You do sound confused. Didn’t say they shouldn’t be taxed or the system as it’s set up is fair or how it should be.

My wife works at a small nonprofit that gets a lot of funding from UPMC. She’s worried about this.

why 3 upvotes? There are free recycle drop offs in Pittsburgh. Why would you pay for a dumpster for some broken down cardboard boxes?

Bridgeville is closer to the city though. You’ll sit in more traffic, but the total commute time would likely be around the same.

I’m randomly off because my son had to go to the doctor and… Party Cake is closed! Guess I’m gonna try Bethel Bakery.

is a two unit building only having one water meter normal? Seems odd but maybe that’s how it’s done.
really seems like Crown should be paying for this but not sure what the correct legal answer is. Seems ridiculous that you would have to pay for what is essentially a maintenance issue your landlord missed.

You can hire a lawyer if you want. It costs something like $900 in the end (I think the initial fee was $750 and then to appeal the decision was another $150). My lawyer is saying he’s getting my assessed value down a good bit, though I’m not 100% sure what would have happened if we would have just done nothing. It’s likely though if you own the house for 5+ years that appealing with a lawyer will work out financially for you.
Our process started around January 2021 and just now we have our final hearing in February 2023 so it takes a long time for the process to play out.

Reply to comment by da_london_09 in Does anyone drive through the West End on the morning commute? Can’t figure out the traffic patterns by BeefyHoagie
I guess it definitely ties into that. Of course all traffic in the area is linked together. I put google maps on every morning even though I go the same exact route (just so I can see if anything unexpected is coming up). Weirdly this morning it initially routed me through the Ft Pitt Tunnel then gave me the “faster route available.”

Coming through the West End biz district pretty much right at 8:10 every morning. So I’m pretty consistent. I guess it just is what it is… I also noticed coming home up 376 towards Green Tree seems like less traffic recently then in the past. Weird.

Reply to comment by RottingFishStink in Is there a thread about internet providers in PGH? by meet-kd
FIOS isn’t that expensive really. I have the 300mbps plan. I have my own modem so it’s only $39.99/mo. Unless you have some very specific situation or like 10 people using the internet at the same time in your house, 300mbps is great.
T-Mobile is a good suggestion though. I think they have a trial where you can try it out for free. If Verizon every raised prices I would try them out.

Reply to comment by jnissa in So what was everyone's gas bill for December? by myrichiehaynes
Ours was $508. Highest gas bill I've ever paid.
We have two furnaces though and I'm assuming that cold snap was on this bill. Been seasonally warm since then so hoping for a $300 or so next month.
