-They claim it's gentrifying that part of the city, despite the fact that much of North Philly is inundated with burnt down crack houses, single parent households, the unemployed, and non-taxpayers, not to mention it's our land.
-The SJWs want a sexual assault/misconduct center (?) and all workers to make $15 an hour which is laughable. I'm not sure what that has to do with a stadium
-People claiming it will be funded with taxpayer money and student fees, which it won't, at least not significantly when all is done
-People claiming it is going to displace people from their homes (again, mostly uneducated, unemployed, non-taxpayers leeching off the government)
-People claim it is going to result in knocking down recreation centers and community centers
-All the general complaints regarding stadiums--noise, trash, drunks, etc.
No one in this community ever takes responsibility for the killing, drug dealing, trash, general decrepitness, lack of education, lack of two parent households in their community. All they do is blame Temple and Temple students for their plight.
What's funny is they like to say they were there first. North Philly was originally home to wealthy white Jews until the Great Depression. Minorities eventually became the majority and ruined North Philly to this day.
They did the same thing when the Liacouras Center was being built. After they got their handouts, no one has said a thing.
