Cars parked on sidewalk are like raisins in a chocolate chip cookie, just not the place for them, I don't want any

So then please inform me, how much taxes does a surface level parking lot bring in as compared to a garage with retail or housing above it?

I don't know what else to say other than you're making it blatantly obvious that you know very little about urban planning. Not trying to be mean.

Here's a discord for Rittenhouse/Philly chess https://discord.gg/QRJBKDKw

Conservative yet also want to defund the police?

Even if they give em away the HOA is like $4k a month

Yeah. University City and Market East stationd too

It gets so crowded down there after sporting events. I really do not understand why they don't put Express trains down low and local trains up top for crowd control and organization

Google/Apple pay doesn't need to handle transfers. It just needs to tell the reader what SEPTA key account is being scanned.

There's a doubleheader at the Palestra this year. Games there are awesome. Drexel also plays Penn this year (closest stadiums in NCAA sports). They used to play every year but had a little spat because Drexel wanted to alternate stadiums, but Penn wanted it permanently at the Palestra. St. Joe's games aren't bad either. Haven't been to Gola and it's been a while since I got to Liacouras. The Dac and Hogan feel like glorified high school gyms but they have a charm like that. Whenever it's a Big 5/City 6 game it's always a great time.

Recruiting is also interesting in Philly. With some of the best high school prospects in the country, Villanova gets first dibs, but they're so good they might only want one or two top ones. The next best locals usually will pick Temple. St. Joe's/La Salle are the next picks based purely on basketball. Penn gets to wave around shiny ivy league degrees, so a completely different but every once in a while effective recruiting tool. Drexel gets the short end of the stick, since they're behind Penn in education, and also middle of the pack skill wise (they haven't been consistent bracket buster territory since 2013). So Drexel has to go national/international, however they did just get a solid local 2023 pickup I believe.

You don't even really have to adopt a team. I used to live next to the Palestra and would go to watch whoever was playing. It's a blast.
