What I am advocating is trying something immediate to save lives. Maybe it works and then holy shit we have more living philadelphians, or maybe it fails and we are in the same exact boat.

If you want to say this idea can fail, I agree. What we are doing now is failing.

You're looking at a huge hole in the ship and I'm saying let's try to patch it with this, and you're response is: what if the ship continues to sink. That is literally what we are dealing with now.

We can do more than one thing at a time. While we work on long term reforms, we can do things in the immediate to try and give citizens of this great city a respite.

I just will never agree with thinking that letting 500+ of my fellow citizens die is more acceptable than trying something during THE DEADLIEST TIME EVER IN CITY HISTORY.

>Are you sizing up to a larger capacity unit than your current water heater?

No, but in my case that's just because the one we have is too large for our needs anyway. I'll stay at the same size for the new one. It does seem like for most people, sizing up is the way to go.

best part is a certain "faithful Laurentian" will soon be out a job.

I had one in an apartment I rented years ago in Media. It worked great and my utility bills were low. It had an "e-heat" setting for when it got too cold out - I believe the description was that the heat pump couldn't quite keep up in very cold temperatures. But I've read that even this isn't a challenge for new heat pumps.

Yeah and it forces pedestrians into the street where cars have one lane between the truck and K-rail. It’s dangerous and annoying. Happens every weekday!

Got it, so you're just throwing ideas out there without understanding what the guard is actually capable of doing (which is not community policing), how that would work legally and operationally, and if that would make things better or worse.

I'm all about solving this plague of violence. But if you don't understand what you are actually proposing, maybe you shouldn't say it?

Not surprised this is typically the case when things like this occur. Check the NJDEP database they may have more information on their now. It’s called data miner.

Fun fact: The state of New Jersey is widely referred to as a superfund site within the Enviromental consulting industry.

I think guys with guns in army fatigues will stop the pieces of shit from doing crimes in their presence to a good degree. At least worth the try as more citizens have been murdered in the last three years in Philly than a 3 yesr perood EVER BEFORE.

Idk maybe criminals look forward to getting shot up by army men, but I'm going to assume they will react similarly to when police are there, as they face the same outcomes of a cop being there: a bullet or an arrest.

No where did I say this will definitely work, but the question is why shit on something new to try when we literally have never had homicides this high?

The only person that can moral grandstand on new ideas with a retort of: let's try something that takes years, is someone who doesn't feel crime.

I care about outcomes, and everything someone has responded with is a solution that takes years. So in the meantime, we should just tell citizens: 500 of yall have to die yearly but please hold on we are working on it! Naa I refuse to think that's appropriate

Yo. The PPA is much improved. Over the last like 3 months they’ve gone from not trying to really getting after people for stuff like this. If you call in a location the dispatcher will put it out on radio right away. They now see pedestrian safety as part of their mission. Call in everything.

We used to have a murder clearance rate of +60% just a decade ago, well above national average. However, we saw murders literally doubled since then. How did murders double if clearance rate was higher than average here for years and that is the best deterrent?

You think investigations are floundering for those reasons? Investigations are failing because communities don't trust cops, and witnesses are the main tool used in these types of murders. Go talk to ADAs they will tell you getting someone to come testify in court is hard as fuck today, unlike 10 years ago.

The clearance rate for black homicides have fell off a cliff over the last few years because of the deterioration of police relations with communities.

Also, your answer is let's wait years to fix shit to try and save ppl. Again, this is just the perfect being the enemy of the good. You want 500 people to die yearly and only will try anything that you deem is the BEST way to solve the problem. That is so damn inefficient and sacrifices citizens of this city so you can moral grandstand.

I think if something can be done, it's worth trying it because things have literally NEVER BEEN WORSE when it comes to homicides in the city

If that's 23rd under JFK, that shitbird's been there since before 6 a.m., no less.

You're talking about trained police, not army reservists. The only similarity is that they both wear uniforms and carry guns. If that's all you think it takes to deter crimes, why not just hand out M4s and Flyers jerseys on the corner and deputize randos?

I'm sorry - do you think national guard = police?

I actually have one and can echo that it will be fine. Replaced a gas water heater with a Rheem ProTerra model a little over a year ago, installed in our basement by Gen3 Electric. In everyday use (household of 5), the only times we might run short on hot water is if kids take baths back-to-back, and even then it doesn’t take terribly long to recover.

A side benefit is that it will cool and dehumidify your basement in the summer as long as there’s enough air flow in and out of the space where the unit is installed.

The only caveat is that Rheem had an issue with some units that caused it to make an ungodly loud hum when running the heat pump. The solution was a new fan which they provided and Gen3 installed for free, though it does require taking the top casing off the water heater so adequate space above it helps a lot - but I think by this point this problem has likely been resolved in more recent production runs.

Happy to answer any other questions you might have!

Lol there's decades of studies otherwise. I suppose all social studies that show a strong link of police presence and less crime is just fake news.

People really are wild to think more police presence doesn't deter crime. Idk what world you inhibit where you don't understand that connection.

Just think of it like this: If the PPD literally said there was an area in the city where no cops would be and no patrol would go, do you think that would make that area safer or more dangerous?

Also, I said it's worth to TRY. Right now 500 dead is what we are on trend for. I suppose we do nothing in the short term because you don't think criminals get deterred from crimes by police, despite decades of research otherwise.

Best way to deter crime, raise the likelihood of getting caught. This Jersey dickhead isn't going to change their ways if there's a 1 in 100 chance of a $500 ticket, but they will if there's a 2 in 3 chance for a $50 dollar ticket this wouldn't be a problem.
