The new style of single family house: what’s your thought?

With all due respect you have no clue the depth of what goes on in Philly. I dont know Bosotn well but NYC does not come close in what attytoods exist in Philly. It happens at every level. If you want an education, read a little about the former Police Chief and Mayor Frank Rizzo. He used to carry around a billy club for cracking heads and keeping the blacks in line. There is a famous picture of him in a Tux at a formal event and the club can be seen peaking out from inside his jacket. The prejudices are not simply being hung onto, they are being passed on from generation to generation. When I go back to visit friends many of whom are very very successful/high profile people in that city I see it. I couldnt stand anymore and that is probably the biggest reason I left.

ok sdrealtor, I’ll defer to your experience. I’ll watch for racist behavior the next time I’m in Philly.

About prejudices being passed on from generation to generation, that tends to happen more easily in static ethnic enclaves.

Maybe I’m romanticizing but when I’m on the East I’m reminded of the rival gangs of Westside Story.

I was driving through Port Richmond (or thereabouts) when I encountered a bunch of stoop and lawn chair sitting white men shootin’ the breeze. They yelled “what the fuck you lookin’ at” as they knew that I wasn’t of the neighborhood. Bull-dogs guarding their turf.

Yeah, I know that Philly is very corrupt. San Diego’s corruption problems pale in comparison.

There are lots of poor Blacks on public housing in Philly and you have to drive by the projects all the time. The city is much denser than San Diego so the angst comes to the surface more.

But so far, I’m not bothered. I still like Philly. It’s a cultural experience for me.

People keep saying having garage in front will cause too much street space to be taken by parking.

This is not true. We drove through del sur. Homes with garage in rear are the worst. The home owners never want to drive through the alley and park in the garage. The easiest is to park on the street in the front of the home and just go through the front door.

If the street is narrow (like in del sur), it is so hard to drive even at 15mph…
