Reply to comment by uglybushes in Is living in Pittsburgh expensive? by Ordinary_Promise7748

Yes, it isn't cheap if you've always lived here and made Pittsburgh salaries. And all the people moving here with west coast money has driven up housing to the point where locals can't compete. If I hadn't final won the bid on a house when i did (after being outbid numerous times by non-pittsburghers coming in wit all cash), i don't know if I would have ever been able to buy.

This is the real answer. If you’ve worked for PNC for twenty years getting their shitty 2-3% raises your real income has tanked over that time

That's pretty much in line with inflation so your real income would actually be pretty similar. Not tanked.
