Yeah I figured it was basically a financial necessity since eastern state does the exact same thing

It's not abandoned anymore. They do a Halloween thing (which is probably poor taste now that I think about it) so I'd be surprised if they didn't have functional surveillance

You're right about zoning. You can see the city zoning map at Atlas.phila.gov. Click on any property, then go to the zoning tab, and.itll overlay on the map. Tons of neighborhoods are zoned for single family rowhomes ONLY, meaning not even duplexes are allowed. Many places lack zoning that allows for commercial corridors as well (CMX zoning)

I don't think they're involved (thankfully. I had a bad experience renting from them) this is just their development news blog

Yeah I think having a downtown that stays active at night makes it less likely. Last time everything was boarded up and abandoned as well. Now people are out and about to drink or eat out on a Friday

Manayunk, especially in the winter. I hate the two-way roads that are the size of a one-way

The bar graphs here make it easy to visualize. I'm not sure where the heights are taken exactly (temps are at the airport, maybe there?)

It's not that they want to "play" medic. The hospitals/universities did a study that showed a higher survival rate because police were more often able to get victims to hospitals faster. It does seem weird, but the data support it

It keeps people informed about things that already happened, and often inaccurately and if things that end up unfounded but you do you

Do you really think you'll see a post before it happens? Or before you hear it if you're that close? None of their info keeps anyone any safer

Philly desperately needs SOMEONE passionate about clean-ups, blight reduction, and beautification. Even if he's a single-issue guy, someone needs to push for it

Obviously not. I'm wondering if a change in this disparity would lead to further displacement. I know someone who has lived in a neighborhood her whole life that is now rapidly developing. Her property value has been shooting up and is having trouble with taxes, and it's honestly probably still undervalued.

Of course I 100% agree and fixing this will create a ton of wealth. I can imagine it would come as a shock to people not trying to sell.

I'm pro both projects, but you do have a point about the decline. The drops in population in NE has been significant and pretty fast. On one hand, this could maybe help the areas around the stations, or it could end up having declined significantly by the time it's done and end up with worse areas around it like what happens with much of the BSL and El
