For as long as the "counties" continue to refuse to try to work together to send resources to philly to resolve some of the issues (more cops, more DAs more prison space, more resources for housing, supportive services and crime prevention . . .), the trouble makers from philly will continue to follow you home.

The fact that there are fewer criminals in the burbs doesn't mean the criminals have disappeared. The burbs have done a fine job of keeping all the trash in philly. It's starting to overflow.
Man your nuts. Lets fix up and rehab all the housing in the city thats possible, but don't touch Holmesburg prison or build another one in Joe blows neighborhood. Get real. Either make space to lock up YOUR problem or have the mayors scream for more stringent penelties for crimes with guns. Like actually hurting the SOBs.
Get rid of their trigger fingers at the least. As far as the asswipes comitting crimes out in the burbs, that's small change. Most of the idiots do their crap close to home for a quick escape.
