misrepresentation of what .... OMG this is unreal .... there's nothing for me to misrepresent .... Philadelphia is the Poorest Big City in America, end of story. I took it straight from the horses mouths. Two sources of media confirmed this, it goes directly against the claim Shakeesha made about Philadelphia doing better than Pittsburgh. It's NOT!

Look I'm sorry if PBS members have a hard time with truths about Philadelphia .... The majority of CvC seems to be filled with PBS personnel now. But when the lone news Paper, and the Mayor admit to the stark realization of the ills of Philly, there no pulling anything out of my a**, its all right there, anyone can read.

The Inquirer and Nutter have nothing to gain by nonfactual bash their city.... They admit to the real Philly, unlike the PBS here.

What is PBS?

it's part of why you see so many "______ vs. Philadelphia" threads on here. There's many a Trolls that will start those threads just to bring out the PBS members, and they come flying in every time.

They Misrepresent Data, Make up their own Facts, totally marginalize the "Other" City as being less than ... In order to Prop Philly up as some sort of NYC type heavyweight.

They do a real Dis-service to the City of Philly, because their ad-nauseam Boosting of Philly, makes objective people here kind of Hate Philly, even though they no nothing about Philly, but its really all the Philly Boosting that they hate. So to a PBS member, you become a Philly Hater, like Summersm/RightonWalnut ... absolutely any opposing criticism of Philadelphia gets you branded a Philly Hater.

Philly has women. in spades. off the charts. insane. most underrated. in Philly, everyone walks and walks and walks and walks. It's what they do. Makes the women toned. I like this. I also like Fargo, ND, Greenville, NC, and Fayetteville AK... but that's for other threads.
Pitt not sure what you call that. but she sure loves them hot dogs.
is it politically unacceptable to say this and risk offending someone?

"Philly Booster Squad." (lol) I'm from Philly, love my hometown. It has many things I love, some I like, some I don't like, and some I absolutely hate. Sometimes people can embellish their positive views of it and then there are those who choose to bash it without facts or even a visit for whatever reason. Either way it's been in a better position (to a certain extent) than when it was when I left 20 years ago..Trust me it was worse.

It'll still be another decade for it to reach "World Class" status, so to speak and that will be based on job growth and school improvements just to start. I mean job growth for the working class of semi skilled and even unskilled labor. When I moved in the late 90's there were MORE blue collar jobs in the city at that time. People didn't have to head 15-25 miles outside the city as much.

You sound bitter. Stay mad. Philly will continue to be great.

Like I said any critisim of Philly and you bring'em out ...

Sweetkisses - not bitter, sorry that realism sound like bitterness. Maybe I would too gullably buy into the PBS Fatasy of Philly if I didnt live there myself.

Is there a reason many of you participate feverantly on CvC but barely touch the actually Philly subforums??? Is it because many of the Philly homers there wont buy your guys "Philly is all Roses" BS either.

you are the troll here. Your only response was "Philly has the highest rate of poverty out of the 10 biggest cities". Thats a pretty pathetic argument about why Pittsburgh is so much better..

I am one of the more frequent users, where does anyone of us "misrepresent facts and make them up"? It really upsets you that much that Pittsburgh's growth is basically a net zero and Philly's isn't? Because that's all those articles said before your ridiculous response.

Anyway...

One big difference between Philly and Pittsburgh is that Philadelphia is it's own County. Pittsburgh is a city in Allegheny County. Philadelphia only receives additional funding from the state and federal governments. Pittsburgh receives funding from the county level also.

Sweetkisses - not bitter, and not insecure about my city either, i acknowledge its strengths and its flaws. Maybe I would too gullably buy into the PBS Fatasy of Philly if I didnt live there myself.

I didnt say Pittsburgh was better.... again, but Philly definitely not an overachiever against Pittsburgh. Sorry its not. That a problem with the PBS you guys hear what you want to hear.

Pathetic Argument??? Really... I'd say it was pretty valid seeing that it comes straight from Philadelphia media source and the Mayor himself. Because YOU dont want to hear it doesnt make it less valid and "pathetic"

"Philadelphia is the Impovished Big City in America" ... Per the Philadelphia Inquirer and Mayor Michael Nutter, himself. Sorry PBS, you can't get around those proclamations.

....right. So you want me to say there are a lot of poor people in Philadelphia? Does that make the troll feel better?

Again. so poor people are the biggest negative you can have? Damn. You are something. You can repeat it again on here, most of us don't care. Chicago and DC maybe more "wealthier" than us as a whole, but the murder rate was still lower!
