I think about this a lot as I hear nonstop dirtbike revving, cars right outside blasting music for hours in a residential neighborhood, neighbors screaming at each other all day long with their windows open, etc.
Am I the problem for wanting quiet?

So tired of Philly nimbys, imagine moving to (or near) streets like Broad or Market then fighting potential large developments. Where else should they be if not in these places? In this case, they live in a highrise but want to prevent another highrise?
After our recent visit, it seems like the big plans at Broad & Lombard will be adjusted. Per comments just now on the ZBA meeting, the plans are being changed per a push from the neighbors at the nearby Symphony House. We anticipate seeing something smaller sadly soon.

This is true, but being able to do this at City Hall, Art Museum, Delaware & Spring Garden and 23rd & Washington all in one night while vandalizing police cars & firing guns with NO arrests is emblematic of a way bigger problem. What an awful look for the city, can’t sugarcoat it
These car meetups happen because the vast majority of our public space is the exclusive domain of cars.
Physical improvements like road diets, traffic calming, bollards, and heavy planters can deter such dangerous activity.

Center City looks great, just spent an awesome 2 hours walking around. Still, I saw 1 police officer the entire time - and it was the one in his car at Rittenhouse staring at his phone. CC is too big with too much foot traffic to have literally no police patrolling by foot or car

The most inhumane thing we can do about these people is allowing them to remain on the streets. There’s absolutely no logical reason to allow a small amount of individuals to operate with complete impunity while endangering not just others, but themselves

A one block construction project potentially impacting a single northbound street BELOW Arch will not sever Chinatown from foot traffic and tourists.
A lot of otherwise reasonable people are inventing scenarios instead of just saying “I’m not a fan of this idea”
96% of Chinatown opposes it
I own a small biz
A construction project like the arena would kill my biz
This will kill lots of C-town biz that rely on foot traffic, harming owners, workers & residents
It’s wrong

By what metrics are they “losing badly?” How is redeveloping a failing mall on Market St. “picking a fight with Chinatown?”

If any of these “alternate proposals” were at all serious, they could move forward - arena or not. You’re telling me a public library, a Welcome Center, lab space, etc. will only work EXACTLY where the arena is proposed?

I hope this doesn’t impact the Center City Macy’s but if does - it would be a great location for the region’s second Eataly or an urban Wegman’s. They opened in the old NYC Wanamaker last year

It’s really no wonder Parker wants the media to keep a distance with the way they’ve been reporting on her.

Why isn’t growing the population a goal here? Even in the mayoral primary no one discussed it besides Domb - who had 0 chance despite saying all the right stuff.
Meanwhile we have numerous politicians working to fight growth, both progressives & old school establishment types
One thing I don't hear discussed in Philly politics really at all is why population growth is not only good, but necessary, for Philadelphia to thrive. How else are we going to adequately staff/fund city departments, public transit, schools, and other services? (1/2)

I love Center City, including the neighborhoods surrounding this… but what do people think “thriving” means? I’d call these areas relatively stable at best, and from a retail & small business perspective they seem to be struggling.
The 76ers have pitched their downtown arena as a way to revitalize the East Market Street corridor, but opponents say that it will hurt neighborhoods that are already thriving.
Here's a look at some of the practical questions surrounding the project ⬇️

Their minds are racing, trying to think of any negative spin to put on the reduction in gun violence. Data is data UNTIL it goes against the agenda.
The reality is that violent crime is significantly down, but there is still a lot of work to do.
Do not be fooled or misled by people who claim that violent crime is down in Philly. More guns are being fired at other people than ever before. But, if no one is hit and no one is seen, it is never recorded as a crime. Just like a person who killed but never found.
