Reply to comment by Rivster79 in D.C.’s police department is recruiting in Philly, offering a $20k hiring bonus. The Philadelphia Police Department isn’t worried. by redeyeblink

I saw these ads the other day on a zipcar depot on broad and thought the exact same thing.

Good luck commuting like 2 hours to work from outside the beltway because there's no way they could afford or desire to live anywhere in actual DC.

To be fair, we are the ones in an inverted bubble. Philly is the most affordable large east coast city, even though it doesn’t feel that way at times.

We like to complain, but we have it pretty damn good here.

Citynerd did a video about this. Crime is factored into home prices, and excessively so. Meaning you can find a great deal by moving into a safe neighborhood in a city with a reputation for crime.
