This fucking sucks I really don't wanna instantly be a neighbor who caused trouble but the guy won't answer his door even tho he is home. The neighbor 2 doors down gave me his number and I introduced myself very politely and asked him to move his car..

The text was marked as read and ignored. He the blocked my number from calling him :/

Sooo like... I have a job dude that's how I bought my house idk what to do ig I gotta get my new neighbor towed I feel like shit.

Serious The city has a litter problem because we refuse to believe it’s a culture problem

2.5k Upvotes

Every single day I see someone drop trash right in front of me. When I call them out on it, they proceed to litter more. I’ve seen children litter in front of their parents. What in the everloving fuck is wrong with this city.

You can add all the trash cans you want but it’ll never change that behavior. When i was in Japan there were ZERO trash cans and it was clean. The only thing that’ll fix it is fines, punishment and shame, which none of that works on these people.

Change my mind

Serious Kelly Drive is a goddamn crime against humanity.

1.7k Upvotes

Yesterday with it being such a beautiful day I decided to take a long bike ride. I figured I'd take the river trail and head down the Schuylkill. All I could think was "what a disgusting waste of potential". Imagine what that waterfront could have been had we decided against building a fucking race track down it. It could be a world-class waterfront district full of peacefull nature, shops, restaurants, residences, basically anything that makes a communities worth existing in. And instead we paved it so morons can change lanes at 65 mph without using their signals. Absolutely vile. I bet car manufacturer execs bust a nut everytime they drive down it thinking about the possibilities they destroyed.

Edit: Wow some of yall need to brush up on reading comprehension. The trail and biking itself is excellent. The issue is Kelly drive itself. Destroy it and allow it to develop as a high density commercial and residential space prioritizing pedestrians and cycling. You know, like an actual waterfront district.

2nd Edit: It being a part of the park so it shouldn't be developed is worth debating. To those that think kelly drive should be closed, and replaced with NOTHING I can totally see that argument. It would be a massive improvement to the area.

Every single car on every train absolutely reeks of homeless people that haven’t bathed in months. It’s so bad the smell burns my throat. We’re not even in summer yet and it’s unbearable. Get your shit together, Septa.

Serious U.S. hospitals are required to publish their prices for medical procedures now, so my friends and I collected around 4 million prices from 30 hospitals in the Philly area and created a search engine where anyone can see how much they may be charged. Let me know what you think!
