I don't think they build highrises and midrises starting at $2M and $3.5M in cesspools.

I know Philly extremely well. My best friend lives in Philly and I visit him often - and have visited for work several times. Be proud of your city...but cesspool is kind - it’s a s-hole! It’s the only place I have seen a kids’ play area essentially caged in; trash bags on the streets; burned out cars on the street; drug deals in plain view; my friend who has to put his kids in private school b/c public is god awful. But be proud of your city! And, yes, Virginia is that much better.

I've lived in the city proper for 12 years and seen none of that, so I don't believe you. You best friend sounds very poor if he encounters that, so no wonder his kid are in private school.

FYI, city public schools are awful in every single large city in the country. We do happen to have two elite public schools in the city, so tell your friend it's too bad his kids didn't get into Central or Masterman.

Believe what you want. I don’t care. The only thing I appreciate about Philly is its cultural diversity. Same as NYC - although NYC doesn’t have as many folks who think they’re Rocky.
