One big thing after another soon led to a greater sense of civic responsibility and engaged the immigrants in new ways to make their lives better.

This is a issue that is leaving many critics concerned. On the other hand, Philadelphia’s citizens have been moving out of the city and moving toward the suburbs, leaving behind the lower-class and working class people who are unable to move out. Because of the loss of revenue streams from businesses leaving the city, the city has had to cut back on developmental and allocational expenditures and focus the majority of spending on redistributive expenditures like healthcare, housing and community, and public welfare.
