First of all the cities that make up Montgomery County have their own mayors.
They're not governed by the same low quality filth that governs City of Philadelphia.
And there is a BIIIIIIIIIGGGGG difference between somebody born and raised in Philadelphia and somebody who drives, or takes the train to Philadelphia.
BIG, HUGE, GIANT... PLANET SIZED difference in the personalities and the inclinations, and the level of tolerance for bullshit, and the level of bullshit that they face in their lives.
There is no comparison between the two, they're not peers.
And the people from Montgomery County are over 600 times safer to be around everyday, and they have a better education.
