East Falls is absolutely beautiful. A little quieter than but close to Manayunk so you can choose how much you want to deal with the drunk 20-something MBA crowd that gravitates there, while still being close enough to enjoy the restaurant, arts and generally lovely daytime scene there.

If you head the opposite way to center city you’re probably not going to want to take the train or Uber in because a) it’s a hike, b) parts of it are real ugly, and c) the interceding neighborhoods vary between “mostly friendly and Ok” to “let’s walk faster.”

If you’re looking for a quieter sort of inner suburb feel with great access to CC, Manayunk, Fairmount Park, and a much easier way to the main line and points west, it’s one of the best locations you can live. I moved from Center City out to the suburbs about 6 years back and if I ever moved back into town it would probably be there.

It's generally a safe neighborhood. Peaceful and quiet. I haven't heard anything bad about or about any violent crimes happening

I’ve lived in EF for three years. Generally pretty great. We’ll occasionally have a run of package thieves and car window smashing but not all the time. It’s overall a great area.

Layoffs. Most big firms say they're sitting on a conservative pile of cash - which I believe is true - but work will obviously not return to pre-COVID levels in the short term, probably not even in the medium term. Are Biglaw layoffs coming?

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I'm still bringing money in as a software engineer, but I'm looking for advice on how to support a partner who has been laid off. Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.
