Reply to comment by PhillyAccount in Analysis | Are Philadelphia and Boston really the most neighborly cities in America? by PhillyAccount

I moved here in August last year, and when I say people here are the nicest I have met, they look at me like I am crazy.

Most people here are incredibly sweet and will help a complete stranger. They also are a lot friendlier than what I have found in many other states where I have lived.

As someone who moved from florida I can second this. I was so nervous moving here with the reputation of the people here, but my god the people here are just so much more friendly. In Florida there’s so many mean and nasty people, and tons of fake people too. Here, even when just talking to people while I was working retail, it mostly seemed genuine and nice. Sure there’s a lot more straightforwardness, but that’s so much better than vague disapproval.

Yeah the people here are just going to yell at someone being a prick. I feel like our rep is mostly from entitled jerks who aren’t used to being told to fuck off.

Same for me, from SoCal. People in my hometown more POLITE but in terms of friendly, it's hard to beat Philly.

People here are incredibly neighborly. And sometimes we all come together, as neighbors, to punch a police horse or take part in a riot

Interesting. I also moved here the same month and I’ve had the opposite experience. That’s awesome yours is better though!
