Then why all these ugly apartments?

I wonder if you're entitled to compensation? Someone I know got bonkers money when a neighbor cut down a tree in their yard

That's some hand-waving. Like what's the typical margin of error on annual census estimates? Is it safe to say that the city lost residents this year, as opposed to gaining residents? Also, rental vacancy seems like such an indirect metric in regard to city population. Rental vacancy could mean a variety of things-- smaller household sizes, less total rentals on the market, etc.

It is definitely intentionally incendiary, but that's most media including the Inquirer. It wouldn't surprise me if the Inquirer wouldn't blink in rewriting the story to favor the officer under a certain set of circumstances, even if the important known details were entirely the same. That I don't have confidence in them (among many others) writing a dispassionate and just-the-facts news story is what frustrates me about them.

Based on cell phone data, the city's population grew .8% between April '21 and April '22: https://localtoday.news/ny/philly-attracts-residents-from-suburbs-and-brooklyn-cellphone-data-shows-5778.html

IT WAS NOT A TOW AWAY ZONE!!! I did not park in a tow away zone.

Did you see the comment I was replying to?

I’m hoping this puts an end to her gravy train.

Thank you so much ;))))))

Sounds like a suburbanite to me

Thank you so much for this info! I appreciate it so much!

I live in rittenhouse. I just understand that it’s not the residents of Lower Merion’s fault or wherever’s fault when a helicopter circles my neighborhood

I guess it would boil down to how much it would cost (in actual costs plus the cost of making a potentially bad PR move). I would be really surprised to find out the casino industry hasn't done any inquiry into the idea and decided against it already, because on its face it seems logical if they want to attract customers. I wouldn't think the industry would start up daycare operations for any altruistic reasons

ETA other people have posted that some local casinos in Vegas do this already, so it must make sense for them.

“I couldn’t believe the consequences of my actions had the nerve to show up”

Yeah building less housing is for sure the best way to lower rent prices! We should probably just stop building any new housing at all

> Shuter was awarded the contract, which has paid millions of dollars in fees collected from landlords, in a private, noncompetitive process, the Inquirer reports. Her husband, David Shuter, sits on the municipal court and has presided over eviction hearings that have produced work for his wife's office, WHYY reports. Marisa Shuter's father, Alan Silberstein, formerly ran the municipal court system as president judge.

Corruption at worst, nepotism at best.

You also have lobbying legal in this country^TM that is essentially bribing your elected officials, nothing too shocking here (unless they broke the law; I don't think ethics committee would even bother).

Me too. Thank you.

True, although it does include south Philly to Tasker Street by CCD's definition.

I’m so sorry to see someone else getting this diagnosis. But my mom was treated by a Dr. McCloskey at Penn in university city. My dad couldn’t stop talking about his amazing attitude/guidance during such a hard time.

A pretty awful situation pending additional details.

Although, I can't get it into my head how one expects to live on someone else's property without paying rent (in some cases for years). Forced evictions is some next level shit, so it really must be some serious delinquency (and tenants in question essentially held the owner hostage, according to the article).

Pay your bills.

Seconding Bordentown.

Your link was broken for me- this one should work
