Reply to comment by [deleted] in Opinions on Swissvale? by A-Fry-Guy

In my experience it’s unfairly criticized and is in no way near the condition of Wilkinsburg SD. Wilkinsburg high school had to close due to declining enrollment and funding, Wilkinsburg taxes are astronomical. I don’t think the two are even comparable.

Uh the taxes are absolutely comparable

Woodland Hills has a millage of 26 (third highest in the county behind USC and Brentwood)

Wilkinsburg is 24.

Factor in municipality for homes of comparable value, (i.e. homes between Kelly and S Braddock or Blackridge) and the difference is visible. IMO Swissvale governance puts money to use that Wilkinsburg doesn’t.
