I grew up in the Philly suburbs and went to Temple..I laugh at the idea of rich people choosing to live in center city. They fixed the payment thing for septa but during covid all the progress made on crime went out the window. They also tear gassed some affluent white techies in the crowd during the protests because the blue collar cops in Philly are some of the dumbest individuals I've ever had the displeasure of interacting with.
I literally moved to Maui during covid and was able to pay the same rent I was throwing away on an apartment in Northern liberties but instead I was 500 ft from the ocean
