It has nothing to do with the existence of jobs, there are over a million jobs in greater Philly. It has everything to do with crime - nobody with the freedom and means to move will remain in a cesspool like this to be lorded over by these little self appointed tyrants. There are jobs wherever there is justice, and there is no justice here. There isn't any justice because just men don't bother to rule the place. They don't bother to rule the place because they might be called names for doing so, which means pansies need not apply. And the rest just don't give a damn.

It's basically like Lord of the Flies. People who are left to their own devices and resort to self-serving sin and corruption. Put a wall around it and film it like a reality series. Cops on Steroids.

As one cop told me once about the drug problem in his town "One shipment of lethal cocaine and heroin would do wonders for our fair city".

"nobody with the freedom and means to move will remain in a cesspool like this "

That's an interesting statement. If they are not free to leave, why not? Are they being held hostage? Where are the police?

No means? I would leave everything I own to walk, crawl, roll, use a wheel chair, anything to leave a place like that.

Are they simply stupid? Not trying to be trite, but I don't get it. NOTHING other than physically being held against my will would keep me there.

So, does that mean that the people there are only criminals, druggies who don't want help, and idiots?

A major point, said better than I have been able to produce.
