We could get rid of school property taxes and only use property taxes for municipality and county services and instead fund schools using an equitable and just distribution of state income tax (double it and make it progressive) The city has school property taxes half of most surrounded municipalities. That works for the city because it doesn’t have as many retired people as the suburbs.

Try to find a couple of indoor ranges where you can rent a gun. Range USA just opened in Robinson (I haven’t been yet), but I know there are a few more out there. Most of the time the people there will guide you if you tell them it’s your first time. They’ll tell you the best firearm to start with, show you how it works, and give you the basics on safe handling.

In addition, start googling PA gun laws. Even if you don’t plan on purchasing one right away, it’s good to familiarize yourself with what the laws in Pennsylvania are when compared to other states.

Yeah welcome to trying to buy a house in Pittsburgh. Been at it for 6 months, lose bids in terrible fashion (even when we are the highest bidder someone else waives inspection). It’s annoying, most of the houses are over priced or need A LOT of work. Feeling your pain on this.

Could be that the mail service was shut down on your street or at your address. Sometimes the post office shuts down service because of aggressive people, dogs, or other dangerous situations like icy walkways, collapsing stairs or porches, etc. Your mail might be at the post office, waiting for you. Bring a bag or two.
