This appears to be a domestic dispute between a father and son. If this info is right, it could happen anywhere and thus not indictive of how shitty 12th and Snyder is. And it is shitty.

That’s not really a shitty corner at all. Broad & Snyder is the only truly shitty intersection in that neighborhood.

Snyder Avenue is like a skid mark across all of South Philly and Broad and Snyder it the butthole.

13th to 10th is the best part probably.

Snyder sucks mostly because it is a heavily used arterial road. As far as perception of safety, speaking from East of Broad, it only really sucks at B&S and between 8th and 5th. Otherwise I would define it as okay.

It's still a skid mark.

10th to 13th is the best, 4th to Front and 15th to 18th are OK. It's interesting how it just carves up a good spot too, like you can have nice areas on both sides of Snyder but Snyder Ave gonna Snyder.

Oregon is huge and arterial and doesn't have the same issues. I think all the poop is leaking out the asshole on Broad and Snyder. Between the subway and Wedge, plus the homeless colony and the junkie store that buys food stamps and the rows of empty businesses, it's a disaster.

When I was a kid, there was n open air market on that stretch of Broad where they sold bootleg DVDs, cologne, and stolen sneakers and those guys kept it clean as hell and chased away the riff raff. When the city made them leave, it got ugly again.

I walk on both frequently and I would honestly say I dislike Oregon much more than Snyder. Not exactly nominating either street for beautiful corridor of the year either though.

Yeah Oregon is like 10x more frightening to walk on with the insane lanes and dangerous intersections. At least Snyder has trees

Zillow thinks the house where it happened is worth 400k.

Houses around the corner are smaller and going for 350. I believe it

Looking at the pictures and it is really nice. Don’t think I could ever live right on Snyder Ave though.

Snyder's busy but those blocks between 13th and 10th are typically fine.
