Someone is getting their pockets lined smh

[@johnnieblaze201]

Now can we stop with the ill informed ignorant comments?

[@Mysticbladegod]

The impact study already proved Mayor Parker wrong. Nobody needs this arena. Keep them in South Philly or send them to Camden

[@johnboys4697]

Shes a mess so is city hall

[@johnzajac9849]

Ancient Chinese curses will be upon her.

[@mrbond9882]

😂😂 no one wants to do anything with those infested neighborhoods stop it

[@KingOfDecline]

Time to read the proposal. When something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

[@CantFightFate75]

This was her Oscar moment

[@realisticmentality]

Bye bye Chinatown 😅

[@harleymendez3968]

Why is that funny?

[@zoo05zoo]

The arena will not be in Chinatown. Since when has 8th and Market been Chinatown? By this logic, nothing should exist along Market Street from 7th to 13th simply because Chinatown is adjacent a few blocks away.

[@kerri5595]

No Arena! These are minimum wage, part time jobs without benefits. What a shame. Everyone who owns around here will need to sell. The mayor just saw the potential tax revenue. Disgusting

[@birving2]

And in this economy who single working a full time job that don't need a part time job. Everything is so high you gotta have a full time and part time job to make it work

[@ChristopherJoseph35]

why would people who own need to sell? why would they sell the value of the properties will go up

[@Markydarling]

Shes the real Villain 😂

[@Simms1987]

The scapegoat

[@tctc2703]

No she's not

[@brizstoner2442]

That thumbnail got her looking like James Brown!😄

[@AbdulMalik-nv6sy]

1000%💀💀💀💀

[@valairegreen4538]

I Said The Same thing 😂😂😂😂😂

[@frankdattilo1836]

The City is rotting out due to filth, homeless, bums, white flight, business flight, empty commercial buildings, shrinking tax base… Need I say more!

[@christinec7892]

But she doesn’t live in the community impacted by it. She’s a joke

[@pastordarrell94]

We won't get fooled again

[@magiccarpetride2877]

Build it 🎉🎉🎉 Philly is doing big things

[@tctc2703]

I like my mayor

[@tctc2703]

Cheryl Parker is doing a great job.

[@guy1235575]

Lol

[@hafeezshaw]

Forget that WHERE IS THE SUGAR TAX MONEY GOING ?! ITS NOT PUBLIC SCHOOLS. MONEY ONLY BEING TAXED IN MINORITY URBAN AREAS AND WE DESERVE TO KNOW

[@phichi5488]

But where will i get my 3 chicken wings with the fried rice - Lew Sid

[@R_A_3000]

The 76ers are gonna be a lottery team when this arena is finished. No one is going pay for overpriced tickets to watch a losing team.

[@ringo1796]

The One, Stable, Crime free Neighborhood in Philadelphia, is in jeopardy of being over-run with a Stadium nobody wants or needs. Downtown Philly is not Safe, and I Hope this intrusion into China Town goes to the Supreme Court. But the way the Supreme Court has been ruling lately, that is a longshot. Put it to a Vote and let the People decide.

[@ssbrasco3896]

I dislike thys mayor

[@streetwork5069]

They been trying for decades to do this..remember John street and the Slogan..”No Stadium in Chinatown “.. they want Chinatown on the other side of Vine st..asap

[@Simms1987]

Too much pressure for her

[@Leo-fb3kd]

Chinatown is selfish tbh let the city develop that’s why center city is boring rn ain’t nothing do to in Chinatown anyway 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@guy1235575]

Just because a certain place isn’t your style doesn’t mean it isn’t to millions of others

[@GIRLRAZR]

Thank you Mayor!! No more delay. Just build it NOW!!

[@harleymendez3968]

Racist

[@yaboi9191]

She don't believe that because she crying
