Yes, some taxes and costs are higher, but I like living and working in a big city instead of the suburbs. There's a lot of incentives for businesses moving into the city now. Property taxes are insanely low here (a fraction of surrounding locations). I've seen huge improvements in the last five years. And I don't think it's fair to write it off so easily. You have to factor in quality of life, and Philly has a lot to offer. And it's just plain ridiculous to say Philly is boring with the amount of nightlife and culture here.
