If I had a dollar for every time I was passed by one of those cars from the left turn/oncoming lane on a city street I could probably fund it myself.

Anyone done this recently though? I am currently trying to do this for a commercial property next door to my house. The office rarely answers and when they do they say they will come out, but then no one does. Been trying since December. They are nice people though...

Block off both ends of my alley with dumpsters and declair myself an independent country.

I’m sorry I didn’t see this earlier and I hope my comment still made it in time. Thanks OP

I would kind of caveat that that area isn't much of a "neighborhood" in the sense of community -- there are some high-rises but it's mostly hotels, the Parkway itself, museums, etc. But in terms of safety, which I think is the main question -- yeah, it's pretty safe.

Yeet the homeless from the El.

I bet projected ridership has gone down as more people that work the type of jobs near KOP are able to work from home.

New fun solmanov restaurants on every corner

speed build a subway line

I come home every day to a work van parked on the end of the block on the right, and cars approaching from the intersecting block from the right don’t have a stop sign. Fun stuff

There are some scans on craigslist so be careful there. Trulia and Zillow have rentals, but some small/private landlords are on Craigslist.

From a technical standpoint, I somewhat find your comment ironic, in that the “realistic” part you mentioned is one of the less realistic things you mentioned lol

4 tracks is actually possible in south, if I’m not mistaken they considered it in planning stages and I believe there would be room to expand, especially in the portions between snyder and pattison (pattison is literally a 4 track station, only issue is that the 2 & 3 tracks have a narrow platform that would be a major liability with hoards of drunk eagles fans being herded on and off trains)

Cecil on the other hand would be a bit more difficult to pull off, as it was built as a local station, and thus it (and the entire portion of line between girard and Susquehanna) would need a complete rebuild and realignment, potentially even building demolitions to make way for the wider space needed to support an express station. The only way it might work would be to route all trains to and from the 1 & 4 tracks via the nearest switches to the north and south of cecil, and if I’m not mistaken this would also have to make Susquehanna a stop for expresses too. And this idea would inevitably lead to bottlenecking in both directions, so I think temple will just have to deal with being a local stop lol

The riverline is controlled by giants fans, they only care about the Newark and jersey city light rails…riverline is basically Cinderella

You didn’t realize that the Philadelphia home charter is drafted entirely off of Reddit polls?

Less of the gentrification waking me up with jackhammers at 7am

I think you were just at woodys on a Friday

In Canada I know for a fact they’re free a lot through certain avenues. Same with the CFL. Obviously our sports landscape is quite a bit different with NHL being by far #1

It really is... thinking of the pickup that parks on the corner and reserves "their" spot with a cone. Can't see anything when I turn at the end of my street

You should not attach a chain to an abandoned car and pull it so that it blocks a street. Then the city would have no choice but to tow it away. That would be a big inconvenience.

This just reminded me that I really don't know anyone's phone number anymore
