Lived in that neighborhood in the early 90. Used to put my garbage out with a Security Six in my waistband. It’s been an “improving” neighborhood for almost forty years. There’s endless scum to the north and west and an elevated line that feeds in even more. Many of the residents are utterly clueless Rainbows and Unicorns types. I liked them. I just shut my mouth about my artillery and the fact that I knew they were targets.
Most of Philly is utterly clueless Rainbows and Unicorns. Their fear of thinking themselves judgmental (many years of brainwashing) by walking across the street, trumped their fear of the criminals approaching.
