Reply to Curious if anyone can give an insight on average utility costs in areas around Pittsburgh for 3-4 bdrm home by No-Camp9363

I’ll throw in some numbers to help out, but I’m not in the same neighborhood so not sure how it will compare. For our 1800 sq ft house, which is old and leaky, we just paid: $222 electric $242 gas (furnace and stove) Our water, sewage, and garbage are together and paid quarterly. Our last bill was $444 (so $148/month). We do garden and have a kid who wastes a lot of water.

>“There can be over 50 kids hanging out, waiting at the bus stop at any given time. Many hang out in front of my building. Last week, the kids broke my large play glass front window of my karate studio. $975 to replace. Every day, they litter and more,” Mowod said.

If you have a storefront in a business district by a city bus stop there are going to be lots of people hanging around. If there is a giant city highschool around the corner, there are going to be lots of teenagers. There will be litter, there will be loud crowds, etc. That is just reality.

That said, something should be done if windows are getting broken. That is way too far. Guy should be more selective with his word choice though.

No reason for the downvotes buddy. I got downtown a week before they put mandatory curfews down and pulled out the bullhorns. They barely even did that for the riots. And by got down there I mean living on the streets. I saw everything. It was very real. So take your downvotes and shove it up your ass. Your just arguing that nothing was done like a backtrodding coward. Plenty was done and people for the most part of what I consider civil lived up to that.

It’s a city bus stop. The kids use city buses.

There are already cops guarding the Starbucks because of what has happened there and the Starbucks has switched to mobile ordering only in the afternoons because of how the kids treat the employees.

I was not clear from the article, but is this a PAT/PRT bus stop, or a school bus stop? It says only the district has the authority to move it, so if it's a school bus stop I don't see why it can't simply be in front of the school. Poor choice of words, but also shitty that kids are vandalizing property. Not really sure what can be done, though. If it's students causing the problems the district could put "hall monitors" of sorts outside near the stops in afternoons, but considering they don't even have enough staff to fill their classes and can't keep people safe in the classroom, having paraprofessionals guarding the Starbucks is out of the question.

They will eat Turkey polts and smaller chicks. Yes. Grown ones/adults? No. They’d be more likely to stamp or kick them to death. But a cow or deer will attack/bite and kill a young kitten, or puppy. Eat them, afterwards? No, probably not.

I have seen them eat carrion, things like dead rabbits, crows, and squirrels. They’re opportunistic feeders for those things. They don’t hunt them to eat them like predators will—but will enthusiastically eat another animal’s leftovers.
