It's still there, but now we know the most likely culprit of all the troubles there was caused because of a huge methane gas field in that area.  When the gas is released and it comes to the surface of the water, the water density is changed and ships are no longer able to stay afloat.  When it comes to Aircraft, it also changes the density of the air, and the aircraft fall out of the sky because they no longer are able to obtain lift.  I can't remember what they said it exactly does to the primitive navigation systems, but essentially it screws them up to.  \nNowadays we know what to be looking for when in that area, and how to avoid trouble.

It really depends on what you're looking for.  There are four counties surrounding Philadelphia plus New Jersey across the river.  \n\n1. Delaware County: Just south of the city.  Has the best deals on houses of the four counties.  A 3 bedroom single can be found for under $200K.  Very accessible to center city via the SEPTA regional rail.  Some parts are just a 20 minute drive to Center City Philadelphia.  Good schools and okay taxes.  Some of the safer/affordable areas that I'm familiar with are Norwood, Glenolden, Brookhaven, Drexel Hill, Aldan, Aston.  Avoid Chester, Morton, Darby, Essington and some parts of Landsdowne. There's a slightly higher concentration of people per square mile in DelCo but I've found neighborhoods to be much more close knit because of this.  We bought a home in Delaware County after moving from Philadelphia.  We love it!  \n\n2. Bucks County: This is north of the city and pretty expensive.  You'll have trouble finding a good home for under $300K.  However, it's very spread out and safe.  Doylestown is still within commuting distance of Center City and a nice area.  So is Feasterville, Trevose, Bensalem and those parts of lower Bucks County.  I would avoid Bristol.\n\n3. Montgomery County: I think I heard this is the richest county in the state.  It's just west of Philadelphia.  I don't know too much about it but have heard that East and West Norriton are nice affordable areas.  Avoid Norristown though.\n\n4. Chester County: I know even less about this one.  Sorry. :-(\n\nIf you go over to New Jersey you'll be paying $3 in tolls to come to Philly.  But I know there are some good deals over there.  You might want to post a seperate question about that and see who answers.  Also, craigslist discussion forums were helpful to me when I was searching for a home/area to move to.\n\nGood luck!

... there doesn't seem to really be any facts about it yet... just people talking about the facts... I don't like that... \nEverything you have cited so far is VERY vague... not that it isn't true... I just want more than some quotes about how great it is and a very brief description...

So what you're saying is that you don't have a very high opinion of the Philadelphia Police Dept. \n\nProbably shouldn't paint everyone with a broad brush based on the experience with a few bad apples
