I'm quite aware. And I'm talking to HeavenWood about you. If you're still confused, I'll clarify.

Corporate and industries experience in this very field, frank? Do you have any idea how many people on this forum alone could try to say the same things you do based on their "experience" in the work world? Yet they don't... do they?

Are you serious right now?
Sure I am serious. Just like you can't think like a parent when you don't have a child. When I did not own a home I could not think like one either.

It's quite obvious who you're talking to and who you're talking about.

What you seem to be confused about though is that you were responding to HeavenWood as if he had been talking about me thus making your comment about me nonsensical given that it appears that you're talking about soug by the post you quoted and responded to.

25 years in an urban neighborhood, over half of which were spent in a neighborhood that sheltered people like you would classify as "ghetto" because you don't know what ghetto actually is. 25 years of other experience that sheltered people like you only read about.

Your 26 years in the Northeast after growing up in Bucks County trumps my ACTUALLY GROWING UP in an urban neighborhood that is well known for fighting and being "white trash" among more sheltered suburbanites? Really?

People like you force people like me to speak about things because you have no problem whatsoever speaking for or as an authority on a city you're not from nor one that you have lived in any part of but the Northeast or have lived in any part of in how many years now? I don't like doing that, but I'm sick of seeing people from the outside dictating the conversation when I'm much less sheltered about certain things than they are. I would much prefer to have the people actually living in or from the city dictate the conversation than say anything about it myself. That's the difference between you and I, frank.

Maybe then but they've been poaching from Philadelphia for decades now. And you don't call a company being lured there as "poaching"?
Subaru was not lured. That was not done at that time. The site was empty & on the market & it worked for them. Cherry Hill was still semi-rural. Businesses that moved into Cherry Hill primarily were from Camden. They left Camden as Camden continued to crumble. If you want to consider that poaching, be my guest, but it's a fairy-tale that you are trying to sell to others. The only thing that I know of that came from Philadelphia was Vlasic & Mrs. Pauls (moved as a single unit), Their offices were moved into an office park at Rt 70 & Cuthbert Road after Campbells acquired them. Cherry Hill did not lure them. Campbells moved them.

Try 15, and I said that YOU would see it as one because you don't know what ghetto actually is.

Yes, it does trump your "experience". I'm still living here, buddy. I still hang out in the same places I did growing up. I still am around all types of people from all types of backgrounds in all kinds of places.

Even the subject of this thread... I merely asked a question of "Why", and who is it that claims to be an expert on the subject? You of course. Yet again, you force me to reply to steer the conversation away from your "expert", "inside" information.

It's not a fairytale nor a fantasy. It's the history of the metro that people from more suburban parts seem to be very uncomfortable with. They didn't lure companies back then? Really? And exactly how do you think all of the jobs left the city and even the metro?
