I am not opposed to more development and economic activity, but want it better planned for. I love Manayunk, but don't like some of the changes. We have no supermarket, drug store, discount store, or other shops we can afford. Shopping is very hard for seniors. We don't need convenience commercial.
People can go up the hill for toothpaste, as they've done for years.
I was very excited by Main Street development, but have become concerned, dismayed, and now, quite angry. Please bring more bars, restaurants, and fun places. Residents are being outnumbered by renters who don't care about the neighborhood. This is forcing out long-term residents whose homes are being rented out.
