Coming in with that attitude is a bit abrasive and rude. If you need public transit, your best option in that price range is on the T or S Busway (south hills). Likely off of route 51. We all want to live in safe neighborhoods, but calling certain areas “crackville” is despicable

My apologies. I did not mean to offend anyone. I just know that some areas of every city have a higher than average crime rate and that's hard to ascertain from a simple Google search.

“Crackville” is a pretty solid indicator that you meant that you don’t want to live near Black populations due to historical stereotyping. You could have easily said “best inexpensive apartments that are in a safe area.”

I was trying to change the title and Reddit won't let me, so I put an edit in the very beginning of the post.

Again, not looking offend anyone and the way you phrased it is much better. I'm actually wanting to have a lot more diversity in culture (part of the reason I'm getting the hell out of Florida). Thanks for correcting me.

Are you coming from a rural area of Florida? I feel like statistics would show that Florida cities are more diverse than PGH, but I’m not looking up the stats on that right now. Of course, pearly gated communities won’t reflect that as much - but with your price range Im guessing you weren’t living in those communities

ETA: yeah, PA as a whole is 10% more “white” than FL. Not sure we are the bastion of diversity you think we are.
