Reply to comment by Kodiak_85 in SEPTA Inks Contract to Make 3 Stations Fully Accessible – NBC10 Philadelphia by RoughRhinos
My understanding is that existing stations were grandfathered but need to be brought up to compliance once major renovations are made.
Without funding associated with the passage of the ADA, transportation agencies had no ability to renovate all their stations.

I could almost agree, but most of these guys are ex-cops and have basically no oversight except the company that was hired to do the evictions. I’d rather it was a public employee and honestly not sure it needs to be law enforcement.

Last week I saw two two trucks! Two! One of the car owners tried to come out and argue and the woman driving the truck just kept saying "do something about it. Do it." My hero.

I wish someone would penalize double parking. It's so, so bad

This is one of those areas that is just such a dark corner of municipal government that only effects poor people so it hasn’t been subject to the scrutiny that the rest of our government (which definitely still has massive issues) has. This is old school corruption and abuse of power

With stuff like this, it only comes up when absolutely egregious situations arise and the public protests. The reason we have these “agents” is because until the 60s Philly had elected constables like the rest of PA. They were basically eviction mercenaries and the final straw was one selling the furniture of a destitute family that was evicted without cause and became a public outrage. This type of work is dirty and should only be carried out by public servants who answer to a public office that has the ethics rules of city government. Sadly the sheriff’s department is not really that either

I don't think another anti-incentive would make a difference: while women said to produce the same results as men and reportedly get paid less at the same time, yet companies still keep hiring men.
(Yeah, I don't understand that either).

Shoprite sells it by the gallon. I buy a gallon here and there to cut pure glycol coolant into 50/50 water/coolant for automotive cooling systems.
