Philadelphia is officially the most dangerous city in America

The homie Jameer Nelson made it out

People keep saying the pandemic is responsible for the uptick in crime, and it is definitely a factor, but lots of the gentrification and random crime across the city seemed to start accelerating during the end of the second Nutter term and definitely since Kenney's been in office.

I seen that . I knew the writing was on the wall when they were trying to revamp Cecil B Moore near the Temple campus by having the movies and etc. While this was a good thing because we needed more things to do in the city, but then they started slowly but surely spreading gentrification within neighborhoods Then I found out that one of the hospitals that saved my life (Crohn's Disease):

Closed down a year or so ago. This is some scary shyt because it seems blatant that the fix is in to put all the black/ricans furthers into the depths of poverty and lack of growth, while the New Philadelphia is slowly coming to past.

It really feels like a Civil War that has no guidance other than self destruction and further madness on a financial level.

Philadelphia is the 5th largest city in the country by square miles and population.

1. NYC
2. Los Angeles
3. Chicago
4. Phoenix (only because they expanded their city limits and included more people)
5. Philadelphia

It's the second-largest east coast city. There are about 6-7 million people who live in the surrounding areas and about 2 million that live in town.

Philadelphia is going through a massive gentrification war. The local government and banking private sector along with private cac-led real estate groups have conspired to make property in areas where black and brown people live as cheap as possible so real estate investors can scoop it up cheaply and rehab it with bank loans to serve the millenial and gen z cac populations who want to work, live and play in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia is gentrifying faster than San Francisco.

All the colored areas are places where working-class black and latino people have lived for decades. They are very close to the Center City district and white people are salivating for those properties.

These properties are perfect destinations for New Yorkers who have been chased out of New York due to the cost of living but still want an urban feel. They look at Philly the same way they look a Brooklyn. They think it's a borough. And if you are an affluent C-Suite white couple with a $240k combined salary, it's nothing to buy a brand new 3-story row home with a roof deck.

They can easily afford the monthly Amtrak pass and catch a 45 minute Acela train to New York to work if they have to...

Of course, you have to remove the black people living in these homes so developers can rebuild new ones. How do you remove the black and brown people?

1. Elect officials that will look the other way:
(Philly elected their first white mayor in decades not too long ago. He's quietly behind this, but the media won't cover it)

Ironically, Philadelphia Magazine just wrote a scathing article about how he "doesn't care about black people."

2. Hire street teams of desperate, compromised, drug-addicted people to terrorize the hard working citizens

(Very underrated step. QUIETLY, there are developers and investors who pay crack heads and manipulated informants to do dirty work. They'll pay a group of 3-4 misguided black boys to bust windows out of cars of hard working black people living on the block. THEY WILL. This has happened. It bewilders the neighbors and the community. They will rob people, threaten people, etc. All to indirectly force the black inhabitants out.)

3. Cut programs and benefits

4. Declare long-winded construction of public transportation

https://www.westphillylocal.com/202...l-to-close-for-17-days-beginning-this-friday/

West Philly is black people what Harlem is to black people. When you close the main corridor of public transportation from West Philly into Center City where people WORK, it's massively inconvenient.

5. Flood the block with drugs and weapons

6. Overpolice some areas, underpolice others

And there you have it... Philadelphia.

I think this should be a thread in and of itself.

This on point breh..

Is the politicians asking for funding for community outreach programs?

You not breh.. A shyt load of these beefs off PPP disputes.. You owe someone some money and you get a $20k come up and don't pay your debt.. AND the PPP program made the address public of all its recipients.. This violence never going to stop without the community being the front runners of the change..

It closed right near the start of the pandemic too, when medical services were desperately needed. The city asked to rent it out from the owner Joel Freedman, but they couldn't afford his rates. So it sits unused and all the people it served (mostly black/latino people) were shuffled off to other hospitals around the city. Hurts my heart every time I pass by. A lot of good, non-wealthy people of all races across the city are suffering, and it doesn't seem like any relief is in sight.

I have a feeling the same shyt is happening in chicago. let all the terrorize the black neighborhoods to drive them out, then the gentrfying come swoop in and buy up all the land and property for pennies on the dollar.

especially here, cuz the north side and downtown are already too congested and full of people.
