Philadelphia has been like this for years it's the best city but it's definitely not the worst it could use some improvements but I believe a lot of places do too.

Drivers tend to not stop at stop signs, not generous to pedestrians, even police cars speed through stop signs

The community seem to be private, not neighborly at all. The park sends out community events; however, not too many neighbors come out or contribute. Within the surrounding few blocks, neighbors tend to remain in their homes. Let's just say, there is never a block party to get to know your neighbors
