Reply to comment by Aggravating_Foot_528 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
Those listed as private owner are mostly single family homes or vacant lots. Curious to see how/why they were ever listed as tax exempt.

Interesting. I’ll have to read up on that. It makes sense in rural areas that can’t support multiple hospitals but I think upmc owns too many hospitals in Allegheny county.

Worse than worthless it would have a substantial negative value.

There is a non profit exemption with hospital systems in antitrust law, so it would have to come back to the non profit issue anyway, unless congress would pass a law taking away the anti trust exemption.

But they also won’t release names or confirm if someone is there or not unless the person gives permission.

- It was $115 million in pledges including money the non profits are already spending on charitable giving over 5 years. No new dollars actually hit the streets in seven-ish years of negotiations. UPMC would have done a significant $40 million up front on housing (with a possible preference for their own employees?), but then the combined contribution of every non profit would have been only about $15 million a year for five years, including loans (see below.) There was no commitment beyond the five years.
- None of them money would have been democratically accountable to elected government/the citizens since they would have gone to the One Pittsburgh non profit organization who had an un-elected board of directors. So if Pitt said they wanted their contribution to go to a Mon Valley connector, they could have determined that since it wouldn't have gone through city budgeting/voting.
- The $115 million also would have included low interest loans -- which is hardly a grant -- from PNC, Citizens, and FNB to community development organizations.
If Peduto got the proposal operating in time, maybe he would have been re-elected, but he didn't.

There's a story about it that says the owner is either unwilling or unable to get the boat, whatever that means

When? They've never followed through in 2013 because Peduto pulled the lawsuit after winning election, so we don't know what will happen. But there have been four cases recently of hospitals losing HUP test challenges even for main facilities, never mind the sort of parking lot/empty lot parcels that this administration is starting with
