NICE. Thank you!! I swear this pressure washer is the best purchase as a new homeowner. It's so fucking fun. And satisfying. I can't wait to clean the siding on the house now. Garage is a different story - it has weird algea looking shit growing on it but the siding is super cheap. May try it with a hose and this cleaner. Can't wait!

One of the big reasons people keep moving out to exurbs like Cranberry Township is to enjoy subsidized infrastructure at artificially low tax rates. So yes, when their rates go up to what they should be, it's good.
 
Your tax dollars subsidize this hopping from development to development in search of artificially low taxes.

Yeah, I'm sure some guy in a $700K Cranberry Township McMansion is going to go homeless over this.

Everything is more complicated with that tunnel. Having once spent 2 hours inside a closed tunnel waiting on state police engaged elsewhere, it doesn't even take something major to snarl. Don't know why state police are required to clear the scene but they are. Now every time I go thru those tunnels I think about the afternoon I spent sitting on the barriers with the dude who smashed into me. He apologized 9,000 times and his boss showed up on scene to scream at him (he was driving a work truck). Then we were given the finger from 9,000 people who had been stuck in traffic outside the tunnel once they reopened. good times.
