I don't see riding along with the traffic as worthwhile but a tunnel under 65 could be an interesting idea.

You'd have to take over a railroad line, which comes with it's own issues (including cost)

Sufficiently worthwhile infrastructure is definitely worth the cost to build it, AKA bridges and tunnels, and unless we are talking about some seriously culturally valuable area eminent domain is reasonable for enhanced infrastructure as well in my opinion.

I was purposely skipping Jacks and similar ones. I was thinking of DeCarlos in Bridgeville or Kimmies in Castle Shannon or something else like that. The dingy neighborhood places

You mean without the use eminent domain or do you mean without cost prohibitive bridges and tunnels?

I’m not sure I understand your outrage. I didn’t take issue with the word “those”. Context matters. I merely pointed out that his statement may be taken in a way he didn’t desire. And even pointed out that may not have been intentional. I’m not offended or calling for anyone to be “canceled”. Just made an observation. And I don’t think I said anything negative or racist about Sensei George. In fact, I don’t know George’s race, so it would be pretty hard for me to have racism in my heart for him. I get it. You hate modern pc cancel culture and had a rant chambered, but I’m not sure my comment was worthy of your diatribe.

"Kids went inside and made him look like a dummy"
No, you're going to avoid it because 5 young adults (teenagers are not kids and are often tall AF) can enter at any time and threaten to fight people.
Would you feel safe at work if 5 young adults came in and threatened to fight your manager? And then continued to hang out outside your workplace every day?

To PIT would probably be best following the north side of the Ohio river, and then cross back over at RMU. There's some spots that way that could potentially be acquired for a right of way (rail lines and a trail) but ultimately would probably have to ride with the traffic on 65. And if you're going to be stuck in traffic, you might as well just be a bus.
Would be great if they could increase the 28x frequency and incorporate some additional dedicated lanes and transit-preference intersection controls.

Yup! This is similar for my 3 bed home

This has been discussed on here so many times, and the consensus is it won't work as there just isn't practical space to do it.

I am really not sure for the leg from the city to Pittsburgh International but coming south from the city having stops farther down Carson street and for sandcastle, the Waterfront, and Kennywood on the way to the Allegheny County Airport would be great.

You can find a typical home and then call the utilities and ask for a yearly average for that home. You don't know some factors such as insulation or what they keep the thermostat at but it's doable.

Better solution is just to expel the students... then no issue at the bus stop, and the parents can figure out what to do when their kid is home all day.

I totally agree! But if we're looking for practical solutions, getting these kids' parents to start taking responsibility isn't in the realm of the possible. Changing the schedules isn't the best solution, but it might be the best that we can actually do.

But there is a rule that says they can’t be disorderly. Or assault anyone. Or damage property. Or—wait for it—RAPE someone.
And yep, it was those people—unless there’s another group of duplicitous Alderdice students who regularly invite mayhem while waiting for the bus at Starbucks.
But you’re right—it’s nothing like 80-era Compton.
It’s more like being on its way to 60s Watts.
