If you get desperate there is a room above Dormont pool. Has full kitchen, etc. parking and a ramp to get in. Also there is a coffee place, Carnegie coffee I think that has a space. Ain’t never been there they tell me it’s nice

It’s not immoral. If you own a home, for instance, and go to sell it, wouldn’t you try to sell it for as much as you can? What about the landlord/property owner who has an obligation to their family to provide for them to the best they can.

If there was no profit motive, there would be no landlords and no housing to rent.
I'm not an unfettered capitalist myself, but it was quite nice for the landlord to limit rent increases for you during your time there, because it seems that the market was sending signals that the landlord could have raised the rent much more (and added fees) for the times you were there and renewed.

Nothing you've said is inherently wrong, but that doesn't mean it should just be acceptable. Why is it even a joke that the responsibility falls to me if I dont like the way another person/renter is being treated.
We completely agree that changing the system as it exists would be very difficult, but it shouldn't be considered impossible just because its always been this way.
The point of this post was to call out the drastic increase that I'm seeing first hand and call attention to the need for solutions, not to argue over why it's a problem.

Reply to Living downtown - how do you manage parking? by Argvir
My gf used to live on a street that was free parking and I’d literally have to park 2-3 blocks away sometimes but she lives in a residential parking pass area now and it’s no problem

I’ve been living off and on in the desert in SoCal so I’m pretty use to the stupid heat, but the Mexican food is a huge reason for the move, although I will definitely miss Pittsburgh a ton

I dont misunderstand business, but its awful to me that housing is being run as a business in the first place and that it's been left unchecked for so long. It's fine to make a profit on an asset, but this assest is someones home and should come with different rules that protect the tenant. Why is this situation okay, just because its "business as usual"?

Enjoy living in an oven! You get some pretty kickass Mexican food as a trade off though.

And it's already melting now. This sub loves to act like we have brutal winters, but it's hardly anything at all.

What’s funny is I’m moving to Phoenix tomorrow, a place that never gets snow, except in the mountains

Reply to Any recommendations for a great female pediatrician in the Pittsburgh area? by Great_Bodini
Highly recommend CCP. Our daughter has been seeing Dr. Lidia Turzai since she was a newborn. When we were at the Childrens Hospital NICU, all the nurses working on the floor said they have their kids go to CCP so that's what we picked, too.

The mountain gods are unhappy that you keep coming up here and littering. If I came to Pittsburgh and littered you'd shit a brick.

I tip 20% across the board. Servers usually have to tip the kitchen out, and that includes carry out orders, so I will still tip 20% on that. Would I love a day that people are just paid correctly? Yes! Until then? 20% tip minimum unless you’re especially shitty with your service.

that's called business.
The flip side is that when you are working for a business you get token raises every year, and the way to really get a salary increase is to find another job with a competitor.

As a fellow non-vegetarian, Apteka is delicious and you should give it a shot!
