Obviously that's possible . You assume that Pittsburgh is where they want to live .
There's still value to being inside a tech hub.
There's also , you know, beach towns, no tax states, lake houses, mountain houses , NYC, so cal.

Reply to comment by Fake_Name_6 in It was too nice out today for me to not enjoy a walk in Frick Park down the Homewood Trail and back up the Tranquil Trail. by Costanzaslife23
You can also go up the hill to the west side of the bridge and walk through the cemetery to the northern end of the park. Really nice walking on that route, too.

Yes. Long-haul trucking should basically not exist.
And short-haul trucking usually requires someone to unload the truck. If they're getting paid anyway, they might as well drive, too. Robots are expensive.

Reply to Please don’t shame me, but is the County of Allegheny- Weinstein taxes, the tax that your escrow typically pays? by toolatetobeoriginal
Why does your escrow only pay 1 tax? My escrow pays my county tax, city tax and property taxes. If your escrow only pays 1 of the tax. You’ll want to reach out and find out which tax they pay if they really only pay 1 of those 3.

Autonomous, at least in the sense that this company and others are looking to do is purely highway driving, for now. Last mile autonomy is still a long ways off.
Locomotive shutdown because venture capital money is locking up due to interest rate increases. And there are dozens of other companies working in the same space that have better/more advanced tech. Volvo, Mercedes, and others are pouring billions into driverless semis so there’s little need for a CMU startup in Pittsburgh.

I test FSD systems and promise you that these systems have improved greatly. Just because they’re not ready yet doesn’t mean they are a failure. Just needs another few years to cook. Realistically level 3 systems for highways could already be there if companies prioritized it. Everyone jokes abt tesla but autopilot has been a rock solid lane keep system for half a decade, and has been on sale for years.

They aren’t going anywhere, if they even live here, because remote work exists for highly paid engineers.
Source: both my wife and I live here and work for companies in other tech hubs.

Reply to Tables turn on Allegheny County assessments, as new math favors owners over tax collectors, schools by RadioChris1
Closed in March 2020. My reassessment in '21 was fundamentally fair. Can we friggin' stop talking about this as exclusively an assessment issue?!? Until a few good candidates can also successfully communicate and explain the absurdity of our millage rates we're going to be eternally stuck in this crap. There IS a way to fairly fund our schools.

At this point it has become a state issue, which I’m sure they will ignore. You either require regular assessments to avoid the newcomers tax, or find other revenue streams. A land value tax would take care of this, but that will never happen.

You should get you water tested and the results will let you know what kind of filters you need.

I think it’s more of a horseshoe theory of social media, where Reddit and Nextdoor are both comprised of people who have never been outside, but the ones on Reddit were by choice and the ones on Nextdoor were because mom thought it was too unsafe
