If you ask me, SF is way way worse than Philly, like 100x worse imo. But also that was like 15 years ago, and things have got pretty bad here in Philly.

>All three were hit by drivers who fled the scene, one of whom turned themselves in later that day.

Basically every time I take the subway I try to wave everyone through, I'm a humanitarian.

On the subway yea, scan your card at the handicap entrance and when the doors open both of you walk through at the same time.

Crudely, if you take the population of Philadelphia 1.5m and compare it to the population of the United States 331m and extrapolate PWD's estimated budget increase ($75m) on that basis, you come up with a very crude figure, with nothing else considered of $16.5b budget increase for all water departments, everywhere in the US, very crude.

$16.5b that water departments want to pass on to Americans in what is sure to be trying times. Now think about what else the US government is spending billions on instead of US water infrastructure.

In pa we have laws that shield you from both prosecution and civil lawsuits when using force to defend your life.

This is fucked up. I know, FAFO, I get that. Dude definitely had it coming. It's fucked up 9:30 at night on Walnut St you have to get into a fight for you life and fucking stab someone to near death. I don't want to get robbed, I don't want to have to stab or shoot someone. I just want to go about my business, why is that too much to ask?

Just add an extra 4 bus or two then?

WTF do they need a special shuttle bus for when there's already a bus that goes the exact same route?

People who run go into a trance I swear to God. I see people running when I'm walking my dog and it's like they'll run right fucking into me or my dog like they don't even see me there and then be mad that I didn't get out of the way.

Pause.

There's actually a fundamental difference between walking and running. When you walk one foot is always on the ground. When you run both feet are off the ground simultaneously during each stride.

If you ride your bicycle on the sidewalk and are older than 12 you are the exact equivalent of drivers who park in the bike lane.

I was thinking about it the other day. How many people are gonna slip and fall in the Acme and they need a lawyer and they got no idea who to call and the only person they can think of is Jawn Morgan?

Probably a lot of people.

The city should shut this job site down until this homeowner is totally and completely reimbursed to her satisfaction.

A pound of 90/10 ground beef or turkey.

>... Those things will improve our city and set it up for the future.

Emphasis mine.

What do you mean by our city? It's easy to say we got to improve our city and set up our city for the future, when our city means the city of Philadelphia.

But what if our city means, the people living in Philadelphia?

We want to see economic progress and we want to quality of life to improve for everyone. So do we do that by importing a new tax base or do we do that by lifting people out of poverty?

Because I think it's morally unambiguous, as a society we should be people first.

Nah I feel exactly the opposite.

Yea

And does the unfairness of raising taxes on people who can't afford to improve their property while lowering taxes on people who can improve their property register with you at all?

We already have that...

Can you explain that more clearly?

It shifts the burden to people in established neighborhoods who can't unlock the equity in their home because of their income.

This is shifting the tax burden from people building and buying brand new homes in neighborhoods they gentrify to people in established neighborhoods in old ass houses.

Wow that is a profoundly unfair idea. I mean, I'm shocked at how unfair that is.

We already have a land value tax don't we?
