My team has been in contact with the Biden Administration throughout the day to correct this decision. I’m pleased Welcome Park will remain the rightful home of this William Penn statue — right here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Penn founded.

If anyone ever needs some talking points on the topic of why Philadelphia has (one of) the most walkable urban streetscape for major US cities
1. It has the most narrow streets in the United States.
2. It has the smallest avg house lot size
3. It has the lowest percentage of SFHs
What these threads are revealing is that a lot of the country knows very little about Philadelphia.
Philly needs to market its walkability better.

the conservative status quo is desperate to keep Philadelphia as desolate and depressed as possible. They'll inappropriately use their platform to push their bias opinions for what exactly? So Market East stays empty 365 days a year?
The Sixers arena proposal may not be dead yet, but this withering critique from the Civic Design Review board is going to make it harder for politicians to ram it through by saying it’s good for Market Street.

And I think the answer is Philly has consistently had a top 3 dumbest/clowniest city council per capita among large US cities for decades.
