Reply to comment by iSoReddit in Gainey is set to unveil plans to challenge the tax-exempt status of more than a dozen properties in the city, including UPMC and a Propel School on the North Side by sugarandspice85

The city has tried several times to challenge the non-profit status of UPMC, and they fail in court every time.

When? They've never followed through in 2013 because Peduto pulled the lawsuit after winning election, so we don't know what will happen. But there have been four cases recently of hospitals losing HUP test challenges even for main facilities, never mind the sort of parking lot/empty lot parcels that this administration is starting with

There was a case recently where another PA hospital was challenged and they lost. IIRC it was because the way the law works in PA you have to not be "profit motivated" or something, and of course 99% of the executive's emails are about increasing profit lmao.

I'm just a simple country chicken, but I don't understand why "non-profit" company leaders can make 7 figures and not pay taxes, but I gotta shell out thousands every year just to have a cheap house. Isn't housing non-profit? Isn't housing "unrealized gains" as they say? BAAAAAAAAAAAWK.

Ooops, for a second there, I thought you was corn.
