A few visible projects in the Center City area doesn’t hide the fact that the city has lost more population (69,000) since the 2000 Census than it did in the entire previous decade (68,000). Philly continues to hemorrhage people. I suspect the recent explosion in crime is only going to accelerate that process as even many of the poorest finally give up and head out. It’s rapidly becoming a city with only the trapped poor and the rich, who can afford to pay for the extra security in Center City.

That's what 50 years of Democrat leadership gives you. Nice little rainbow signs over deserted streets.
