A trolley is not a teleporter. You can easily walk to CHOP & the VA from like 42nd & Baltimore.
And if all you really cared about was access to CHOP and the VA (which I don't really think is what's driving the University City gentrification anyway), and you lived far out on Baltimore, you could just as well be in the suburbs and take a train in.

A feather's not a bird, but the trolley goes AT LEAST as far west as 58th and Baltimore (certainly in the hood), and goes about as far west as possible to Delaware County (its closest point: Yeadon) without going into it. And my point about the trolley was really that once someone exits as far to the east as possible, they can catch the Lucy Green Loop buses.

What does that have anything to do with selling paintings on the streets?

Not necessarily, but I'm not responsible for reading the original post in detail. Just don't have time, sorry.
