The SS United States sat at a dock for 30 years the cowboys didn’t make it to one NFC championship game in that time span

Good article on the challenges Philly faces in making its rivers and creeks clean enough to swim in again…it is possible! whyy.org/articles/philadelph…
They should make a movie about the July Crisis. Endlessly fascinating characters and the most pivotal month in the history of the world

the main subject of this article is someone who:
1. was living in a mold-riddled nycha building
2. was fortunately able to be moved to a nicer, cleaner nycha building
3. now opposes the plan to fix the moldy buildings because she no longer lives there so she doesn’t care

You can't just say "the DSA candidate didn't put the DSA platform in their commercials, therefore it's bad faith trolling to claim they share those beliefs." If they disagree with the DSA that much then they should quit.
Kyle Kulinski: Centrists using Fox News talking points to attack the left, like bringing up these unpopular ideas in the DSA platform
Tim Miller: The DSA platform is crazy though, maybe just change it.
Kyle: The ones you would consider crazy like abolishing prisons or open borders—none of our candidates ran on those things. Do you agree with me that's basically a Fox News talking point that centrists are echoing against their left flank?
Tim: Yes. I agree with that in part.
Overheard at my South Philly watering hole: “I used to be a Marxist, but abolishing prisons is fucking stupid”

We know public meetings are disproportionately attended by a certain kind of meeting-inclined person; interesting proposal here to allow broader behavioral data to meet public input requirements:
🚨 Updated version of Transportation for the Abundant Society (with Jonathan Levine) now posted. It’s our answer to the question, what does “abundance” mean in the context of transportation policy? We think it’s distinct from domains like housing. Feedback welcome.

But have you just considered asking them to stop?
A Red Line passenger asked him to stop smoking pot on a North Side train.
Prosecutors say he broke the man’s nose.
Weeks later, he allegedly attacked and tried to rob a CTA employee at the Clinton Green Line station.

Listen, just my opinion, but I’d wager that the overwhelming majority of YIMBYs do not support mass deportations. In fact, I’d imagine that a super majority are strictly opposed to the concept entirely.

feels like there's kind of an elephant in the room with this map but I can't quite put my finger on it
To note, the TOD law being considered by Council wouldn’t have an effect on single family zoned properties, meaning properties further away from the subway would be the primary beneficiaries. Make it make sense!
The debate over what kind of development we should see on South Broad Steet - atop one of our only two subway lines - will only get more intense if City Council moves to enact transit oriented development zoning overlays down there: inquirer.com/real-estate/hou…
