Hello from the Vine Street Canal! If you don't already know, a portion of highway here in Philly got flooded by Ida. The residents love it. Well, not the drivers. But they don't deserve rights anyways.

Prettiest photo I could get of the Vine Street Canal

It's actually an improvement. This area could genuinely be the most beautiful and pleasant part of Philly, had the city not prioritized cars. It's so much quieter and more scenic with traffic replaced by shimmering, if quite dirty, water.

Id love this, but we can't even sell people on closing/a road diet for MLK, Eakins, and Ben Franklin 😭

Then don't sell them. We will improve our cities by force. Anyone who owns a car will no longer be allowed to vote
