a portion of what you are saying has truth to it
but your words suggest that you do not know philly and surely have not been here over 10 years, or maybe even 5
but you certainly do not comprehend philadelphia

here's the truth about philly
alot of people here dont seem to like to here this b/c it doesnt validate what they feel COMFORTABLE thinking

the growing cost of living (increase of condos) validates a newer growing culture of people 20-35, who feel deserving of some intagible yet shiney and self defining pretentious lifestyle. these people are edgey and guarded in need to protect their image of being psuedo-elite

this leaves those chasing that same image...those without the same education. these people are edgey and easy to snap b/c they have alot to live up to...the stars that the former mentioned people are pushing further...you will see alot of these people at the bridge movie theatre, no?

this leads to an easily dangerous social struggle driven by ego. its making life here very dangerous and overly self-focussed. the last thing that comes to ones mind is the preservation of others human life. this isnt everyone here, but i'd say 90% easy
