Reply to We need urban food forests in Pittsburgh by fadedrosebud
Not sure about your neighborhood but we need the wildlife managed a bit better where I'm at or else the animals would just gobble everything up.
Anything edible in my yard gets decimated.
I love the idea though and have been planning to turn my yard into more of a food forest or edible permaculture. Still have to figure out the wildlife situation.

I think there should be a special permit for short term rentals, all of them should be on a publicly viewable list and there should be a mechanism for reporting violations and complaints that can result in the permit being taken away.

I had a vacancy I was trying to fill in a duplex over on Tryo Hill and probably 50% of the interest I received was from 3rd parties who wanted to rent from me and then sublet to short term renters.
I only talked to the first two before I realized this was a thing but they stated they are managing several properties in Troy Hill, Deutchtown, and Central Northside which gave me the impression this was somewhat popular and growing.

750 students experiencing homeless is less than 1% of their students (96,000), but it'd be great to see the 1500 millionaires lead the charge to make that number 0.

I don't know but we do have this body appointed by the governor that oversees it all.

Celebrations are great and holidays provide a great opportunity for people to share their culture and its importance with the community.

Kuhn's is a no frills 1990 shopping experience, it's limited in selection but fine.
In East Allegheny you will have the North Side Farmer's Market from May - October, which is great.
At least one of the vendors there (Blackberry Meadows Farms) runs a reasonably priced CSA that you can pick up weekly at the market.

I am but in my 12 years working there I never gave them a dime and never felt like by not giving, they were going to fire me or retaliate against me.

Yeah it sucks.
And if you work for a large corporation, there is usually a time in the year where they pass the hat around and ask all employees to contribute to the PAC and to assume that whatever the PAC supports is in the best interest of the company, and therefore in yours as well as an employee.

As a child I had my finger smashed playing around with a DEP abandoned oil well.
30 years later, my finger is still misshapen and the well is still there, unplugged and accessible for the next generation to learn a lesson.
Thanks for posting the map!

Not yet, right now they just hire lobbies to write the laws and hand them to our lawmakers who don't even read them prior to voting.

The Zenith is an enjoyable unique experience with good (and cheap) food but it could be a really bad time if your date is uptight.

Reply to Asked to conserve electricity on Christmas eve. What is even going on anymore by CoolHandMike
The world has committed to an energy transition, we have a semi-world war going on, we're dealing with high inflation and we've got record levels of government debt growing out of control.
Despite those realities, US consumption levels have increased since COVID.
It's not great and I think it'll get worse before it gets better.
Go with the generator until the gas company sends us the same notice.

I also bought an old house, closed floorplan, dated throughout, has no AC, cheap price.
I like it, it's not for everyone.
I haven't put any money into it yet but all my friends ask what I am going to do with it.
Live in it (cheaply) mainly.

If the industry is so critically vital, nationalize it and let government intervene that way, not by nullifying the collective bargaining rights of union workers.

No, I want to replace convenient stores and similar food desert for profit type stores with grocery stores that are owned and operated by our government, something they are actually very good at and are currently doing on some scale.

Our government (department of defense) already operates over 230 commisaries in all sorts of areas of varying safety.
Why not extend their duties to providing safe and secure access to food for low income americans?
Since it's under the DOD I'm sure funding wouldn't be a problem.

Yes!
We also have a lot of groundhogs, some turkeys, raccoons, and not sure what else and I don't exactly know who eats what other than deer, which will eat nearly anything!
Side note, I love watching the turkeys!!!
