Or they could just use a good inflation adjuster instead of using biased data that caused them to lose the lawsuit

You are funny

Some call that “the playbook”

Houses that haven’t sold for decades are hard to assess and recent sales end up paying a lot higher taxes than older sales. The county is supposed to adjust for inflation but they lost a lawsuit bc they were using biased data to calculate inflation

There's a big fire pit the Boy Scouts use at the Bird Park Drive entrance.

Just because it didn’t happen to you doesn’t mean it didn’t happen to other people

Every sale doesn’t qualify as “fair market value”

Oh and ow are pronounced the same. “ I’m going out of town” is “Ahl be going aht of tahn”

I teach phonemic awareness and both sounds early in education are introduced. So ou, ow, ouch, not sure if it was a Pittsburgh thing or everyone thing or what!

The Cocaine Bear people put out a free online game. It sounds hilarious.

Questionable Pittsburgh relevance aside, what's the difference between "ou" vs. "ow," and are you hearing lots of people saying both of these (particular ou)?

Much more doable and safer if everyone can agree on a standard and we can build that standard into interstates and companies can autonomously haul from point A to B on the interstates and then have humans drive pre A and post B.

For years employers have had to take the local tax out of paychecks for local and state but you still gotta file a tax return with each

Cucina vitale for fancy dinners! If you haven’t gone already, I also recommend cilantro y ajo on Carson. Much more casual but also delicious!

Dish Osteria is a damn gem. Some of the best Italian food in any city, excellent drinks, and dim-and-cozy but not dark-or-crowded type of ambiance. Get a reservation.

Bar Marco, Di'anoias, and Leo Greta are the other wow Italian places, but Dish is walkable *and* for what you want, that's the pick of those four.

Yeah don’t drink the kool-aid. There’s a long and cherished history of Silicon Valley reinventing the bus. Bus, trolleys, light rail, and trains are a much better solution for society: those solutions just don’t allow vulture capitalists to profit obscenely from building out public infrastructure. (Look at Uber squeezing us all for an example of their game plan.)

I guess, but I don’t see how you could square that with private vehicle ownership yeah? You’d have to replace all vehicles on the road, and even beyond that you’d need to completely clear the road of any obstacle. Bicycle? Gotta move. Trash can blown by the wind? Quick clear the road! To me this is why it’s a pipe dream. It’s so much effort for what upside? And then you lose the ability to drive yourself anywhere unless the computer allows it: that’s not fun either.

If a home sold for $X it should automatically be reassessed at $X. Not a penny more or a penny less. I don't understand why it doesn't work this way, it's just obvious. Property taxes are based on the market value, and you have just established an exact market value. Obviously reassessments still need to take place and that's still a thorny issue, but if a house has just sold it seems open and shut.

I used to love riding my bike to pnc park. Would only take like 15 mins. I never did try the ride back up greenfield ave. That's what buses and friends are for.

Big fan of Thai Me Up

Cafe Du Jour has some wonderful French food. It's more of a laid back atmosphere than your typical French restaurant too.
