In my experience it’s unfairly criticized and is in no way near the condition of Wilkinsburg SD. Wilkinsburg high school had to close due to declining enrollment and funding, Wilkinsburg taxes are astronomical. I don’t think the two are even comparable.

When it opened I described it as 'a bar exclusively for guys who think Axe body spray and a backwards ball cap is a personality, and the women who love them'

Seems like you're just raging. Maybe you should channel all that frustration into something helpful rather than ranting on the internet about "emotional thinking" and how your brother's cousin's roommate is a nurse and that's why you're an expert on addiction

I'm sorry you had a traumatic experience, but you should know we actively expel and remove those kinds of people. It's a huge deal.
On top of that, AC is a family friendly event. The very small amount of Adult themed stuff is behind ropes and curtains and requires an ID to access, or in private hotel rooms where consenting adults do as they wish.

Homelessness has a huge comorbidity rate with addiction. Don't deny services based on mental illness

Awesome. My favorite part of the summer is Anthrocon. I love to walk the streets downtown and take pictures of as many of the attendees as possible.
I try to just be friendly "Hey, you look really great! Would you mind if I take a picture?" The folks I ask always say yes. So fun!
These are some of my favorite pics:

Making them go away without any inconvenience to himself is exactly what Kentucky here wants. He doesn't want to deal with them.

That’s a number that’s hard to even comprehend, most hotels have ~200-300 rooms, so they sold out pretty much every hotel downtown from what I can gather. Pittsburgh in general has a shortage of hotels, both in type and in number, hopefully this can be used as an example for justifying more to be built.

On the surface it's identical to anime and sci fi fandom conventions.
However, I was part of the furry fandom for 20 years. It got me sexually abused and exposed to the absolute worst of sexual fetish culture.
Not every furry is a bad person, but the furry fandom is absolutely home to the most depraved, harmful, boundary violating people I've ever had the displeasure of encountering. I am being literal when I say the furry fandom has cutesy terms for child and animal coded porn. "Cub" and "Feral"
Don't assume a colorful costume has a whimsical, good natured person inside it.

Was scrolling for this. Most disgusting bar owner I’ve ever seen. No idea if he’s still alive, frankly I’d be shocked it sounded like he was on deaths door ten years ago.

Swissvale is the only neighborhood I’ve ever had a neighbor threaten to shoot me for letting my dog step on their property. Threatened to kill my mother in law too (sure, a victimless crime).

Everything. Literally everything. Bad food overpriced drink, falling apart buildings. Terrible employment practices. The guys running it are grifters who know how to polish a turd well but that’s about it. They make their stuff look ok and then everything of substance is the lowest possible quality.

Only if you know that contracted hotel rooms are a thing. To me, the layman, it sounds like there are no more local hotel rooms.

I was a part of the furry fandom for 20 years.
Please, please be careful with your kid. The furry fandom isn't safe no matter how cute and colorful the costumes are. I left the furry fandom far behind after exposing a ring of people cozying up to animal and child abusers for access to "videos"
Not all furries are bad people, but the furry fandom attracts A LOT of sexually abusive people. I don't want anyone going through what I did, especially kids.

> If a homeless shelter goes in there that block is permanently fucked forever.
So what's your solution to the homeless question? Bus tickets to California?
