Lived in Center City as an older teenager/young adult in the latter part of Frank Rizzo’s reign. I loved it.
I’ve always been torn with the belief that perhaps society would definitely be better off had some been aborted or if only daddy had withdrawn early. If only we had a crystal ball. Imagine how much better society would be for all without feral and trash? Even better yet if we eliminated the corrupt pols and corrupt cronies. Sad but very few end up dedeemable.
