I hate tax money sitting unused if there's no reason to save up (if there is a reason let me know)

Also I have no idea what it'd look! I just was casually reading the city budget to see how pittsburgh money is spent when I saw this post.

I know, why I was thinking some sort of political deal between parties seeking funding could be made. Not that's it's likely to happen or be possible.

Yeah I rented a brand new apartment for like…$700 a month in a very urban area of Lansing. A similar apartment here is easily 1600+. I never know how these places get their numbers because as someone who’s lived both places, Pittsburgh is way way more expensive.
One of my advisors in school bought a nice 3 bed 2 bath house close to MSU for like $150k. Unheard of here to pay that for an actually livable building near any amenities.

I remember going down to the Joe and Cobo and Greektown in the early 90s and large parts of Detroit were pretty downtrodden then too. And it got magnitudes worse after the great recession. Ditto with Cleveland. Pittsburgh dodged a bullet with that one.

Can someone please overlay this with median household income? This table is interesting but it would be an added bonus to see, like others have eluded to, how much money people are making in these places. I presume Pittsburgh has a higher median household income than most of these places but that would just be a guess.

That's such a great opening line. It's so attention grabbing. Like this is a smart, educated writer. This is definitely someone who is developing schizophrenia.

Imagine a restaurant that cares enough to wiretap every table to cater to the customers' whims, but also only serves fresh rolls to those who complain.

The one you’re thinking of still carries local train traffic.

I noticed that, too.
To my point above re: living in Michigan, seeing median vs. mean home prices reminds me of looking at house value data in Detroit a couple years after the '08 collapse. At one point, median house prices there got down to something insane like $10k. The mean value was significantly higher due to homes owned by extremely well-off people.
edit: It was $7,500. Wow.

We live in the city of Pittsburgh and got an email today. In the past the communications talked about a partnership with the imagination library and Peduto so it might just be Pittsburgh cut it

Reply to comment by burritoguitar in Worst bars in Pittsburgh (saw this on the Cleveland subreddit) by NorthsideBurghler
Comparable in what way? I would say many other bars have cheaper drinks and/or better drink specials (my benchmark is usually Shadyside Mario's), though given Coops location it's probably comparable to other nearby bars in the Strip and Cultural District. The biggest issues I have with coop is that's it's model of paid arcade games and expensive drinks (albeit in an area where expensive drinks are typical) makes it worse than than many arcade bars I have been to (which includes those outside of Pittsburgh)

Is this just the city of Pittsburgh that is cutting it? We are in Munhall and I just got my son’s first book last month and haven’t heard anything about getting the last book.

Absolutely nothing. Sharing desks, keyboards, mouses …. I will be investing in lots of Clorox wipes!

I spent my early childhood in Chambersburg, and I remember it being a cute little town. That being said, I am going to bet that salaries there aren't as high as they are in Pittsburgh. I started out my post-college life in rural PA, and I moved to this area so that I could get a job in downtown Pittsburgh and double my salary.

I saw some of those floors during Doors Open Pittsburgh, really nicely outfitted, at least from a style standpoint. I don't like the super-open layout (privacy/noise issues) but they look sharp.
