oh, u/1ll1l1ll1l1l1l1l1ll1, look it's on the FAQ for the county, so they must get asked this question al ot--

My neighbor has moved out and uses his former home as a rental property. It still has a Homestead Exclusion on it. Is that legal?

No, the owner must use the property as his/her primary residence to qualify for the Homestead Exclusion. We can research that information for you.

I’m out in the nice part of Swissvale with a 3 bedroom house, 1 car garage, and 1.5 bath and our mortgage + taxes is $1000 a month. You could easily buy a whole house in nicer areas of the city for $4500 a month. Don’t pay that shit unless it comes with a live in maid and live in cook.

Eat n Park. Sometimes I go to the one in my neighborhood during a weekday lunch time, and it’s full of people who seem to know each other and the servers seem to know them. It’s adorable. Aside from that, hardware stores! Also check the library, there’s usually events like history talks, knitting groups, board game nights, etc etc. It’s not sandwiches but it’s good community engagement!
