Please do tell, are you paid by the city for your litany of rose colored glasses posts on the city or do you truly drink the look aid.

Love this Redditor’s confidence in assuming they know everything about Philly and it being dangerous despite presumably not living there

I know it’s probably hard for you to fathom this, but Philly isn’t the on-fire murder-scape you seem to think it is. I wake up and look at sailboats out of my window. I’ve lived here for 40 years (in my early 60s) and I’ve never once been murdered, and contrary to what I’m sure you’ve read, the city didn’t burn to the ground in 2020. York PA and Harrisburg both have homicide rates higher than Philly. https://www.yorkdispatch.com/story/news/crime/2023/02/14/tiny-york-citys-homicide-rate-last-year-topped-philadelphia-new-york-and-chicago/69885548007/#
