As long as you cling to the belief that more government will save you, then you're out of luck.

Google Rothbard. Study Mises. Get a clue about government economic destruction.

The biggest problem I have in Philly is that it's hard to find gloryholes. Danny's Adam and Eve covered them up, Doc Johnson's has been closed for years, and now the Tomcat bookstore closed. Aren't there any places to suck or get sucked left in Philly? It's sort of depressing.

Yes- it is depressing that people like you are so ignorant of the world around you.

It is more depressing that your sex drive overwhelms your ability to think about, or comprehend, your world.

[R65] you may be the most horrible creature on this website. Your revelry in your ignorance is typical of government parasites.

The problem is virtually no one is building low income housing, except government sponsored (AKA near 100% paid for).

The issue is it always possible to build upper income housing for pennies more and get more profit. So why build anything else? After all why put your money in a 1% account if you can get 10% interest somewhere else.

Cities agree to allow building by upper income places, in low rent areas, and require a few units to be rent controlled. Why? Because if they didn't NOTHING would be built there. Of course allowing a few rent stabilized units only helps those lucky enough to be in them. But it actually raises the area rent because the builders then charge MORE for the non-rent stabilized unit. Thus driving up the total costs of the rents in the area, even on the crappy left over housing.

Given the fact the city of Philadelphia has been under one party rule for the last 60 years, and given the fact Philadelphia City Hall is loaded with Democratic Party do-nothings and other assorted political hacks, and that even the most basic city services (PGW, trash/garbage collection, parks/recreation, schools) are complete and total shit, I'd says parts (a) and (b) of your statement have been satisfied.
Um, no, you haven't, [R61]. What you have provided is opinion, not backed up by anything resembling actual data, just as was the case in the original article. Anecdote is not data. Opinion is not data. Saying something is "complete and total shit" is not data.

She always defends government. It is sickening.
LOL.... I do love our resident ILT. The poor thing has yet to find a single post of mine that "defends government" but that is his only answer to everything I write.

[R70] is truly an idiot. Saying the Philadelphia public school system is complete and total shit is not an opinion. It's a fact shared by many. The travails of Philly public schools are daily news items and school funding, especially for Philly, is one of the reasons for the current stalemate in Harrisburg.

Since Philadelphia hasn't had a Republican mayor since 1952, and since the Democratic candidate for Mayor in the November election is running unopposed, I'd say it's pretty fair to say Philly is a one-party town.

Take your head of your fucking ass, [R70].

I love you too, [R66]. Blocked.

And I was just adding a little levity to serious thread. Maybe you're new around here, but that happens a lot. I'm a former Philadelphian who lives in the suburbs and am as concerned about Philly as anyone. It has the potential to be one of the most beautiful cities in the country, and even the current mess can't hide gems like the Parkway and the Art Museum.

Unless you are ready to cut government taxes and regulations, Philadelphia will remain a shithole.

Until you realize that government can never provide adequate service at reasonable prices, and research Mises and Rothbard, you will remain mired in ignorance.

I have only blocked one poster. How long is your blocked list?

Yep, [R70] is the crazed fascist who loves government and hates liberty.

Pointing out that the worst cities in the USA are all governed by Democratic local government officials means nothing to people who love and believe in the power of government.

If they could just elect a few more Democrats, things would be great!!!

Republicans are no better, but at least they don't believe EVERY solution means more government.
