And that's the truth!!!

There is literally so much contradictory babble in here it's not worth addressing.

But noted. Philadelphia was more innovative when it made Stetson Hats than today, in spite of all of the emerging science coming out of Philadelphia that will literally transform medical science.

Also, great cities have affordable housing? Good to know. Let me go scoop that place I've been waiting to buy in SF and NYC.
