No not actual lolol  The violent crime keeps going up here. The Philly
Inquirer did a story on it. Fear? Tell that to an uncle , shot to death.
Tell that to me, accousted by a kid with a knife. I have personally seen two
car thefts, I have personally seen two robberies, and finally my friends
fathers shot in the neck.  Fear , pollution , actual crime, real
asthma....Is this a problem in Philly? Yes. only in Philly ? No . Are there
better places to live. YES!

Really? I probably am out way more then you in this area. From Valley Forge
to West Chester to Ocean City to Overbrook to Chester County. ( and the
parks along the way)

Philly has this reputation of being mean, at least when it comes to sports
fans. I can go on and on with this but I don't think you would agree with
whatever I say. Since I made an effort to visit other areas this year for a
short time, I am more then convinced other areas are much nicer. I
constantly see fast drivers,people making right turns with signs that say NO
TURN on Red  , people who park in handicapped zone who are not handicapped ,
people who double park at movie theatres because they can etc etc, etc.here.

Affordable housing ? Yes and good reasons for it. you get around 40 percent
of days that are not good to breathe in. Good schools? You have to be
kidding! If you really are talking about our public schools, then I know you
are not all there. . And the part about being able to vote in a swing state:
That more then any, is a reason to move here. Good Job.

I might easily handle the fear if I could turn on the tv , read a good
magazine and breathe the air,and exercise without fear or asthma but I
can't.
