Thank you for understanding that just because there are similarities, that doesn't make them the same thing.

I should know better than to try to have a discussion with someone who starts with a fallacious assertion by not recognizing that our cities have been influenced differently on a sociological and economical level.

I used to think that was true, but there's a lot of stuff they could try to get to work that they sit on their hands over. Preferable to the side that works to make things worse but still terrible for the average citizen.

Had enough people trying to get rid of the homeless and profit from "relocating" them for the past 20 years. Also the demolition of Philly and commercialization is only going to continue to raise prices for people who 1) have lived here and are becoming unable to afford it and 2) romanticized the idea that living here is cheaper than NY, not realizing they're only serving to raise the cost of living to match it.

We don't need new housing, we don't need supermarkets. We need parking, we need to take care of the people who currently live here.

Edit: accidentally a word

People don't like to have to see what they're doing to the poors.
