I’m a civil engineer and unless your friend inspects houses for a living, which is rare for a civil engineer, I would still hire one.
Issues that a home inspector would catch don’t overlap much with what most civil engineers do. structural stuff maybe, but not smaller things involving utilities, etc.

Also Philadelphia is not seeing the large population boom Atlanta is seeing. Development there is much easier to direct cause there’s such a high demand for new housing we don’t have here.

There are groups that go around advocating for the handicapped and sue cities/businesses for violating ADA requirements. Their main goal though is to generate income through legal fees. Actually helping handicapped people is a secondary goal.

Reply to comment by Lunamothknits in D.C.’s police department is recruiting in Philly, offering a $20k hiring bonus. The Philadelphia Police Department isn’t worried. by redeyeblink
It’s the same with every government position in the city. It’s not that it’s hard to get in is the problem. It just takes forever to get hired so good candidates would likely find work elsewhere by the time the application is completed

I thought that possessing an atv in the city is illegal, even if it’s registered.

Probably not. It would’ve been easy for him to get his son a gun legally. He likely wouldn’t so his son stole it instead.
