Claim your handlePhilly is a great city that's been underbuilt, underinvested, and under-ambitious for decades. More housing. More bike lanes. More transit. More people. More tax base. More ambition. That's what this is about.
What we're building
The honest case for moving here. Cost of living, neighborhood profiles, the tax situation, and what to actually expect.
What's getting built, what's getting blocked. Zoning cases, councilmanic prerogative, and a running tally of units approved vs. needed.
Bike network maps, useful SEPTA guides, walkability deep-dives, and street safety tracking. What works, what needs pressure.
How Council actually works, who your councilmember is, where tax dollars go. Plain-language explainers and reform tracking.
A curated directory of orgs doing the work. Here's the meeting, here's what to say, here's why it matters.
Opinion, data, neighborhood spotlights. Recurring features like "What if Philly built this?" and pieces that make the numbers real.
On the roadmap
Rate every neighborhood on walkability, transit, bike infra, housing production, park access. Updated annually.
Interactive map of major projects, color-coded by status. The thing people bookmark.
A drip campaign for recent movers. Practical stuff and civic onboarding in one place.
Simple scorecards grading each councilmember on housing, transit, and reform votes.
