I'd say it's still an incel mindset either way

Edit to explain more - I feel it's evolved from the original meaning to also include misogynistic (and misandristic et al) behaviors based around the idea that someone owes you sexual consideration or favors for really any reason, and the backlash these people display when they don't get it.

Think of the scenario where a person comes on to someone, gets rejected, and says "I didn't like you anyway / you're not attractive anyway / fuck you anyway" as a form of retribution. That's incel to me and it can definitely manifest in "nice girls" type of cultures as well as the more classic "nice guy" archetype

It depends, of course, on what you’re used to spending where you’re from. Overall it’s cheaper than where I’m originally from. Utilities are MUCH higher than what I’m used to but rent is way cheaper too. Groceries are equitable, those are just expensive no matter where you live now. I also love living here so that helps make it all worth it.

Do you know that black people comprise 16% of the population?

According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reports on Crime in the US, in cases in which the perp's race is known, blacks consistently account for:

50% of all murders

34.5% of all reported rapes & sexual assaults.

51% of all armed robberies.

53% of all aggravates assaults.

So, using your logic, if blacks were less numerous, the violent crime rate would be lower, correct?

Shocker.

Based on your question, your situation, and fluctuations in crime around the city lately, I’d consider Greenfield. You’re in the city where transportation is decent, beyond the tunnels for if/when you get a car, near squirrel hill for great eats but reduced price, lesser crime than similar areas as of late, & not considered to quite cross the threshold of trashy. Runner up alternatives that don’t meet all of the same criteria: Bloomfield or Dormont.

It's...serviceable? Pittsburgh usually favors having access to a car, but you'll make it just fine in plenty of areas without one if you're patient. Pretty much all bus with minimal rail line extending south of the city.

The map is misleading as there's tons of elevation change throughout the area. Make sure you don't get taken by surprise when planning out walking routes.
