Reply to School students in Sq Hill by soparklion

It is sad to say, but as a teacher, these behaviors have become the norm in many schools and the one I taught at. I had to leave brick and mortar because of this. I would see mobs of kids beating the crap out of each other inside and even a few blocks away outside of school...especially at the bus stop.

At this point, I don't know what a good solution may be. I feel for all my fellow teachers still working in brick and mortar in our city, and all I can do is hope by some miracle, these students can learn some common sense.

Reply to Greenfield vs South Side Slope, where to buy a house? by Nice_Charge8971

I’m a recent graduate and bought a house in the Southside Slopes about 1.5 years ago. Have nothing but good things to say about the area. The street I live on is a mix of families, college students, and old yinzers. Incredibly safe and can get to just about anything you would need within a walking distance. Feel free to pm me if you have any questions!

Reply to comment by CanIHelp2452 in Curious if anyone can give an insight on average utility costs in areas around Pittsburgh for 3-4 bdrm home by No-Camp9363

i rent out a similar size home built in 60s not super tight but not horribly drafty. tenants pay about $500 annualized monthly average between electric and gas together, water/sewage is about $100, trash is about $30. as others said some areas roll trash into the taxes.
