>think rules do not apply
They often don't. The city has abdicated even the most basic enforcement to the people, but the citizenry has neither the incentive nor the power to enforce rules either.
Rules without enforcement, whether taht enforcement is by government or by society, are rules that do not exist.

>It seems like the city could get a ton of revenue by ticketing everyone that ignores the rules.
This city is so fucking weird when it comes to ticketing and money. Yes, you're right, they could make a ton of cash. They could do a whole lot of things that would make life better for everyone.
And they simply choose not to.

I actually pay the $5 to park in the garage when I pick someone up from the airport.

Speaking of that, much of the lower parts of the buildings aren't visible due to curvature.

It is tinicum but patrolled by Philly. You don't see Delco cops in or around the airport.

I've been ticketed there twice in the past 15 years by Philadelphia police. The cell phone lot is convenient and the place to be.

I hate it more when they double park next to an open spot. It’s like park in it, doesn’t matter how fast you’ll be and don’t worry you’ll be able to pull back out into traffic.

…and they’re proven right time and time again, when no consequences are dished out for their antisocial behavior. Which explains so much in Philadelphia.

Same. Haven’t ever seen it in another city. Last time I said that someone said they did to Make it seem like it was normal elsewhere….

Idk about a ton of revenue. Once they put their flashers on for one ticket everyone else will drive off and circle around until the cops are gone. At the end of the day I guess it’s not hurting anyone enough to warrant requiring police to scare them away all day long.

I’ve lived in a lot of cities and flown through many more. This is the only place where I’ve seen this happen. I think it’s because people here give 0 fucks when it comes to anything car-related and have a myopic view of everything centered on themselves.
I love this city but god damn. The car culture is so toxic and self-centered it’s incredible. Even on my street it’s a crapshoot if I can
- Find a spot when I get home from work because no one actually backs their car up after parking so there’s tons of half spaces or
- I can barely get out in the mornings because I have 4 inches in front and behind me

Reply to comment by porkchameleon in Philadelphia is now officially a ‘Certified Welcoming’ city. Here’s what it means for immigrant communities. by ColdJay64
It is supposed to make progressives feel good about themselves. I believe that is the intended purpose. Maybe launder some money to the 'Welcoming Center' non profit as well.
All par for the course stuff in this city

Double park culture. As trivial as it may seem it’s the thing that I genuinely despise the most about this city.

Nah, but I saw you.... fucking quakers.
Fun fact: the Jersey Devil is the 13th of Mrs Leeds. Who's Leeds? He's just a local politian people hated. It would be like if we were like "trump's son is a shit monster---> that's the ol' trump shit monster---> 'let's go shit monsters' *clap *clap *clapclapclap!"
