After decades, the predicted improvements to infrastructure have yet to appear. Developers are not building the warehouses to do anything but fill their pockets with cash. If LERTA helps them avoid putting money into the infrastructure improvement fund, they are all in regardless of the toll shitty roads and other deficiencies puts on their tenants or the local communities.

Philly PD has been monitoring them for a few years now. They know generally where they come from. They know where they gather. Only so many gas stations that the bikes use to gas up.

And, yes, the bikes can be followed. And have been followed. From the air. I've watched many a video from drones and news helicopters. You can, too.

Your 2nd paragraph is provable nonsense. The increase in warehouses has brought more truck traffic and more properties not contributing to the tax base. Cannot improve infrastructure without them paying taxes.

Well, you can improve the infrastructure, but the people paying are not the warehouse owners. LERTA is a screwjob on the taxpayer.

And the additional warehouses has done what exactly for "cultural improvements," whatever the hell that is?

Don't be on the Pike after 6 pm between Blue Mountain and New Stanton. 90% trucks and non-stop construction. Did that trip the other day and it was about 40 mph all the way. A long slog interrupted only by the Texas-tagged vehicle going 20 mph thru the tunnels by MM 201.

That drive up 78 by itself is painful with all the construction and truck traffic. Do those rigs really need to beside-by-side drag racing up the hills at 40 mph with their 4-ways on? Those of us behind them already know they are going slow so why bother with the 4-ways? And the combos swinging side-to-side across the lanes. Do those drivers not know how to handle those rigs??
