This is the poorest of the 10 largest cities in America, lets not forget. we shouldnt discuss this as if Philadelphia is light years away from understanding detroit's plight. losing almost 600k people in 50 years is nothing to sneeze at......

Looking at Philly Wiki, the highest population Philly has was 1950 2,071,605
If we would have held that population + growth we would be #2 or #3 in Biggest population in the US
2019 population
#1 NYC 8,336,817
#2 LA 3,979,576
#3 Chicago 2,693,976
#4 Houston 2,320,268
#5 Phoenix 1,680,992
#6 Philadelphia 1,584,064
If we were #2 how powerful would Philly be and how would we have worked with NYC?
