   Karen,   
    Its the pits to me and I am still living here. I can't move, and other want   
   to move here? Am I surprised? No , plenty of good things  also and many   
   times I think its the pits.Since I have to stay here , being critical is the   
   only way at this point to instill changes. If I said the city is doing a   
   good job in .......picking up the trash, will that help you? If I said the   
   city was doing a good job in supporting their major league contenders, what   
   that be more objective? :) . Truthfully there is not much I can add  , if   
   the rationale is plenty of people want to move here. There are billions of   
   people on earth and so If Philly is next to mountains, has plenty of good   
   restaurants, and close to the shore, has plenty of parks and has four   
   seasons to boot, I can see why other people wouldn't care about my   
   complaints . Of course I can see why more intelligent people would of course   
   be concerned about the negatives also .What are your suggestions about   
   addressing the negatives? Denial
