Maybe they don’t want to highlight it as he would prob be a decent mayor. I thought it mentioned how much money he saves per year in abatement.

There also may be a risk that he gives sweetheart deals to Starr or developers… But he’s better than Kenney!!

I think he'd be a great mayor. What creates real estate demand? Safety, population growth, and a business-friendly environment - so even if he is acting with self-interest, we all win. He supports police, actually understands business and economics, and wants oversight of the community anti-violence groups we throw so much money at... while every other mayoral candidate proposed just giving them more: https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/commentary/philadelphia-mayoral-candidates-gun-violence-plan-20220930.html

He also proposed that city council officially declare Kensington an emergency earlier this year, and said he would do it if elected. No one else has mentioned this.

I'll probably be repeating the above a lot because I think it's more than enough reason to vote for him. I haven't seen him make any delusional statements showing a disconnect from reality like other council members, or make any ludicrously stupid decisions. Rhynhart seems good too though.
