I suspect Alan Domb would get tons of pushback from the socialist taking over Philly government. Last summer, I had a socialist canvassing for the Dem primaries show up at my door begging me to vote for anyone but Domb. She then proceeded to tell me she was against the tax abatements, has 7 cats, is a grad student studying philosophy, and wants Philly to provide houses for everyone. I told her to look at the schools, roads, and trash as the city can’t do the basics right but less manage housing. Anyways, the point is he’d have lots of pushback, though I’d love to see him run.

Make Squilla has been a great ward leader for us. I’d be interested in seeing him run.

Kenney did a pilot to expand last year which consisted of a truck they spent a million on and then it was oversized and couldn’t fit down many streets in the pilot zones. When neighborhoods have tried to start their own street cleaning, Kenney shut it down saying it was hurting the unions.

So think about that. The city wouldn’t provide this basic service that every other major city has nor would they let neighborhoods do it themselves. Absolutely shameful.
If this is how you respond to good news...
