This is like the fourth time this has happened when I inquire about a rental and its a bit exhausting. I'm not moving into a 500 Sq ft apartment on a snap decision just because that's the only way a landlord will honor the prices they're advertisingSubmitted by Sunfish-Studio t3_11g4a0i in pittsburgh

Common tactic for big property management outfits that are competing for tenants.

Like the big high rises they’re throwing up in the north shore. But zero initiative to update bridges.

Bridges are the city's responsibility, private developers are throwing up the matchstick high rises with overpriced rents.

We can only handle so much traffic congestion from construction in this city at once. Capitalist projects need to be a last priority. Pittsburgh is blue for a reason. Go to Texas

All new residential construction in the city had to block a percentage of apartments off for the affordable housing program, which provides reduced rent based on income. It's a convoluted program and how "affordable" it is is debatable, but it allows Democrats to claim they are doing something about the current housing crisis.
The city also rakes in the permit fees and other associated costs that come with new construction.
I am not by any means advocating for these buildings, just explaining what goes on behind the scenes a little bit.

I didn’t ask. And you’re not informing me. I’m anti landlord, so all of these points enforce my stance
