Stay away.

City of Brotherly Love? Not at all. There's a "Me First" "They can wait" attitude. You see it in the way they drive, you see it in passing walking down the street. There is so much gun violence and it's getting younger and younger. It's common to hear about a 15 getting shot or a woman. These shootings are happening in broad daylight, in public places where cops are supposed to be patrolling. There is no fear of consequences, no respect or value of another's life. It seems like everyday you hear about gun violence. A 15 year girl just got killed, 7 people were shot close to a University, they just shot 2 people at a cemetery in the county as a retaliation from a Philly shooting a few days prior and a month before that the priest said there was a shooting in front of his church...No one cares here. It's all about self. Of course you'll find some people who aren't like that but overall the vibe is crappy and depressing. Between gentrification, pothole streets, constant construction, corruption, overpriced real estate and the lowest minimum wage in the country...Philly is trash. It's one of the most miserable cities in the country. Stay away. Oh...and for those that think if they move into a "gentrified neighborhood" that there will be no crime? Think again. That saying crime is everywhere...That's definitely true for Philly.
