I'd prefer for the Inquirer to spend fewer words describing how aggressive or confrontational they perceive Nutter to be in these series and more words on the actual substance of the exchanges themselves.

Ooh I love mustard greens! But moreover I really like how the CSA has forced me to learn how to cook and store veggies that were previously unfamiliar to me.

Reply to Why Even Bother Recycling by ferrusmannusbannus
It's so much more convenient not to recycle. If I had any hope that my recyclables would be recycled, I'd recycle them. But I don't think that's happening, so I don't stress over it and I just enjoy the ease of putting everything in big contractor bags the morning of.

Reply to You have one day to change something about your neighborhood. You get whatever resources you need, but only 24 hours to complete your project. What do you try to tackle? by RoverTheMonster
I'd get dumpsters for each entrance to the park. People short dump there and the garbage that gets produced from people enjoying the park is way too much for the provided cans to handle.
I'd also get artists to paint the outsides of the dumpsters so they look good.

I'd speculate that it'll be less affordable in that time frame, probably both for renting and buying.
Public transportation is a toss up for me: if the bus revolution is allowed to happen I think it could help SEPTA improve, but it's already been delayed at least a year so I'm not holding my breath. The risk of inaction is that SEPTA will go on a downward spiral whereby reduced ridership causes reduced funding, which exacerbates the issues that themselves result in reduced ridership, and so on.
I'm optimistic about crime, although if CoL becomes less affordable (which I expect it will) and if SEPTA does the downward spiral thing (I suspect it might) then our crime problem could be compounded. There's only so much cops and local politicians can do to affect this (although they could be doing a lot more than they are currently).

Reply to Big Charlie’s Saloon, the Kansas City Chiefs bar in South Philly, cancels its Super Bowl watch party by CookedDenimRawPizza
I don't understand what's being reported on. Are they saying Eagles fans purposely bought out all the tickets in order to start trouble and/or suppress Chiefs fans' celebrations?

>Fuck you people who make this impossible.
Was the issue that ticket resellers bought up all the tickets, or that there was some sort of subversion by eagles fans?

I think he shouldn't have let Gym dodge his question about her conflict of interest in voting against the pharma rep bill. If being perceived as aggressive is the only way of preventing a politician from dodging a perfectly reasonable, important question, then I think a responsible moderator needs to be aggressive.
Maybe Nutter could have held Gym accountable by some means other than apparent aggression. Something about catching flies with honey instead of vinegar. But, as a voter, it's much more important to me that they do it than how they do it.
