...ah the typical Philly rants. You know, the Philadelphia Code has regulations against all of this, even putting your trash out before 6PM the nite before. Have you ever called the city? Your councilman? No you haven't. You've done nothing.

Its people like you, who let people like your neighbors get away with this crap, that cause decline in the 'hood.

sorry i have to disagree with you. GOOD neighbors know when to put the trash out and how to correctly put the trash out. you never have to say a word to a good neighbor other than to wish them a good morning after they've already wished you one. when low life scum moves in who have NO PERSONAL PRIDE in themselves and could give two shits about what you think, they are the cause of the decline in the hood. put the blame where it belongs...

yeah i want to make the headline story on philly.com tomorrow about being the 4 bazillionth citizen to get murdered this year because i told a bad neighbor on a 100 degree day, that he was putting his trash out improperly. NOT!

If you would have read some more of my statements you would realize that I have tried talking to my neighbors... TO NO AVAIL!!! You don't know what I've done or haven't done. Believe me, I've done plenty to try and get this situation resolved, that's part of the reason I've been bitching on this site... NOTHING GETS DONE!!!!

Call CLIP, 215-683-CLIP, see if that helps, if you have already tried the direct communication route and that failed. Leave it to someone else for now.

I've called CLIP. I've called the police district, etc. My husband went out again and spoke to the husband. We'll see how that works Either way it's getting really, really frustrating. I foresee a move in the next year or two....

As I was driving home from the real estate agents office yesterday which was probably about eight to ten blocks I noticed every block had a house for sale. Real estate prices are coming down, people are afraid of losing whatever value they have left in thier house. They want to get out now before they lose tens of thousands of dollars that they could possibly get. You cant be angry at these people they are doing what they think is the best financial thing they can do for themselves. It would be nice to say that we are going to stay and fight, but sometimes you have to be realistic. I challenge anyone to go on a drive, especially in mayfair and find a block without at least one house for sale. They are few and far between. With all these people selling thier houses at prices that continue to drop and out of state investors jumping on them the slow decay is only going to quicken.
I am out of here as soon as possible. I have a four year old child and there is no way in hell he is going to school in philly.

CLIP never showed. After calling the district 3 times myself and having no one ever show I had my husband call (he never identifies himself as a cop) and wouldn't ya know... a cop came out and ticketed the illegally parked car. That was a couple of days ago and it's not been parked there since. I"m hoping not to see it again. As for the other "issues' no, nothing's been done. Like I said my husband spoke to the man of the house again... we'll see what happens.

I agree. We left Philly two years ago and it was the best thing we ever did for us and our child. I wish you the best of luck!!! You won't regret the move!
