> I lived in Philadelphia for many years and it's generally a filthy city. People who live there know it too.

I moved from SF to Philadelphia 2 years ago and have no idea what you're talking about.

None of the things you described are things I've seen more than maybe once in the 2 years I've lived here, and I walk everywhere just like I did in SF.

Granted, all of those things I saw repeatedly when living in SF for 4 years beforehand. The one time I smelled urine in a street in Philly, my brain went "whoa, am I back in SoMa?"
