Is NYC not a diverse city? Philadelphia has quickly become what NYC was in the 70s. A dirty dangerous dump. Its a shame what terrible leadership has done to Philadelphia in just a few years.
Buy low, wait (how long did it take for NYC to turn around), sell high?

About 30 or 40 years ago the Philly PD bombed their own city. I am not making this up. It's been a shithole for decades.

West of the Atlantic. East of the ICW.
That’s just a straight up lie.

lay off the fear porn.
You've got nothing to back up that claim. Meanwhile the murder rate is exploding and you've got murders happening right in front of what were once solid attractions in the city like Pat's Steaks.

When the only things you have to back up your claim is fear porn, I don’t need much to call out your bullshit.

My sister wants to move out of Philadelphia. Says she's surrounded by too many racist Trumpkins. :shrug:

I enjoy visiting that city. Don't feel particularly unsafe there at all.
All the old school "Irish" Fishtowners...They probably think Trump is going to bring back their easy street parking of the 90s. That wasn't really a safe neighborhood to be black in until relatively recently.
 
The city had been run almost entirely by democrats for 50 years. Even has a George Soros funded DA. The state has had democrat governors most of the time. Shouldn't it be utopia? Just from this morning's news.

The South which gromsmorondad sees as the real America is stupidest, fattest, and poorest part of country, as well as leading in teenage pregnancies. Which political party owns the South?
