The nice thing about Philly is if you stick around to the center and the adjacent "interesting" areas, you'd never realize how decayed parts of the city are. In fact, I found parts of the centers of Seattle and San Francisco a bit sketchier than the center of Philly.
Interesting that there's low housing availability in such a vacant city.
It certainly says something about the limits of suburban-CBD separation. It works while the city is thriving, but in weak economic times the lack of CBD housing starves the city. Like a Roman city without walls, there's no "core" to fall back to in times of urgency.

I've wondered if I would end up in a cardboard box in Detroit when I retire. But the shipping container is a step up.
