can we just make a sticky called "idealists vs. Realists" or "opine vs. Factoids"?
Neighbors are not evil in their mentality, but ignorance is not golden.
We want "g-town" but " g-town is impossible".
They want store to survive yet "us philadelphians don't want the onslaught of traffic".
Yada yada yada...these same people think that if a street project happens it will be over by "tourist season" if started in february. Meanwhile, they dont have the foresight to:
-Search the umpteen other threads anout south street improvements
-use a thing called google
- or look at the publicly available RFP which stars a minimum of a month per block- which would put the project well past tourist season under even the best conditions.
I also love the contrition towards businesses by saying " theyve been warned".
Well, youve been warned for decades that this is the way south street will always be, so you can get used to it.
I hope you lose ypur livelyhood, only so you realize youe own flip nature towards others' jobs.
