Pretty awesome to see sizable projects concurrently going up on 42nd, 43rd, 44th, and 45th and Chestnut but good lord these windows look ludicrously tiny, shame on them for not sticking to the original design.
There are QOL issues that exist in Center City, but yes, overall a safe environment, and a far cry from the anti-city fear mongering narrative.
And I'm glad the Inquirer reported on a positive statistic for once.
