Actually no. You city boosters are hilarious, I can use facts and statistics to prove about 90% of his post inaccurate. Also it was rude and immature. As if a 14 year old wrote it......
No you did not haha just about 90% of your post is wrong.
Exactly what nephi215 just said. You disagree with my post, but it is in no way wrong.
-Center City has better shopping than Dowontown D.C... And KOP is better than any mall in the DC area.
-DC transit is better, but also has TWICE the funding that SEPTA has
-Philly is severely underrated for biking. There are a ton of massive parks and big trails within city limits like Fairmount and Schuylkill River trail. DC has no comparison to the Wissahickon in Northwest Philadelphia. On top of that, practically every street in the core of philadelphia now has bike lanes or is bike friendly. Drivers are also much more aware of bikers in Philadelphia.
-Both Philadelphia and DC have extremely wealthy suburbs. You can't really say one is so much wealthier than the other.
-Schools in the philadelphia area, on average, are better than those in DC area
-Philadelphia has a huge selection of walkable cities and towns surrounding it, just like DC. Plus, Philadelphia itself is larger and more walkable than DC
-Center City is a better a Downtown than DC. Everyone agrees with this except DC posters
-Nightlife in Philadelphia is better than DC. DC is mostly go-go and high end social clubs. Philadelphia has real nightlife. Crazy clubs, sports bars, pubs. A place you go to dance the night away until 4am. Also, DC has no answer for Atlantic City.
-Entertianment can be subjective. They both have superb museums, theater, orchestra, etc.

Bahaha please post these facts and statistics so we can all see how right I am.

You do realize your post is highly opinionated and not factual right? No factual data or stastics to prove some of your points. I agree with you on some things such as schools, because DC public schools are pathetic and the shopping being better in the city but KOP is not better than Tysons and has the exact same amount of retail space.
Um this...the two cities are diametrically opposed to one another at their core. I have ancestors who survived Valley Forge....not hoping to create an Imperium in DC. the struggle continues.....even the idea that 200 years hence...on a thing called the Internet .....the question of Philadelphia's realation to Washington !!!!! Would even be asked?!?!
Bahaha please post these facts and statistics so we can all see how right I am.
Don't get me wrong I love Philadelphia and I think it's a great city but your post was exaggerated in some aspects. Ill post the stats and facts later since I'm on an iPhone at the moment
Philly has a better skyline and is more urban. But that's where it ends. I lived in the DC Area for 3 years and much prefer it to here. I've tried to like Philly, I really have. And some places here are nice, but the people are ratchet and unsophisticated, and this place is largely a ****hole. Washington DC has much more class (no, not "clayss" as Philadelphians tend to say).
