PHILADELPHIA | Lowrise/General Developments Thread II

[jaysb]

Random but does anyone have any recommendations for an architectural walking tour?

I was watching a YouTube video of a travel guy (Peter Santenello - good stuff) and finally watched his Philly ep (taken in early pandemic). It just confirmed what a remarkable city we have from that perspective, and after 17 years of living here I should probably do a formal tour to learn more.

I think CC is good with one District, I believe the new District encompasses Girard to Washington Ave, thats a solid police district. Now for government related activities it makes sense for this big area to be broken up into two.

A user on reddit said that this is beneficial because at a district a certain amount of officer are required to be at the station, so with this merger it allows them to have more officers on the streets, and an easier chain of command.

This should Help CC out a lot with enforcement.

Wait. Is this a real proposal? When I lived in Northern Liberties I know the neighborhood committee would get super frustrated about certain QOL issues and it was exacerbated by the fact that NoLibs is split between the 6th and 26th.

It happened Wednesday night, it's already done.

This merger has freed up 200 officers.

I know there's a new one starting up that begins in Love Park, but I don't know the details.
