Works fine for them, given that it's always full

All of the surrounding suburbs.

That's sad, they're always packed.

It'll leave that niche open, hopefully someone else can come in to fill it.

Because we have better food at the same price point already?

The city is making it harder to get any kind of drive through permit (for good reason.... Even just a Wendy's does horrible things on Baum). So I'm sure we won't get a new chik fil a.

The property millage is lower in the city. And the state doesn't allow the city to collect another kind of corporate tax.

Yeah unfortunately if they're not near the Amtrak line, you're stuck driving.

However, it's probably cheaper to just rent a car when going out to visit.

AAA estimates car ownership costs at $900/mo (including maintenance/gas/depreciation/etc). Not sure how often you visit, but It's probably worth investigating.

25% of Pittsburgh households are car free. You could do it too.

What neighborhood?

Probably, but bridges are expensive. Blood from a stone and all that.

Last I heard is that they won't unless they can find state/federal money to do it.

It's crazy how many people wreck into stationary objects.

Maybe we shouldn't hand out drivers licenses like candy on Halloween.

Amazon will hand over footage from your camera to the police even if there isn't a judge's order.

25% of city households don't have a car.

Anything home cooked usually goes a long way, even if it doesn't turn out good

25% of the city doesn't have a car.

Less than a quarter of PRT's revenue, pre covid, came from the farebox

But we don't really need that much transportation to the airport, compared to other routes.

Hell, the airport is in the process of being downsized.

I think fixing some of the inner city transit issues would provide a lot more bang for the buck.

Electrifying the busway for example would be much cheaper and provide those long term cost savings.

Hell, our current It's rolling stock is well beyond it's original expected life. I bet that's higher on the list for light rail spending.

Unfortunately new subway construction (dig and cover, which would close the road for years) is ~$500+ million/mile. The county doesn't have that money.

Expanding the bus service seems like a more cost effective measure.

You'd have to take over a railroad line, which comes with it's own issues (including cost)

To PIT would probably be best following the north side of the Ohio river, and then cross back over at RMU. There's some spots that way that could potentially be acquired for a right of way (rail lines and a trail) but ultimately would probably have to ride with the traffic on 65. And if you're going to be stuck in traffic, you might as well just be a bus.

Would be great if they could increase the 28x frequency and incorporate some additional dedicated lanes and transit-preference intersection controls.

I don't understand why we have to salt every side road for these snows that stick around for less than a day anyway. Kills cars, roads, bridges, and wildlife.

Should we fund more road maintenance from general funds? Less than half of road maintenance actually comes from use taxes today.

>They are sending our gas over seas

They in this case meaning shell and other giant corporations experiencing record profits.

>you know, after Biden said he would destroy it. But totally wasn't him. Nope. Don't listen to his own words.

I think this is the dumbest thing I've read today. Congrats.
