I've had good luck with South Hills Movers. Both on a very narrow street (but not alley way) and with a 'down the street move' where they had to carry everything about 100 yards from one house to another.

That's really good to know thank you so much. It's just such a pain with how Pittsburgh is set up some days to navigate stuff like this.

The CLR (Common Level Ratio) for Allegheny County has been lowered significantly to 63.5% for 2022 and 63.6% for 2023. This means that the property assessment should be approximately 64% of the current market value of the property.
Your tax assessment of 65% seems very fair considering it is a brand new home. I doubt it is worth appealing to get that extra 1 percent off, to be honest.

Is there a prize for winning this contest? Because Allegheny County doesn't care.

I'll do it. I've read more than one pamphlet on virtualization before, so I think I'm qualified.

And what I’m saying is it’s hypocritical to try and reduce your taxes if you’re the type of person who bitches about others lowering theirs

Okay- are you offering this like a tour that people can do with you? On an app? I'm super curious, it sounds like a fun idea!

Nobody pays 100% because the assessments are equalizes to a bae year of 2012 and there is an annual adjustment for inflation called the common level ratio. There is a lawsuit over how to calculate the CLR because the county has been purposely submitting biased data. The county says house prices have only increased 19% or 2% a year since 2012 which is absurd and the judge set the ratio at a more accurate 63% or about 4% a year since 2012

I would definitely recommend checking with 2 Men Labor. They did at great job at a extremely reasonable price for me--planning to hire them again in a couple of months to move back in after a reno. Call/text Moses at (412) 819-7927.

I used Make Moves LLC, and I cannot say enough good things about them. I had a VERY narrow staircase at my old apartment, and the driveway was on a narrow side street with a tight corner. They navigated it so well. They also had the cheapest estimate. They were very fast. I found out about them by asking on this Reddit page!

Set up a tolling scheme for the ducks that use the rivers to go around the island. Their freeloading needs to end.

Firestone does PPI for like $25 and it's thorough. We've done that twice in the last year (Wexford).
First was Carvana (title/reg was not a problem on that-- cash purchase makes it easy) due to wanting very specific spec and also southern car (no rust).
Second was local dealer in Wexford. Both were satisfactory experiences.
At the Yaris/Fit pricepoints you're not going to have much downside potential, they're-- no offense intended-- the most basic of basic cars. Just be VERY careful regarding corrosion and good service history as typically entry level car owners are a combination of disengaged and expense-averse.

I didn't do any of that.
Hence, my failure.
