Wealthy people moving to an already wealthy neighborhood to send their kids to a wealthy private school helps the school district how? I love to see investment in private schools and hope that continues in MANY more neighborhoods, but again it’s not at all indicative of the rest of the city. Why not move to Francisville or Kensington? Is it because of the schools? People who don’t make a lot of money such as those living in the poorest large city in America don’t have that choice. It’s astounding you don’t see it.

If people want to move out of desirable neighborhoods because of trash and power lines then more power to em. Someone else with bigger pockets than them will move in and take their place. I’m more worried about the family trying to make it in the city who has to move out because their school is failing their child and reputable private schools are too expensive. Talk about making excuses for the city why are you letting the public school system off the hook? Don’t you want to live in a city that cares about its residents? That cares about education for everyone? That doesn’t have immense drug and poverty issues? Then screw complaining to your council person about the damn power lines from an ivory tower and get active trying to help your fellow Philadelphians. You all sound like NIMBYS get on with it and move to society hill towers already
