Northwest section of the City vs the Northeast section (Philadelphia: low income, 2013)

I was thinking the same thing. clearly many of the posters here don't know the 1st thing about the Northeast, especially the differences between different neighborhoods. That's what happens when you spend all your time in an isolated, out of the way area like the Northwest.

LOL

I've spent plenty of time in the Northeast. The best cheesesteak I've had was at Steve's, the best fish platter at Famous (the non-4th Street variety), the best cheesecake at Aramingo. I can't say John F. Byrne is the world's greatest golf course (or Pennypack the city's best park, though it is up there). Actually, come to think of it, I spend more time in the Northeast than the Northwest, c/o my Pine Valley born-and-raised cousins.

Overall though, I prefer the Northwest for a variety of previously stated reasons. That doesn't mean I "hate" the Northeast or don't think it's "worthy" of visiting.

Actually, yours was one of the most idiotic entries in this thread.

The Northwest has more water? That comment alone made you look foolish.

I agree that a lot of "Northwest enthusiasts" could use additional education on the Northeast as a whole. While I think the vast majority of them would still prefer the Northwest corner of the city, increased knowledge of Philadelphia's largest geographic region would help some realize that the Northeast not only still serves a valuable purpose, but has merits of its own worthy of exploration by non-neighborhood residents.

People are making sweeping generalizations about two vast geographic areas of the city. It all depends on the neighborhood within the Northeast or Northwest. Most of the posts in this thread just prove that the majority of people on this forum know virtually nothing about Philadelphia.

Well, I think it's fair to say that the plurality of neighborhoods within either section fit a general archetype. The "Northeast" is also better split into "Near" and "Far" subtypes (I know a fair amount about the latter, but relatively little concerning the former).

That's a baseless generalization. Fox Chase and Castor Gardens are the same? East Germantown is just like Chestnut hill? Ridiculous.

Who made these comparisons? I have not seen them.

You do understand that "plurality" means the "largest proportion" falling short of a majority, correct? A set of characterizations applying to 30% of a set can be a plurality.
