But this isn't just any neighborhood in Philadelphia. It's not a rowhome community of single family homes in East Passyunk or Strawberry Mansion or Cobbs Creek, it is the densest area in one of the densest cities in America at the most public transit connected intersection in the country outside of New York and Chicago. 15 regional rail lines, 5 El stops within a 10 minute walk, Patco, Broad Street Line 2 blocks away and BSL Ridge spur at 8th and Market. And then walkable to hundreds of thousands of people.

Chinatown fought the Phillies stadium at 12th and Vine and it's still a dump. But ironically they are for capping 676 which would gentrify Chinatown almost immediately. To be clear, 676 should be capped. I just find it to be hypocritical.
