I live in Bella Vista, a tiny neighborhood between Center City and South Philly and echo @angdis' sentiment. The Philadelphia subway system leaves a bit to be desired, but considering the trolleys, buses, and "regional" rail options, as well as the ease of making connections between most of these systems, Philly has a more than adequate public transportation system altogether. Also -- Philly is one of the most walkable cities in the country. It's not difficult for someone to walk river-to-river or throughout University City to get where they're going. I know plenty of folks that live and work within their neighborhood and rarely go elsewhere, but I know more people that explore all over the city and towns outside.
