One thing I will add here that has worked numerous times for the people I've recommended this to... Put out some of your dirty laundry as well will the litter. I have like 90%+ success rate with this.

I don’t disagree. I hope they don’t split the reasonable vote.

Wish we had ranked choice for this very reason, they're the only two candidates worthy of consideration, everyone else is just varying levels of do nothing, corrupt, and clown.

so my sister hasn’t seen the cat again but she put some food on her step. she has a ring camera so if she sees him again i asked her to reach out here.
i really hope this works out, i am unfortunately dealing with finding out that my own cat may have cancer so a win would be awesome right now

It requires a new paradigm that city leadership is actively resisting and pushing away from.

Buying a house in that neighborhood and hoping to rent it for a profit is as much market speculation as investing in NFTs and about as smart. The way to do land speculation in these shit areas is buy a tear down, clear the land, and pay almost nothing in taxes on it for the next 20 years, which is what usually happens.

Reply to Jersey suburb recommendations? by you_stand_corrected
It's not much less competitive, if at all, on the Jersey side. I would never rent an apartment in the suburbs - you're basically trading in all the good parts of the city without getting any of the real benefits of the burbs. We made the move years ago to Collingswood because we wanted space and peace & quiet without sacrificing proximity to our favorite spots in the city.
If you do decide it's what you want, stick with Collingswood, Haddon Township, or Haddonfield. There's really not a point in any of those towns where you're not walkable to a PATCO station. Although, word to the wise, you will start driving even the short 1 mile to the PATCO after a few months of living in the burbs.
1 bedrooms in the newest buildings around here are going for around $2000. Row homes in Collingswood go for anywhere from $2000-$2700.

I live out in Runnemede and I love it! The whole area - Runnemede, Voorhees, Magnolia (even Somerdale is nice enough)!

I’m very glad this is happening for Disabled Philadelphians like myself; we use transit a lot and Philadelphia tends to have a higher Disabled population than other major east coast cities.
On the other hands though, the ADA was 30+ years ago and only now some transit stations are complying. Yikes.

> Like what's the typical margin of error on annual census estimates?
they've been getting worse and worse because the census has been estimating that all cities have been losing pop since 2017 or earlier, the 2020 census when they actually counted showed that was not true but they never updated how they're doing the estimates

Or you can go to a station where a worker is(suburban or Jefferson) and they can do it for you.

just fyi no one is being "counted", this is a yearly estimate that the census bureau puts out, they have been predicting all urban areas have been declining since like 2016, except when they actually counted in 2020 it turned out it wasn't true, and they went straight back to estimating declines.

Reply to comment by pleeplious in Parent is getting referred to Penn Neurology for suspected ALS. Anyone here have a recommendation regarding specific doctor? by pleeplious
He was, yes. But this was over 10 years ago when she was diagnosed. He could have retired by now, in which case I’m sorry!! But I figured I’d reply since he was awesome. I hope you find answers and take care of yourself as well as your dad.

It will probably be packed no matter what, but particularly THIS first Wednesday of the month will be BONKERS because it's spring breaks in the area. Pretty much every museum, park, cultural Institution, zoo, etc will be packed between the 2nd and the 14th (NJ has spring break after Easter, so they keep the works gummed up).

I agree with the other folks mentioning Claritin/generic Claritin. I also wear my mask while waiting for the bus - helps considerably with pollen blowing down the street. Obviously depends on your allergies and activities. If you wear contacts and have glasses, switch to glasses if you can while the meds kick in. Good luck!

They should be, yeah. Are you saying they should be but are also upset about what this officer did?
