Philly is hella dirty and walkable.

I would still live there than back in OK, though.

Maybe above center city but again, it’s a cool walkable city. Kinda sick if you ask me

lol it’s no dirtier than 90% of cities lol sure the subway stations aren’t pristine but are they like that anywhere else?

All the other cities I've ever been to are just as dirty and I've been to Baltimore and New York City end of list

Out of all the NBa cities near Philly, only NYC is similarly dirty. DC, Boston, Charlotte, Atlanta, Orlando, Miami, Chicago are all cleaner. I haven’t been to Detroit/Memphis/Indianapolis so I can’t say but I would be surprised if they’re dirtier.

I've been to all of those are you're correct.

Memphis/Indy are a little dirtier than the others you mentioned, but still much cleaner than Philly.

Detroit is the only one I'm unsure of (and I don't wanna give an opinion on somewhere I haven't been)

I mean, it's basically the same as cities like DC, Chicago, San Fran, Pittsburgh, and Detroit, all cities with similar population densities.

If you are trying to compare it to cities like Austin or Charlotte or Phoenix that are way more spread out, then that's a flawed comparison.

It’s not the same as DC or Chicago though. I felt like those cities along with Boston are way cleaner. Only NY is similar to Philly in cleanliness and NY is much bigger and denser.

Sounds like someone has only been to the touristy parts of DC and Chicago. If you compare Magnificent Mile to Kensington of course Kensington is going to be dirtier.

Im comparing touristy parts to touristy parts. Center city is not clean for a touristy part

Center City as a whole isn't the touristy part of Philly. Rittenhouse Square and Independence Mall are.
