If an area gets more desirable, the cost of living will go up. If an area is bad, the cost of living will go down due to less demand. Which would you rather see for Philly?

i mean i'd rather everyone eats and everyone has a house, personally. but i was just answering your question. the benefit of philadelphia over the other northeast corridor cities is that you get nice, good shit but you can also afford to live here (not in a shoebox) with regular people money. that is and always has been the deal here.

Ideally, I agree too. That’s what I love about my current neighborhood, it’s a great combination of folks from all walks of life.
