I worked on a design for one in city limits but it never ended up getting put in. Not sure the reasoning.

Make sure you get someone to actually open up the wall and not just replace the window. There's probably a decent amount of damage if it's been leaking for awhile.

Absolutely not. My (and almost everyone else's in Pittsburgh) vitamin D levels are low so I need every opportunity to produce it.

Sorry it appears you’re a very literal person. You are correct, the buildings would not just physically poof and vanish. Without any profit, why would a landlord be a landlord? So the property would effectively be taken out of the rental market.
Please, explain how this would happen. The current landlords would just….donate….their property to a program for people to buy them at this rate? No landlord is going to be a part of this. The government would then have to greatly subsidize the purchase of 85% of all of the rentals in the US?? To then sell at a low price back to the public?
I understand there is an issue here, but it’s not a simple solution. You have the think about the economic impact of these “solutions” you’re proposing.

Think about the consequences of what you think should happen. The housing supply would pretty much be obliterated. No one would have any incentive to have a rental property if it wasn’t for profit. The housing that would be left would be subsidized, but the amount required for this government funded program would be astronomical. It would basically mean that any rental for anybody would go through the government.

The $1800 a month is net though, the poverty line would be for gross income.

Even though the taxes are higher here, the difference should be the same or less than the HOA you're paying now. You'd be looking at 2-3k a year in taxes all in, so rough an extra $250 a month. I think the utilities would be fairly similar, not including gas, but you can do a budget billing for gas year round so you'd probably be looking at $40-50 a month for that.
In that price range though you're looking at a fixer upper, you won't find a remodeled place, and a lot of those properties will come with issues like needing a new roof, new appliances, etc.

Yup Pitt does use steam for some of that. It’s just really expensive so you’ll typically just see it in sectors that are subsidized in some way. It’s definitely a cool idea it’s just not cheap b

Yeah that’s a college campus, makes sense. It’s not economically feasible for regular building owners to do.

I’ve done HVAC design work in 20+ buildings downtown and I’ve never seen one that uses steam to generate electricity or A/C.

Huh? They do not generate power through the steam. They use steam to convert to hot water and use the hot water to heat the building.

Does no one remember the actual open air market that was there and didn’t do well obviously? I’m so sick of people bitching. If you don’t like what’s being developed, go develop something yourself! No one is stopping you. Cue the downvotes…

OP doesn’t want strategy. OP wants the door location handed to him on a silver platter. He’s very busy and simply doesn’t not have the time.
