Well, what exactly are you expecting to change? If there's no businesses or people living there, then I don't see a lot of opportunity for anything to happen, right?

That sentence gave me pause as well. It had a sense of “Those people” should stay in their own neighborhood. Maybe it wasn’t meant that way, but it was tone deaf phrasing. Sensei George is going to regret that, methinks.

White guy running a business and doesn't like the neighborhood it's in or the people who are nearby? Sure, let's call it a ghetto! He's not racist, we swear! He has a Black friend!

There are a lot of people in such a tight area. Maybe they could stagger the bus schedule.

Keep in mind the condition of the house. Older houses, drafty and maybe poor insulation. That will jack up your bills also. I'm dealing with that now. My house is 130 years old and drafttttyyy AF

Vegas actually isn’t doing badly. In fact, the use only a fraction of their allotted water amount. I had the same belief before.

> My SIL in Vegas has a pool and irrigation for her plants and pays $30 a month

This is part of the reason why the southwest has the water issues they do.

Take a break

Lol 90% of Pittsburgh bars are hole is the walls which is exactly what you're looking for.

Lol my wife and I were just talking about sopapillas last night. I've really been craving one lately; I'm from Texas and still haven't found one here, although I haven't looked all that hard either.

Cool, hopefully someone who lives around there can chime in with more specifics.

I think trash and recycling are included with your local taxes there (same as in the City), so that’s a small relief.

Tammy's or Jack's still opens for shift workers. Tammy's has a decent breakfast.

Those guys will be heading over to Riggs about now... Don't worry about catching them, they'll be there all day and tomorrow too.

Smart pills as my grandfather called them

Ok ty! I’m thinking Mt. Lebanon. House 1500sq ft. Fairly average.

I think the Carnegie Library of Homestead started to offer these last year

"Ruining our businesses, frightening our customers. It’s like having a ghetto in the heart of a wonderfully safe neighborhood community.”

This is... maybe not... the best possible phrasing in a historically Jewish neighborhood, never mind the anti-black tones of the word. (Kids do sound like assholes, though.)

What suburb? And what’s the house like?

Costs are going to vary depending on location, the age of the house, square footage, age of HVAC, etc, but I think your costs are going to be pretty close to what you’re paying now.

You might save a few bucks on trash depending on where you land, but in general utilities aren’t at a discount here and they’re only going up.

The Thunderbird used to open at 7am and have a bunch of third shift workers drinking in the morning, but since they've remodeled it looks like they open at 5pm now.

Oh yah, them's deerberries! Memaw used to make a nice little tea with those.

The intersection where Bigelow meets Washington Pl, next to the new park. I am always on edge during the turn, I’m afraid someone is going to drift into me.

Really though, add in the entirety of Crosstown Blvd.

And while we’re at it, the Ft Pitt and Ft Duquesne Bridges and everything in between

By cool I mean “alcoholics that avoid their children”

Look at the other replies. They're all stereotyping that blue collar people only go (can only afford?) to dive bars and greasy spoons.
