Listen, your ward still wants those inlets cleaned.

Listen, y'all. I'm not even gonna hold you, the latest jawn from City Hall got me looking at this data, and it's clear what youse are really worried about out here in Philly. Forget all the big talk down at Dilworth Park, what's really on your mind is right there in the 311 requests.

Guess what’s topping the list, right after "Miscellaneous" for like, a bunch of times? Inlet cleaning. That's right, wooder not draining right, streets getting puddles like the Schuylkill after a big rain. We see "Inlet Cleaning" popping up multiple times, showing folks are consistently reporting this jawn. It's not just a one-off thing; people are hitting that 311 hard about it. This is about keeping our blocks from looking like Venice after a monsoon, or nah?

This ain't no high-falutin' policy debate, this is pure Philly reality. It's about your street, your corner, your kid's walk to school without stepping in a lake. What does it mean? It means City Hall needs to be looking at where these requests are coming from and getting out there with the crews. Keep your eyes peeled on your block, see if these requests actually lead to some action.

That's the jawn, Philly — we don't do fake out here.
