The difference between Seattle( I know more about Seattle)
and Phila. is that most of their residents are college graduates
while that is far from the case here. And you think
(from another post of yours)that we need to maintain
our working class. Well... no we don't because  that's
part of this city's problem. We have too many, uneducated,
unskilled, semi-illiterate people who can't think. I'm not
talking about electricians, or plumbers or carpenters...
people who valuable skills but all the rest who don't.

What we need are more college graduates, a conduit to
keep more of the ones who do graduate from our
local colleges here and the kinds of jobs that will
keep them here.

'Course the other thing that makes us different than
Seattle and Portland is I bet they are basically
white cities in that the black/minorities populations
are small while Phila. is almost half black. That is
those cities are whiter hence richer as a result.
