I have no problem with both types stats as long as people are specific and not lazy about it.

The City of Pittsburgh has nothing to do with this project, it's not part of the City.

I don't think the URA does anything outside of the City, that's why I doubted it.

>I know URA owns the site,

Where did you read this?

Ah. I thought you meant both restaurants that made it to the semi's moved on.

Did both? The list I saw only had Apteka.

Where in Pittsburgh?

Yeah, that's why OnePGH was garbage. Thank you for outlining.

I didn't reply to you, so not expecting you to have any answer.

Was it a bad idea for Boston? Even Erie gets more from their faux non-profits than PGH.

Here's a better article, which this story deserves.

Was the $115m their contribution for just one year? I think that was multiple years worth.

I'd expect someone with your username to understand the difference between "Central Northside (Neighborhood)" and North Side or Northside as a collection of neighborhoods north of the Allegheny.

I'm not sure where you are referring to, but permits are online: https://pittsburghpa.agencycounter.com/?tab=map

Downvoted for not adding anything to the conversation, probably.

Neighborhoods go through transition and I think East Liberty's latest is balanced, considering.

I know the bitter documentary, if it was ever finally pieced together into one. I'm just glad there are less murders and street prostitutes near my home.

Walking the .75 miles from downtown East Liberty to my home was absolutely not a good idea 20 years ago.

>Are you honestly trying to tell me that if we just let developers do whatever the hell they wanted, those houses would exist?

Of course they wouldn't exist. I never said that and I agree with holding developers accountable! I just don't think the public realizes how much that actually happens. East Liberty is full of affordable housing and luxury housing. It's a success story.

The stories about the buildings coming down are a lot louder than the ones about new affordable housing being built.

Every unit that was demolished in for Whole Foods has been replaced with new builds basically across the street. Did you know that?

Who mentioned downtown?

>Millcraft Development says it will be paying in excess of $400,000 for a zoning review of its proposed Esplanade North Shore redevelopment project.

$400k sounds like an absolute steal for the amount of land and scale of the Chateau Esplanade project. It's like 10 city blocks and half of a City neighborhood.

The reality is that these huge projects need to be reviewed and that costs money to get right. Developers don't want to pay? No one should be surprised.

Hmm I didn't notice that. They must have built towards whatever the specs for the new travel and bike lane reconfiguration will be.

Didn't the developer actually add a sidewalk to a part of Liberty that didn't have one while they built this building with a lane temporarily closed? It's still two lanes until the bike and turning lane project.

Natural feature.
