I literally can’t fathom questions like this. Why would the Philly metro area ASPIRE to become a place where housing affordability is totally out of control and the American dream is illusive for all but the very well off?The whole point of the Philly area is that you can afford a decent apartment without forking over a kidney, and the same for a decent suburban home. If Philly wants a model it should look at Pittsburgh, recently ranked the country’s most affordable city. It should look at whatever NYC and LA are doing and do the exact opposite.

Nope Philly already peaked in the 18th century. While I love Philly for what it is, there is a lot of factors holding it down from ever being a tier 1 city but I think most Philadelphians prefer that.

Agreed, Philly is spiraling with crime.

Uhmm. There is a slim chance. Probably in the next 100 years. Who knows.

Thats a really good question. I really don't think it ever will. Don't get me wrong its up and coming and lots of transients are moving here but I don't think it will be that big.

Hello All,
I am finishing up my second year of practice as a lawyer. I transitioned to plaintiffs pi work from a boutique commercial litigation firm. I like the work and not having to bill.

I also take the driver seat for the grunt work on the firms bigger cases which are at or near 7 figure value. I constantly feel (cont.)

Anyone have any helpful advice?
