I was born in Bristol and lived in Croydon until I was 5 and I approve this statement.

A lot of people here do try to make things better and to be honest, that’s one of the best things about Philly. Much of that is because the actual city government is incompetent. We need stronger leadership in city hall so they start doing their jobs.

Pretty sure most people are okay with the idea of restorative justice when it comes to non-violent crime. However, there's no amount of community service that will bring a victim back to life or un-assault them.

And what is your proposed use for this XL litter box?

Richmond. It's 5 hours by train but a great city.

we live in roxborough and have been really lucky with our neighbors. everyone on our block is really nice and has kids my kid loves to play with. the libraries are nice and have a good selection. there’s always a lot of free or cheap events going on if you keep an eye out (we took her to the bluey live show at the kimmel center for like $25 a ticket, that kind of stuff). she goes to birthday parties downtown all of the time and there are a lot of nice playgrounds and playspaces she’s gotten to visit. she enjoys her daycare and her friends she met there and all of the parents are pretty chill as well. they all like to go scootering in the parks. there are definitely a lot of nice things about parenting in philly.

I think a lot of the people complaining about the small size of this don’t live in the neighborhood.
Not because NIMBY, but because this is a huge building for the area. I doubt there’s a single 10 story building anywhere west of this. And I can’t think of anything near This size for about 6 blocks east, and that’s all student housing.
Which this decidedly is not.

Maybe the cops on fake sick leave could work at the libraries as their secret second jobs

18 sorties is pretty huge for that part of town.

I have 2 cats. But i wouldn't use it for a litter box.
If you don't find any takers by this weekend I'll take it

I used to think this, too, when my oldest was little, but it’s degraded significantly over the past 10 years or so. The outdoor equipment is dated and nowhere as awesome as some other playgrounds. On the rare occasions they installed new equipment, it has been low-budget DIY crap. The big slide is still fun. As for the inside, there used to be better (and better condition) toys. They removed the playhouse, which was extraordinary.
Smith needs two things: a better board of directors and funding. I’d help with both.

There’s stuff that absolutely warrants complaint, I just wish more people followed that with action. I’m hoping that things get back to even better, especially for the kids.
