It's ambitious of you to think Philadelphia civil servants of any stripe should diligently do their job. They rarely have in my lifetime, but maybe r/philadelphia can compel them through incessant shaming.
Your post isn't wrong. But until the power base of this city faces a true challenge to their 80-year stranglehold, then nothing changes.
IOW: Park where you want.

Too many in this sub believe the PPA, PPD and other city agencies are omniscient.
Mayor Kenney, President Harris, QAnon, Tucker Carlson, WEF and NATO will discuss the parking problems on 4th and Jackson at their next beer hoist this Tuesday.

I'm in agreement that this old Philly tradition is a 10 out of 10 on the DICK! Scale.
But thinking the space-saver will be punished by their inner Kantian a priori reasoning---or out of fear of rejection from St. Peter at the Gate---is just not real.
They will only react to fear of force. And then you're committing violence over 6 feet of space. You've become the monster.

This reminds me of something my father oft repeated: Dogs lick their balls because they can.
Assertive people save parking spots. Passive people complain about it on Reddit.
When that person gets home, s/he will park in the spot they wanted and not care one second about legality, societal ethos or Reddit downvotes.

Both feet off the ground simultaneously isn't running. It's jumping.

Running is a faster form of walking. There is no Second Vatican Council canonical standard steps-per-minute scale that establishes the difference between walking, jogging and running.
It is all arbitrary to human understanding; and a futile endeavor if being pursued by a grizzly.

Reply to Announcement of how opioid settlement money will be spent in Kensington elicits mixed responses from community members by User_Name13
Enabling addicts to shoot up, even coupled with the altruistic premise that society can make it "safe" with after-the-fact treatment, is a horrific policy. It will have negative net effects every time.

When I used to take visitors on the subway years ago, Spring Garden was always the reason. There are so many great pics to snap of the city up there.

That is the 10th grade answer, yes.
I would say Jada Pinkett Smith, but then her husband would slap me and tell me to keep his wife out of my mouth.
I might just pass on answering altogether.

New Jersey has a ton of trees. Maybe someplace there.
Batsto Village is popular with my neighbor. That is near Hammonton on Route 542.
