NEW YORK PAPER TAKES INTEREST IN PHILADELPHIA
Today’s New York Daily News has an article by Jason Some New Yorkers apparently commute to Philadelphia, and only the Acela it only takes an hour and eight minutes to ride up to NYC. Hey, that is pretty quick. He writes about the ridiculously expensive Domus at 34th and Chestnut — $1,799 for a one-bedroom — and, of course:
Also, this dude got mugged while he was a student at Penn, he says. Guess there weren’t $1800 apartments across the street from the law school back then. Ever thought of living in Philadelphia? [NY Daily News] |

Gritty! Just like that FX show!
i like the fact that he quotes nutter in the article instead of street. why don’t we just skip this whole lame duck period and go ahead and inaugurate dude now? everyone knows street isn’t going to do anything of interest between now and february. let’s start that fade into irrelevency sooner rather than later…
Thankfully the inauguration is the first week in January.
d’oh, you’re right. all the better, then
omg THE 6th BOROUGH
as an ex-pat philadelphian living in new york, i can honestly say that new yorkers would shit their pants to pay prices like these. now i just have to countdown the days until i graduate from grad school to move back and take advantage!
long live the city of brotherly love!
Do you mean Jason Sheftell by any chance? Love your accuracy.
@Poster Nutbag:
I’m an ex-pat NYker living in Philly. Yes, my mortgage payment is less than my rent but my neighbor’s house was broken into and there was a mugging at 7:45pm on the block over.
So there’s that.
There’s always someone who wants to rain on our parade!
Is it really such a bad thing for New Yorkers not to like Philadelphia? I mean, if they don’t like it, they needn’t move or work here. Less New Yorkers would seem to be a good thing.
I just hope nobody in New York reads this article (that would be pretty likely… who reads the RE section of the NYDY? maybe homeless people…)
All we need are flocks of New Yorkers selling their apartments for a profit, then coming down here to squat and run up rents and restaurant prices here.
Oh, wait…
A lot of peaople read the Daily News real estate section. This guy is the only one whop actually cares what’s happening and writes about things other than fancy new condos. I’m from Philadelphia and I live in New York for architecture school, but as soon as I’m done I’m coming back to Philly. And I can’t wait to live better.
