It's not within local control, Harrisburg needs to change the law first
So much for a "balanced budget" π
You have 18 IPAs ... to drink βΊοΈ
If you see me on transit, always say hello π
My ebike only goes up to 20mph
You are very brave! I usually bike up and over Mt Washington
Wait, you scooted through the Liberty tunnel?
How did you rack up 35 miles? Did you scoot all the way from North side to Mt Lebanon?
Massive W for South Hills residents, IMO! Crosstown route from Carnegie over to Brentwood via Dormont, Brookline. A Carrick to East Liberty route. SO GOOD π
PRT Bus Line Refresh map is out!
"Riders and operators told us the first draft changed too much, too fast. They asked for fewer disruptions, stronger Downtown access, and better off-peak service. The second draft reflects that feedback by scaling back changes and preserving strong, familiar routes"
Although - many of the south hills routes in the 'refresh' will take advantage of the Brentwood loop!
Was this back when the T went right over the Smithfield st bridge?
Yep, sadly there are very few loops anymore π
True! I wish they'd restore it because as a south hills resident, Penn Station is an amazing transfer from the T! (I even spoke to the Trib once about my love of Penn Station: triblive.com/local/pittsb...)
Lots of downtown routes are now ending at Penn Station - will they maybe bring back T service? π€

Building more housing gets more people housed. End of story. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
βHousing for whom?β assumes a zero sum world in which we have to choose between building new market rate housing and building subsidized housing for poor people.
No such tradeoff exists. We can let the market serve people who can afford market rate housing AND subsidize housing for those who canβt.
Even more evidence that building new housing decreases rents: Researchers tracked the residents of a newly built luxury condo building and found that they freed up less expensive apartments nearby.

I love so many things about this photo, and one of them is- no matter how you rotate it, it looks fabulous. Also shout out Oakland!!! Hella good! π

I'm glad they didn't build offices, maybe now it can become housing! π€
How can anyone take serious a man with hair looking like that?
Most likely the density wasn't allowed, let alone the min lot size and setbacks required. Everything here that starts with R1D means single residential detached - which is basically all of Greenfield.
if you lived here, you'd be home by now
your only choice is to move to Beechview
come to Beechview π
Hey #Pittsburgh - let's build more versions of these, please! π€©
That was also urban renewal
Park View Three on the north side is 11 stories, and you would not be able to build this under today's zoning
