Reply to comment by TheTunnelMonster in NY Times lists Pittsburgh as having some of the most affordable homes in the country as compared to household income. (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/15/realestate/where-are-the-most-and-least-affordable-homes.html) by Far_Room23
i’m thinking about buying a house soon to get out of rent craziness and id definitely be picky with the area because i want to see friends but people think anything across a river, let alone two, is too far to travel for a hangout :( like if i picked somewhere above northside i’d never see friends who live in the south so ive always chosen to live in the middle triangle, but that’s so limiting.
i also wouldn’t care much about the neighborhood except i take the bus a lot and more affordable neighborhoods have crappy bus access and are mostly food deserts too. none of the city should be inaccessible and lack grocery stores but apparently those are luxuries. a lot harder to find good quality of life in the more affordable places

life hack get go also takes them (at most locations, but not at some like the one in squirrel hill i think) except for prepared foods like anywhere else, so that’s nice because most gas stations don’t take it
