When was the last time that actually happened in Philly?

Do you know if you can call these in? Neighbor across from me in roxborough parks on the sidewalk next to my place every single day. Doesn't leave it there all day but for hours none the less.

Fucking annoying as shit.

I got a ticket months ago from PPA for parking on the sidewalk, so I don’t think that’s true.

This happened to me the other day, some dude left their car double parked into a driving lane on Manayunk Ave (basically a narrow 2 lane road with street parking). Thankfully some kind septa bus driver coming up opposite let me get around em in the opposite lane, but it's super sketchy.

Even in West Philly (where the water was never at risk) there were long lines of people with cases of water bottles at the Acme near Penn.

I yelled at a cop the other day because he damn near hit me when I was crossing the street in a crosswalk because he pulled in front of the curb cut I was about to use to get out of the fucking crosswalk. Of course "normal" people are going to do it and fuck over disabled people and parents with strollers if cops are doing it (and almost taking out legal pedestrians in the process).

Is PPA legally allowed to ticket cop cars for shit like parking on sidewalks/curb cuts?

I want the assholes with giant trucks who are too lazy to find parking anywhere but in the crosswalk to start getting hit.

Wheelchairs can't pass, and it ruins the visibility trying to cross for other cars, cyclists, and pedestrians.

Parc. Hands down.

I've been told that PPD is in charge of sidewalk parkers. PPA is in charge of posted parking regulations.

There are other form of housing that are supplied to those people.

This person chose not to pay rent, had their day in court, lost, then the court permitted sending those people to force them out of the house. This person has plenty of opportunity to do the correct thing.

If landlords are able to raise rents that much, it’s because there is a shortage of housing units. There really isn’t “lots of new luxury buildings.” There are a handful of true luxury apartments and another handful of new construction apartments that have opened recently, but as a percentage of total housing inventory, it’s nothing, not enough to keep rents down.

What you described is a direct result of the city not allowing enough housing, there is an under supply. The city could 1. upzone the more desirable neighborhoods, especially those walking distance to transit .which would permit more housing units on a given parcel 2. Remove burdensome parking minimums and zoning overlays.

What happens when you call them? They just take down the info and send someone out?

Wasabi! That I might just have to try.

Summary:

>A recent report found that the Northeastern duo — better known as places where people repeatedly punch police horses and sling racial slurs at athletes — have the highest “informal helping rate” among 12 large metros.

>
>The report relies upon the Current Population Survey, conducted by the Census Bureau. Every other year, our friends at Census add a set of questions about volunteering and civic life to their superstar survey, which underlies such critical statistics as the nation’s unemployment rate.

>
>The question that drew us in, informal helping, asks how often in the past year you and your neighbors did “favors for each other such as house sitting, watching each other’s children, lending tools, and other things to help each other.”

I'd bet they're just filming for their reality show and are fishing for some juicy clips. Doubt there's been some organizational change.b
