If you're OK being a short drive outside the city. Try zip codes 15642, 15636, 15632, 15644, 15085. These are near suburbs east of the city with excellent school districts. while there are many new homes in these areas, there are many homes built in the 50's, 60's & 70's that are solid and a reasonable price.

Don’t want to talk politics, but politics is the thing you open with.. interesting tactic

I have a membership for an indoor range up in Ross/cranberry area. It'd be $10/hr for you, but otherwise I'd be more than happy to take you and teach you some stuff. I'm hoping to become instructor certified one day, and I have a lot of experience around guns. I think it'd be a cool opportunity! I have no interest in discussing politics either, lol.

Companies don't choose a location on a 1% difference in tax rates

It's almost impossible to hear this comment at that high a pitch. I wonder what other animals can hear it...

Rednecks cars on blocks

Are these the kinds of homes that look nice in the front but barebones like a kid drew it in the back, with narrow vinyl wrapped around that dents and warps in a few years?

You can buy a house just as well priced up in Jackson or Lancaster or Forward in Butler, be in SV and still be able to get to 79/228 faster than from freedom area.

Certainly Cranberry helps out Beaver, but there isn’t that much cross shopping.

You can tell by the hardline of development ending at the county border the whole way up to Ellwood City. Land is way cheaper on the Beaver side but the developers aren’t biting.

School districts are largely a matter of perception being reality. SV has an outsized reputation and no district in Beaver is even close.

No housing shortage?

Poor efficiency tiny kitchens tiny bathrooms and the build quality is just as shitty. Everything has been built as cheap as possible since the great depression, ww2, gi bill, baby boom and today.

They developed quite differently. Boston, of course, was right on the shore and developed at a time that the distancea were significantly magnified as the horse was the only means of transportation. Common roads like Mass ave were continued outwards and places like Arlington sprung up. This lent itself to mass transit easily when technolgy caught up.

Greater Pittsburgh developed as mill towns. When Carnegie needed another mill, he looked for the next flat area near the rivers, took a steam ship to the European country struggling the most, and brought 5k or so people over. Built the mill, connected to the railroad, and built a town for them usually in their native language with English subtitles on signs. There was no interest in being connected to anything other than the mill, river, and railroad. They are suburbs now. They were fully independent towns (albeit company towns) then.

Not sure what this has to do with weather. But it does explain the ratio of suburbs to city.

It’s like an empanada but better: chunks of chicken, egg, peas, olives, potatoes

What does a march in Charlottesville that occurred years ago have to do with gun ranges in Pittsburgh, exactly? Assuming that is the event you are referring to.

Might as well stay locked up inside because a serial killer might be roaming around your neighbourhood.

Yes, I have left after observing yahoo behavior. In all fairness, it's come a long way in terms of the type of person who frequents the range now.

I belong to keystone and I like it. They’re pretty chill. Never met anyone that’s gonna force some shit down your throat that you don’t agree with. Also, look at it as a way to meet some people, that you normally wouldn’t be around. You might be surprised how helpful and kind someone that you might think of as an enemy can be. Good luck out there. ‘Murica

Great, I'm having another middle school flashback.

The Verona Get Go definitely has an old man breakfast club

Just a super liberal adult wanting to keep politics out of his gun learning LOL

These more rural areas hate to see taxes go up but then also hate the very development that could help mitigate such tax increases.

Ask any person in construction what they think of the build quality of new homes. Yes, the floor pans are nice, yes they are more efficient. But I doubt they will be here in 50 years. The 1940s-1970s were the best time for modern home building. If you don't agree, you're buying into the hype of the "new home" that's going to be outdated anyway.
