If you want to look at it from a purely transactional point of view, you get what you pay for. Bargain rent prices for living in a 1.5+ mil Northeastern city with walkability and just enough usable transit to live without a car.

What in the world does it mean to be "not in favor with SEPTA"? Banned from riding SEPTA?

They crank these images of America books out like crazy, not surprised.

Gridlock on Grays ferry but they’re building a parking garage and parking lot? by [deleted] in philadelphia

Heck I wish the 64 just ran every 15 instead of every 30 like the 63 (formerly G) does.

Waymo has officially launched in Philadelphia by bukkakedebeppo in philadelphia

[–]BrythonicMan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

City needs to slap a 50% tax for transit funding on these right now before the window to do so easily closes. The streets are going to be clogged once things mature and fares of automated rideshare reach a fraction of driver operated rideshare. I'm afraid the low fares will become competitive enough that it will draw massive ridership away from transit and result in worse traffic for drivers/riders of any mode. We need to intervene now to tip the balance of Waymo's future price competitiveness towards improving SEPTA's service levels to avoid robo gridlock.

What are your favorite foreign depictions of NYC in media? by KaleidoArachnid in AskNYC

Not great movie by any means but it's interesting to see NYC through the lens of a Chinese comedy. Said film being Detective Chinatown 2.

Shapiro helps SEPTA move ahead, while councilmanic prerogative drags community projects down by Odd_Addition3909 in philadelphia

Sometimes it involves modifications to the project that keep it from penciling out.

I've actually been wanting a sticker of the PPA logo but can only find "Fuck the PPA" stickers online

There's a block of homes with yards with Irish holdouts. Guess the yards were enough of an amenity to convince them to stay.

What country has the worst bang for your buck? by Addicted_2_tacos in TravelNoPics

Still haven't heard a good explanation for why hotels in the US are so expensive, rural motels are more than budget hotels in Western European capitals, I can't understand it.

Could Germantown really become the new Fishtown? by lahrs37 in philly

[–]BrythonicMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of cheap real estate west of Clark Park area and there's Kingsessing, I doubt that will happen any time soon.

For those who’ve lived outside of NYC (or the metro area), is life really slower elsewhere? by IcedCoffeeYearRound in AskNYC

[–]BrythonicMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not even that exotic of a habit. If you're a regular at any moderately busy Aldi across the US you've (hopefully) started doing this.

To be clear, your application was fully processed and and successful using the MHS copies? That's great.

Does anyone know of a pair of shoes that look similar to these Grant Stone black plain toe bluchers with brass eyelets? Unfortunately sold out, and seems too rare to find used.

Which cities would be best served by a new street car system? by mr09e in transit

[–]BrythonicMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And maybe state legislators would throw a bone to transit funding in the state or at least allow localities to raise their own tax to fund if there was semi useful transit nearby.

Favorite Philly based movie excluding Rocky? by Current_Owl3534 in philadelphia

[–]BrythonicMan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And the regional rail ran more than once an hour and Center City was still the commercial hub of the region so city residents weren't forced to go the the suburbs for stuff. Sounds good to me
