This place is in denial. Camden, NJ across the creek was once again named the “Most Dangerous City in America” last month. They were outraged! Had the local PR machine working overtime. But at the end of the day, they were still the most dangerous city in America. Philly and Camden combined is a war zone. Street and Johnson just don’t want to talk about it. As Mayor Street recently stated “The brothers and sisters are now running this city”. They can have it. White flight is at an all time high.
Can't be as bad as it was in the 1960s and 1970s when whole swaths of North and West Philly went black overnight.
Philly's main problem is that it is a HAS BEEN city. It doesn't even attract immigrants. Meanwhile, up I-95 New York thrives.
