Reply to comment by YIMBYYay in Gainey is set to unveil plans to challenge the tax-exempt status of more than a dozen properties in the city, including UPMC and a Propel School on the North Side by sugarandspice85
It’s a publicity stunt to placate the people that voted out peduto because he refused to pick a fight with upmc and cmu. I do like the idea of going after parking garages though bc it will incentivize public transit

The City of Pittsburgh, the Sports and Exhibition Authority, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the state all say that they don’t have jurisdiction over the matter.
The only agency assisting is the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission.
I am so confused on why none of them have jurisdiction or none of them are working together into solving the problem that desperately needs addressed!?
KDKA stated “The commission confirmed the owner has been contacted but is unwilling or unable to remove it.” Is the spent going to face any responsibility or pay any fees or will it just be a wash and the taxpayers have to pay

Luke Combs 4/29. I think we’re aiming to be in an actual lot, unfortunately. Thanks!

They ignored it because it’s a fools earned to rob Peter to pay Paul. Primary voters were upset at peduto over this and it cost him his job so Gainey is going to do this publicity stunt to placate the voters who would rather cut off their nose to spite their face and think turning our hospitals and universities into for profit enterprises is a net benefit

The parking passes on stubhub for the show I’m going to on 4/29 are currently $175… so I wanted to make sure that was my only option. Thanks for the insight!

Upmc doesn’t make a profit. The real issue is their large marketshare. They should be broken up into smaller pieces

The c suite bonuses are an insignificant fraction of UPMC’s budget and they are taxed as income. Look at for profit hospitals and how much money they give to Wall Street investors. This is a distraction from the real issue of market concentration - UPMC is too big and should be broken up into smaller pieces to improve competition that would drive down health care costs for residents. I don’t think charging upmc property taxes will come out of executive bonuses. It is robbing Peter to pay Paul - it will lower residents property taxes but raise hospital bills. Pushing hospitals and universities to operate as for profit companies is a scary idea. I think the whole state needs to figure out a solution for hospitals and universities to contribute to city services without designating them as for profit.

Looking at Apple maps, I’m seeing that 28 North is closed between Millvale and Etna for an accident

They do, which includes both recovery and disposal so it’s usually pretty massive. But the problem is that generally these boats are abandoned because the owner is no longer around to care for them (jail, death, moved back to a foreign country, etc.) so the majority of these end up getting paid for by our tax dollars. These boats are worth a ton of money so they usually don’t end up in such a sunken state unless the owner suddenly exists the picture.

I'm as crunchy as they come, but this is bad info. I wouldn't hesitate to use an herbicide on Tree of Heaven, because that's the only practical way to kill off the roots if it's living next to a building foundation. It's not like you can physically remove it, unless you plan on excavating the side of your house.

Thank you. I wasn't sure which is why I hedged, but I've never parked there for a non-steelers event.

I think the issue is UPMC should be broken up into smaller pieces like separating insurance and hospitals and spinning off a few hospitals so they don’t own half the hospitals in the county. The non profit status is a deflection from the real issue of market concentration.
