SoundOfPhiladelphia, there are some tough old truths to your words. A lot of people resent newcomers in this city - gentrification brings its evils but...better that than withering on the vine.
It will take seismic shifts in public thinking and leadership and nothing else to get Philadelphia moving because this city has lived the way it's lived for so long. I think the current generation will have to reach old age before things really look and feel like they're finally working because progrss is a hard road to hoe under ideal circumstances. Here, in this city and state, mountains must be moved for even the simplest differences.
