If someone disagrees with me, I'd be curious of places they had in mind, but Pittsburgh is not really a club city. Especially the kind of clubs I think you would be looking for. This is definitely much more of an arena with a bar/pub scene over clubbing.

It’s beautiful for sure, and with 2.5 bathrooms and off street parking in Lawrenceville plus a swank balcony … but yeah, that price blows my mind. I’d be wiped out. I guess if OP has the cabbage and wants no fuss luxury while searching for a dream home that satisfies every need, go for it.

Yes, those are exactly the statistics to which I'm referring. They show marital and living status but don't actually detail parental involvement or family strength. Do you have stats on that?

Here’s a starter pack for you, but feel free to do your own research if you don’t like what you see: https://fathers.com/the-consequences-of-fatherlessness/

It’s obvious that, even if the majority of the issues that correlate with fatherlessness are economic, then fatherlessness is a serious economic issues that perpetuates cycles of poverty and the associated social problems. The extent to which it’s a problem when controlling for class is in an interesting one, and I’m open to debate on that point.

Do you have any evidence saying that fatherlessness is not a serious problem? Because I haven’t found any that isn’t anecdotal or specious.

I dunno what kind of organizations you belong to or people you associate with but all the leftists I know are working class.

It sounds like you’ve never had the misfortune of being a heretic. I don’t recommend it for everyone, but there is something rather liberating about excommunication.

In the broadest definition, most lefties are working class. But if we’re going to have a serious discussion about modern class structure, then most hyper-active lefties are downwardly mobile PMC at best, or straight up Ivy League brats at worst.

You're cool with letting that racist shit be said because the thing which you find really objectionable is your perception that leftists are nothing but virtue signaling elitists.

Do you think scolding working class people for being concerned about criminal elements fucking up their neighborhoods because there are icky racial dynamics at play, and because they don’t phrase things using the delicate language of the academy, makes the left come off more or less like virtue-signally elitists?

Which doesn't even make a whole lot of sense-- what political side doesn't take a moral high ground and virtue signal and scold those who don't follow it?

The ones that win.

Do you think the average CIO organizer went around chastising steelworkers for their social prejudices? Or do you think they brought a diverse group of working class men together through common struggle, and let that shared material experience and struggle for dignity take the lead in overcoming the bigotry that the bosses tired incite?

For a new 21 year old do the east Carson st gauntlet. It’s only fun when you’re 21-22, believe me

One of the few south side bars where I feel like I won’t get accidentally involved in a gang war or see a girl get molested in front of me

Not far off! The important part is Coco Lopez specifically for the coconut cream and a bit of Demerara syrup. Don’t cheat yourself out of a whole drink’s worth of tequila, 1oz is too low. Lime stays as is, coco Lopez amount is equal to the tequila you use.
