Don’t worry, once we’ve helped them come for immigrants and trans people, they’re sure to be appeased and dedicated to solidarity in our great big tent and not come after anyone else, as history teaches

Again Bouie from the top rope

There is no compromise policy Democrats can offer Republicans to make them act normal on this issue. We simply have to state the basic reality — immigrants contribute to our country in myriad ways — and fight for it. I don't know how so many journalists convinced themselves this isn't an option.

“If it continues like this, democracy [there] will not last another six months."

Substantively, you can certainly have land use reform without rent regulation, or vice versa. But politically, I think they have to work together as two sides of a program of challenging the power of big landowners on behalf of tenants (and aspiring homeowners.)

Seems bad???

The homeless are painful to look at because they remind us of how unfair our world is, of how much suffering it contains, of how arbitrary and undeserved and precarious our own comforts and health are, of how we have failed to be sufficiently generous and merciful to others.

This was not on me and @eatgaylove42069.bsky.social’s 2025 Bingo Card

"An urban tree canopy of at least 40% results in the most cooling – as much as four to five degrees Celsius (seven to nine degrees Fahrenheit)."

put street trees everywhere you can in a neighborhood, make curb cuts so that their roots can absorb storm water from the street, grow native plants around their base, check back in five years and count how many welfare and health measures have improved

“…this is a part of a larger push from corporate landlords who have lobbied the Trump administration to reduce eviction protections for tenants. ‘Housing providers right now are looking for ways to speed up the eviction process to make it easier to get tenants out,’ she said.”

Housing advocates, hosts split on bill to regulate short-term rentals in Pittsburgh New short-term rental regulations may be on the way. However, some have varying opinions on how this should be executed.

Do you see new neighbors every week? Pittsburgh City Council is considering new legislation to regulate short-term rentals.

Denver City Council abolishes parking minimum requirements for new development Developers can now build new housing and business complexes without including a set number of parking spots.

"City planners pointed to other major cities in the United States that have abolished parking minimums, like Austin and Minneapolis. They found that those changes led to reduced development costs, more housing units and improved walkability and transit options..."

“The cuts would jeopardize the financial viability of projects that rely on rental subsidies for operating revenue. Developers warn that this threatens to destabilize the broader housing finance system.”

Pierogies remain undefeated

ICE and allies hit Ambridge with ‘most intense’ roundup yet seen in Pittsburgh region Beaver County law enforcement partnered with federal immigration agents in the “most intense” roundup to date. Two bystanders were also arrested.

“Our average police force who are sworn to protect and serve, were cooperating with ICE in ripping families apart, taking people off the street for the color of their skin …They’re terrorizing people.”

Penn Plaza eviction notices, 10 years ago, energized Pittsburgh’s affordable housing debate Evictions driven by gentrification at East Liberty’s Penn Plaza changed the narrative of Pittsburgh displacement and alerted many to the affordable housing crisis.

This evening affordable housing advocates rallied in East Liberty on the 10th anniversary of the notices to Penn Plaza residents that eventually scattered them to make way for Whole Foods, offices and parking. @stephstrasburg.bsky.social was there www.publicsource.org/pittsburgh-p...

How are 19 single family homes with 2 car garages “transit oriented development”??? 🤦🏻‍♂️

U.S. House subcommittee backs Pa.'s Lee's effort to subpoena Epstein files Democrats have taken renewed interest in Epstein, a wealthy financier who was accused of sexually abusing, trafficking and abusing children for years prior to his death behind bars in 2019.

A subcommittee of the U.S. House of Representatives has approved a motion by Rep. Summer Lee of Pittsburgh to issue a subpoena for files related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

East End tenants accuse Riparian Management of hostility and greed Riparian Management's tenants say they’ve faced utility problems, poor communication, and sudden notices to vacate.

Riparian Management bought up most of Wylie Holdings' massive portfolio of Lawrenceville real estate — then basically ghosted their new tenants and kicked many of them out of their homes. My latest (Pt. 1 of 2)

Possibly this is a Northeast-specific perspective, but in my experience you never see the main opposition to upzoning and land use reform coming from affordable-housing advocates. It’s always from people who just like cars and parking lots!

Happy 35th to GHOST. Saw a sneak-preview of it with DAYS OF THUNDER. I remember two burly guys came in after me loudly complaining about having to sit through a sissy movie just to see DAYS OF THUNDER. After GHOST ended, one of them was crying and the other one was comforting him.
