I'm honestly not sure what would be harder to get done, building the RBS or up zoning along the Blvd. City council is allergic to in fill development, especially if it's by right and they can't get a cut of it.

Same. I live in Point Breeze like 2 blocks south of Grad Hospital and it's lovely every time I walk through, day or night.

My three-year old can slide right into that crew and look right at home.

Nice. If I sit on the steps here, an elderly power walker might pass by, and that would be our excitement for the day.

Thankfully, I live on the street where there's several families with young kids as well.
Setting up play dates is such a task.. so it's a welcome unintended benefit to just sit outside on the stoop and kids stop by and play

I’m in Jersey now (sorry for the coarse language) and am missing Philly for the play opportunities for my toddler. I’m realizing I’m going to have to meet other parents (yuck!) and arrange play dates (ugh!) because he won’t be able to run out front and have kids playing up and down the block like it was in Lawncrest where I grew up.
We have kids all over playgrounds, though. Do you have kids playing outside in the street and in driveways, etc? Or am I remembering a bygone age in Philly?

Don’t have much to add since I’m no parent and have no plans to be, but I do notice that area seems to have a lot of happy families when I’m passing through.

This is probably true. The oldest zoomers I know are 25. I didn’t have my kid until I was 33

They simply forgot there were 28 days, or they really meant to write March 3rd.

I really don’t understand why people are so mad about this. I didn’t say that no one is leaving cause the suburbs are better for kids. I just doubt that many Gen z are driving that trend given statistical reality that even the oldest zoomer is still well below the median age for first child. https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/health/2022/07/26/median-age-for-new-moms-rises-to-30-in-u-s-

Urbanism is not about hating highway, that's a brain dead take.
But speaking of not dealing with budgets, it's obvious you don't have a clue since the current cost of our road infrastructure is draining the economy. We're not paying to maintain it because we can't afford it.
