No. No, I refuse. “Acrisure Stadium” is bad enough, but this is a bridge too far.

RIP Lava Lounge karaoke.

If you mean East Allegheny on the north shore by the stadiums, it's OK in that you can either get downtown by taking the train for free (for now) or walk across a bridge, and go from there to anywhere you like.

I am Reddit dad-joke bot and this qualifies as a good one

Not fresh, but crazy cheap to buy spices at las Palmas. Come prepared with the Spanish name of the spice you are looking for.

True dat

Job hop, especially in banking

>there is a megathread

As much as I hate seeing all these posts, in their defense, depending on how you sort posts, the megathread doesn't show. I sort by "new" and have never seen it. They should add an automod reply to new posts about it.

Agreed. Schenley and pisa for adults.

♫ it’s not the mayor’s fault / that the Fern Hollow Bridge collapsed ♫

They won't let me

This is the real answer. If you’ve worked for PNC for twenty years getting their shitty 2-3% raises your real income has tanked over that time

>Pitsburg

Get out

Easy Allegheny is generally referred to the north side...i had to Google it. It's basically downtown, so you won't need public transportation if that's where you are working. I'm not sure where you trying to bus to? Most buses intersect downtown.

I believe it’s considered in the low end of MCOL

Groceries are almost solely due to giant eagle being a POS

It is notoriously inexpensive, actually. It’s like this little forgotten part of the country that no one moves to unless they have to or were born here. But don’t let that fool you, it’s awesome.

The dynamic IS changing, btw. Our medical and educational industries are starting to become attractive draws for some folks, and the overall stability of the region is drawing more interest. Still, it never seems to grow at the pace of other cities and one thing about us is the region isn’t built up as much as say a New York or LA so it can grow without feeling like it has grown or costing more because resources or real estate is more scarce.

But just because it’s cheaper doesn’t mean it’s affordable. That median household income of 53k makes it pretty hard to find a house these days that doesn’t need a bunch of work

Any spot that is next to the busway or next to a t station is pretty damn good for public transportation.

Shadyside is pretty good. Mt. Washington is pretty good.

It depends. If you’re moving from elsewhere and getting a similar salary as NYC, it will feel cheap. For a lot of people though that have lived here and worked through some of the big companies like PNC they tend to pay pretty poorly and COL has really outpaced wage growth here. PNC and UPMC are notorious for paying like shit and not giving raises to existing employees

Yes, it isn't cheap if you've always lived here and made Pittsburgh salaries. And all the people moving here with west coast money has driven up housing to the point where locals can't compete. If I hadn't final won the bid on a house when i did (after being outbid numerous times by non-pittsburghers coming in wit all cash), i don't know if I would have ever been able to buy.

It's entirely possible to rely on public transit. For excellent mobility, I would suggest supplementing it with a bike. I've been car-free for 7 years and have no intention of changing. You may want us visit us at r/CarIndependentPGH, too.

Pitsburg is one of the most polluted cities in the country. You basically live in springfield from the simpsons and just now care about pollution

The only neighborhood with transit that frequent I know of is Forbes / Fifth Ave in Oakland. Most bus lines throughout the region run with 20 minute headways at peak. 30min is pretty typical, and it gets up to 60 or 90 if you’re much further out and/or it’s a weekend.

Also it’s largely a hub and spoke system. Most lines travel through downtown or Oakland at some point, so if that isn’t your origin or destination you’re likely to need a transfer there.

If I move back to Pittsburgh I’d probably try to move to Oakland. It’s dense enough to be a city in its own right (it’s Pennsylvania’s third largest employer behind Philadelphia and downtown Pittsburgh), if that’s your vibe.

If not, head out a mile or two and there are lots of nice neighborhoods that are an easy bike ride or walk into the built-up areas.
