So Pittsburgh public does the first 2 snow days are completely off. No online work. Once we hit the 3rd day then it would be online.

Reply to New tenants are getting screwed by blondiebell
This is what they do everywhere. Back in 2008 I moved into a one-bedroom apartment in Brookline and my rent was only $525/month plus electric. By the time I bought a house in 2014 and moved, my rent had gone up to $675/month with no renovations. Once I gave notice I was moving, they came in and put in new floors and counters and charged the next person $850/month. It was crazy to me.

Ah! This is why my daughter insisted that I check my email for anything about a school delay this morning. They must have said at her school yesterday that that was likely. I had been wondering why she thought there might be a delay.

There’s 0 correlation between a fast food place like McDonald’s and take out at an actual restaurant

Reply to comment by LostEnroute in Greenfield vs South Side Slope, where to buy a house? by Nice_Charge8971
Yeah, when I bought mine in greenfield, I was able to look and confirm that I wasn’t on a mine. Pretty sure mine subsidence insurance is required if you are on one but I may be wrong.

I agree. I moved out here just before I turned 28, and at that point I was losing interest in spending weekends at the bar until 2:00 AM, so it being quiet over here wasn't too big of an issue for me, but it's not the best place if you're a sociable 25-year-old looking to go out and not have to deal with getting a DD or an Uber..

Reply to comment by KermieJagger in If PA can't work out a deal to fund transit when COVID relief runs out, there could be massive service cuts to transit again. Does anyone remember when something similar happened in 2007-2011 and how it affected things? I live in Philly but this could happen to us too and I'm curious what it's like by MrATLien
Less than a quarter of PRT's revenue, pre covid, came from the farebox

We agree there. They are shitty for the same reason every nee thing is shitry quality, greed. Lower build cost means more profit when they charge their obscene "luxury" prices.

But they boxed it up, added napkins, plastic ware etc., make sure that everything is correct.I do tip these folks, especially it it takes them away other duties which includes tips.

There is this wonderful thing that the government has access to which is a company's income records. That's where they have to disclose those details of their revenue and their costs. Have you seen those numbers? Do you know their profits? Do you know the increase year after year of those profits?
You sound like a child.
If you don't know those numbers then you have no idea why they are charging what they are charging. But we collective know they are increasing their prices over the increase in costs because their PROFIT IS INCREASING!!
Just because someone will pay what they charge doesn't mean shit when it is a survival need like water, medication, and HOUSING.

Ah so if I wasnt born to a family in a good school district, had an illness that put me on a medication that led me to drug addiction, couldn't physically do a trade or afford college I should just suffer??
Nah, your human right is access to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We went so far as to put that in our constitution. By right of being born I should be allowed access to the means to survival AND the opportunity to do more. If I choose to do more, sure I can have nicer/better things, but I shouldn't have to suffer or struggle to survive. If you disagree with then you should look at who told you that wasn't deserved by everyone by birth right.

I moved to Bellevue about 6 months ago and have been loving it. There are plenty of walkable amenities and I make it to most places around the city in less than 20 minutes by car.
The only real complaint I have is the night life scene is kind of lacking. There are a plenty options to eat but not a lot of places stay open past 11pm.
