Philadelphia is a shythole

[BigMan]

I'm almost positive you and I have talked Philly neighborhoods before.

One thing to consider...Philly hasn't changed it's boundaries since the 1800's. All of the cities that are creeping up on Philly have...repeatedly.

There's multiple things to consider when taking into account a cities size, and for that reason I use the city limits, and not the metro area. Philly is the third densest metro area and has been for some time. Philly is 143 SQ miles...Phoenix is 450 SQ miles. This represents 11K people per SQ mile vs 3K people per SQ mile. Phoenix amongst other cities are in this irrational urban sprawl...it's city limits are ...of course it's going to eventually be bigger. But there are parts of Phoenix that don't even resemble anything like a city.

Completely agree with Philly attracting young professionals who eventually leave. Maybe they should expand their boarders like all of these other cities...I know the surrounding counties would hear nothing of it tho...So Philly can't grow...it's anemic in a sense in that it's infrastructure is not akin to growth, yet it can't share the wealth of the surrounding counties unlike these other cities.

EDIT: According to this article, from the same site you are quoting, dated after your article, it lists Philly as number 6. But it also explains the same logic I am referring to. Look at the growth, where Philly doesn't change it's borders at all.

Philly slips from fifth to sixth, as Phoenix rises

Philly will grow especially since NYC and DC are so expensive. its peak population was 2 mill so it has plenty of room to grow with out destroying neighborhoods

It's people on here that never stepped a foot in Philly talkin shyt about it like they have. It's good to be hated

I'm positive it will too as real estate is so much cheaper, and you can commute to both those cities on the train in 90 minutes.

I've known plenty of people who do it currently.

Not really. Outside of Hip Hop, comparisons to NY, and the occasional street fukkery, Philly isn’t really talked about that much on here.

I was actually being nice when I said 3 months. Between the Locker Room and the Booth it might be every two weeks that I see a thread tryna shyt on Philly. It's corny.

 

[BigMan]

Damn I kind of wanted to check it out given its history, majority black population, and affordability...

if you don't like DC or NYC you'll defintely not like Philly

 

[Poitier]

if you don't like DC or NYC you'll defintely not like Philly

Both of those are cool
I just saw Philly being called underrated on here for years but now yall saying its trash so idk

 

[Mr.Big Meat McGee]

I remember passing through Philadelphia on the way to NY as a kid shyt looked grimey and dutty as hell.

i'd put it at #3 out of the Northeast cities

It's proximity to the shore is a Pro imo..

Even if Atlantic City has gone downhill, people forget about Wildwood and Morey's Pier(Adult and kids),Ocean City for your kids,Seaside Heights.

I can't agree with that

I go to Temple so I see all the baddest bytches on the daily but center city has bad bytches too. Also my viet ex was from South Philly. Not sure where everyone is seeing all these rough jawns, although I'll admit those are typical in north and west philly

Bruh you go to a big college. temple and center city is where you're going to see majority of the transplants/students. You saying maybe north philly or west like they different breeds...like bruh, those ARE the philly women. Thats the majority of the city population right there lol especially black folks

South philly is pretty much all white folks. And the chicks is majority snookie shaped white broads who drink every weekend at xfinity

Uptown and northeast got the most diversity but it aint really nothing to go crazy over.

Nightlife is mainly Jersey or Delaware hoes unless you going to local/hood bars. I have years of frustration to prove it.

I hate the city but I seen more baddies in 2 days in new york than weeks in philly. I'm just keeping it a bean

 

[AuntAnniesPretzels]

why does it suck that NYC doesn't have those groups? what do they bring?
i got fam where all the Liberians stay in SI. there's a lot of Messicans in SI now too.

there is no black neighborhood in NY where Dominicans "overran". not one.

The Bronx is overan with Spanish. Stop the fukking flexing. Stay in NY with your skinny jeans, immigrants who say nikka freely, your garbage football team (headlined by your star homosexual wife receiver), your hipsters, your pedophile and former stripper rappers and obsession with light skin exoticals

Men still act like men here in Philly and 19 year olds can provide for their families right out of HS and cop spacey cribs in safe areas while at it if they’re willing to put the work in. No degree needed. Meanwhile 32 year old NY nikkas are living like rats in closets paying out the ass just so they can holla at Spanish speaking light skin exoticals and spend all their disposable income at bodegas while the owner of these establishments call you cocolo when with their family and laugh at the fact that you clown ass NYC nikkas don’t even own the businesses in your own communities

Oh and fukk you too nikka @Rice'N Beckford

Ain’t nobody checking for fukking DC culturally outside of the coli, you got government jobs and Africans who are on that with AAs. That’s it. You’ve contributed absolutely nothing to contemporary AA culture. Just a bunch of swagless cornballs
