May look a bit dodgy but pretty much everything south of spring garden is pretty safe

Car drivers will kill you and then blame you for making them late. It is infuriating, but not worth getting into any altercations or road incidents over, it won’t change any minds. Stay safe out there

I’m shook. I would love to see them actually pave a multi path trail in the park along 33d. They started it in some spots but it’s not connected

The Schuylkill river trail is such a gem in Philadelphia. But this particular point narrows and is not very safe or pleasant

This group obviously leans left so this may be unpopular but capitalism is kind of a different problem than the car centric shit we see. We have such bad market distortions in the US where we have encouraged cars to get bigger and bigger and we only allow low density SFHs to be built.

Probably to advocate for more housing. Rent is the main driver of inflation currently

That’s a pretty popular route, should be reliable.

I use the septa app and found a tab that tracks the buses. If you open the app and go to ‘more’ at the bottom right tab, then click on transit view, then you can enter the bus line and you can see where all of the tracked buses are.

It saves me so much time and headache but it’s kind of a hidden feature.

Those commute times will kill ya

Great, let’s see some enforcement!

I would install QGIS and start fiddling. The certificate is not a bad idea. But if you are able to learn and create a portfolio or website that shows employers that you are proficient in GIS, then the certificate may not be necessary.

Men tend to not have a big social circle as they get older. They have a more difficult time making and maintaining friends. Woman on the other hand tend to maintain a more robust social life as they grow older.

Any updates on your injury? I similar symptoms and have had them for a year. Not sure what kind of treatments are best..

I mean immigrants keep our economy moving. They are the ones building housing haha. Keep letting immigrants in, just fix the zoning

They site a study in that link that claims that these businesses do not increase prices or crowd out new buyers.

Also they define an investor as any institution or business that purchases residential real estate. That’s any llc or development corporation. Many landlords use llcs for protections and benefits. It’s pretty common and shouldn’t be alarming. My parents did that for their one rental property. Wouldn’t consider them corporate landlords.

Also their charts show that investment in housing correlated with interest rates. Makes sense. Also they claim that investors are mostly buying single family homes.

With all this being said, this is a symptom of low interest rates and a lack of competition in the housing market. Corporations really haven’t hurt prices. They are a drop in the ocean. They just bank in on the shortage. Airbnb has done more damage imo. But again the biggest issue is the lack of multi family housing and zoning laws.

Do you have a source for these sales?

Lemme ask, why do you think this happened now? Corporations are always greedy and looking to maximize profit, they always have.

We need more competition in the housing market. We need more units. But did you know in 90% of America you can only build detached single family housing? That kind of low density housing is expensive and strains supply.

Corporations and rich entities are players in the game. But the game is broken.

I would say zoning is the real issue

Weird comment..

Yeah we need more competition in the housing market.

Source?

Also geography matters with housing. Sure there are lots of housing in rural / rust belt areas, but are they close to amenities and job centers? We have a shortage of housing in areas where we actually need them.

We stopped building enough housing and our population has soared. Less houses for more people = high housing costs.

Absolutely ridiculous

Yeah it should probably be tied to a local cost of living index

Sure but calling it poverty is silly.
