These issues always come up in Philly. This is one of the reasons on my very long list of why I am leaving. I've grown up in this town with a brief stint in NC for college and this city is dying. The politicians and city officials refuse to make concessions or change the way things are done. Not only do they run off entertainment ventures (i.e. MTV, Banyan Productions, and several movies and TV shows) which provide free publicity. But they also make it difficult to visit the city or even go out in it at night by not providing public transportation after 10pm, even on the weekends! (yet another union decision!) Week after week and month after month unions are constantly threatening to strike. This is yet another example.
