Idk what was causing the noise but I nearly went insane a few years ago because of a beeping noise that nobody could find the source of

I had an issue with a restaurant I live by. They always play loud music outside which I was okay living with, but one night they hosted an outdoor party on the street with a DJ and had music blasting until 11pm on a Tuesday night. That night I called, talked to the manager that was working on the phone to try to work it out amicably and was told to "Fuck off" so I took revenge and it was really easy.

Instead of going through the city which is useless, go through the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board. I submitted the contact form and called the number on the website, and got a call back from a police officer a day later and talked to him for a while and he took care of it. Never heard another peep from the restaurant. I'd recommend documenting everything with pictures, videos, and timestamps and then let the PLCB do their jobs as they take it a lot more seriously than the noise ordinance department in the city government.

1. If you had someone honking their car horn outside your window all day long, pretty sure you would care. Basic human mental health issue. If it doesn't bother someone, something Is not right.

2. Because there are bigger problems doesn't mean give up on any other positive changes. (I'd even argue it is a "broken window theory" issue.)

3. They don't have to go so fast or honk, they just need to slow down. Honking horn all day not a sane option

Remove all abandoned and low-use cars. I think this would free up enough parking to defuse the single-issue people for whom parking is a barrier to anything. Then, after the one day car removal blitz, we could have a whole different conversation about street cleaning, building more housing units, and bike lanes.

Turn the vacant lot into a tree and picnic park

The BSL extension into the Navy Yard won’t increase ridership enough to qualify for federal funding aka it’s an even worse investment than KOP. If Roosevelt Blvd gets federal funding the cost for both could be similar for SEPTA even if the overall price tag is higher for Roosevelt

What? Who are you and what are you talking about?

There is an open air heroin market, the schools blow, the streets look like swiss cheese, and there's dirt bike gangs, this is not a law I give a flying fuck about the city wasting time to enforce

They honk so they dont have a head on collision with other cars on the ramps.

Looking at the map, I swear the other comment that mentioned the track sharing with the Spur has to do with it.

The Express is just about lock step with the Spur once they meet up. The Spur makes one stop the Express doesn't.

I'd dig an Express skipping down to Oregon, though.

The quiet of the pandemic lockdowns was really an eye (ear?) opening experience.

My experience with the lower NE is it’s more quiet than it’s ever been . I can sit out all night and not hear a pin drop or walk my dog and the neighbors all wave and say hi but I come on here and find out I’m living in a hellhole .

"Cities are loud so don't enforce laws and go honk your horn by my apartment all day long." Derp.

How about we also ask for a spaceport while we are at it. I've always wanted to take a trip to Mars.

Yeah I have two crumblers I can see from my back bedroom

Jettison my neighbors into the stratosphere.

Cities are loud

I honestly hate that video because it's something you can't unhear once you notice it.

Same, but metaphorically instead of actual trains.

Yeah and we certainly don't need 5 stops in a row on the fucking express line. At least have one stop south of walnut locust lol.

Cities arent noisy, cars are noisy.
