Your city's 311 requests tell a real story
Listen, youse ever call 311 for somethin' in this city? 'Cause a lot of folks do, more than you might think. We just got the latest look at what Philadelphians are actually callin' about, and it's always an interesting jawn to see. Turns out, "Miscellaneous" is still the top reason folks are hittin' up 311. That's right, "Miscellaneous." Like, what even *is* miscellaneous? That could be anything from a lost cat on Oregon Avenue to a weird smell near the Wissahickon. It’s wild that it’s consistently the number one category.
Here’s the Real Breakdown:
* **"Miscellaneous" requests:** These just keep piling up. It tells you folks got a lot of different problems that don't fit neat categories, or maybe the categories themselves need a fresh look, or nah?
* **Sanitation Violations:** This is the other big jawn jumping out from the data. People are clearly fed up with how things look out here. If you walk down any block in West Philly or South Philly, you know exactly what I'm talkin' about. We're talkin' about illegal dumping, overflowing trash cans, just general disrespect for the block.
What this means is folks are still on top of tryna make their neighborhoods better, even if City Hall ain't always got a clear box for it. The next move is seein' if they actually start trackin' what makes up all that "miscellaneous" jawn, and how they gonna tackle these persistent sanitation issues.
That's the jawn, Philly — we don't do fake out here.
