This is the real answer. If you’ve worked for PNC for twenty years getting their shitty 2-3% raises your real income has tanked over that time

Groceries are almost solely due to giant eagle being a POS

But just because it’s cheaper doesn’t mean it’s affordable. That median household income of 53k makes it pretty hard to find a house these days that doesn’t need a bunch of work

It depends. If you’re moving from elsewhere and getting a similar salary as NYC, it will feel cheap. For a lot of people though that have lived here and worked through some of the big companies like PNC they tend to pay pretty poorly and COL has really outpaced wage growth here. PNC and UPMC are notorious for paying like shit and not giving raises to existing employees

That didn’t last long. The places that went in there are highly disappointing

Great ribs

Suggest moving here.

July 2000? They really saw COVID coming.

I know what you’re saying. I’ve heard they suck and frankly I think mad mex is awful

It isn’t very good

Yep, more than anything 15-20 story apartment towers would help, but we can’t seem to figure out how to do that.

I think a lot of homeowners also have a vested interest in not building these because of you built enough reasonably priced either apartment/condo towers it would eventually lower rent and housing costs

What’s that mean?

You aren’t finding much fkr that price that doesn’t need a good deal of work for that price anymore there

Yes.

Really the only fix is governor sibsidized developments tat build 1-1.5k square foot homes that go for 200-250k. I just don’t know where you build these.

Yeah. That’s constantly the argument I see, that building these lowers prices. However this is just too little to do anything.

You build a thousand homes priced 250k to 350k the maybe it does something

In theory this should drive down surrounding home values, right?

In reality, it probably will raise property values on existing homes.

You’re an asshole

Good luck

Whenever I go to a Thai place I always ask if they are on a 1-5 or 1-10 because the top level will kill you

Unfortunate. Grubhub likely did a stacked order and the driver grabbed the wrong bag at drop off
