Why are they having problems recruiting?

That's a rhetorical question. I know the answer.

They must be running out of money

Nearly $40k. But I had tons of issues. I was going to remove just the stucco and replace the windows and add brick veneer. But once we got to the first brick layer, everything was crumbling. The new windows would have no support. The second brick layer was worse. So we literally removed the whole front of the house, reframed it and added a brand new layer of bricks. The original ballpark was $20k. That’s not including the cost of the windows.

It's a brand new high-rise in Rittenhouse Square. Why would the apartments be below $2000? There are endless apartments far cheaper than that in the neighborhood and all over the city. The absolute nicest housing in the third most populated downtown in the country just isn't going to be super cheap - and there's no reason it should be.

This was almost ten yrs ago. Was that the case then too?

I will say the Inspector Generals office has actually weeded out most of the literal graft. I’m not saying their isn’t misuse of funds or other thing. But people are no longer widely taking bribes. Which is something lol

I’m not a photographer but I do have eyes. This version is so much better than the one you posted. The one you posted has such a blue filter on it that it loses all contrast and detail

Physical requirements are waved because no one healthy is applying. So you get Police Academy movie characters.

Public transit anywhere really. There was a shooting in the Potomac Ave Metro station in DC yesterday, a man slashed on the A train in Brooklyn yesterday, a PBS reporter randomly punched in the face on the subway in NYC Monday, etc. etc. etc.

Our system needs to be fixed, but people always speak as though this stuff only happens here when that's not at all the case.

How much did it cost for you to redo your facade?

>It's just frustrating that everything eventually boils down to people saying "Landlords are scum" to everything we do.

If I were a landlord I'd try to discriminate based on how much reddit/Twitter the tenant uses. The echo chambers really affect people IRL

Hasn't happened and won't happen.

you know how I know you don't know the stats for cause of death for most on-duty officers or the average amount of time lapsed between when an officer initiates in an encounter and resorts to lethal force?

Honestly the thought of just running downstairs to get my RX is a dream

3 uniforms from healthy cops that resigned to serve elsewhere---somehow ignoring the ridicule of Redditors as they drive out on 95 South.

Anyone who can not show the slightest care for their outward appearance like these chubs hasn't the fortitude to be an affective police officer.

But this is the police force that you have leftover; filled with 3rd tier rejects that never leave leftovers.

somebody disagrees with me, therefore their opinion must be invalidated, and I'm going to attempt to do so by claiming they live in the suburbs whether they do or not

It’s not worth the stress imo. Getting the kitchen redone now and I’m relieved seeing the permits in the window - no nosy neighbors can say anything

No. We held on for a long time but the reporting on many issues is sketchy at best. I was tangentially involved in a news story they covered extensively and they truly just ignored a huge relevant portion -- despite having the information. They definitely put a spin on some stories. I actually tend to agree with their biases in most cases, but I want objectivity from my news, not to be told the progressive party line.

I hope this stays consistent, I've seen them show up in Brewerytown like once every few months and crush it only to then not show up for another 3 months.

>And yes, using deadly force, even in that situation of it was correct, is a huge problem.

You know how I know you don't work in a setting that might get dangerous?

I think tax avoidance may actually be a big part of this. Not sure how AirBnB reports payments to owners, but if she doesn't have a license to rent, there's a good chance she also doesn't have a biz license and doesn't report at least some of that income.
