This is awesome, and helps explain why the region's housing market has been on fire for years on end. I stand firm in the my belief that Philly is not only the future of gene therapy and 'new' biopharma, but it is also a cheaper (for now) alternative east coast technology hub with equal talent to our similarly sized peers. We never needed Amazon, they would have simply been a nice to have.
