It could be worse for sure. This is one time where we should be grateful that Center City is so heavily residential. The vacancies will be filled. We just need a mayor that has some balls and would do something about the homelessness, the dirt bike riders, etc.

True. Things are unfortunately so unpredictable as of late - there are positive and negative indicators, but sometimes it feels like trying to read tea leaves. Since we are at this point, I think it’s important more now than ever to get involved and get the city to focus on these quality of life issues - there’s power in numbers.
