Reply to comment by Ralph_the_Dude in School students in Sq Hill by soparklion

There's more than generational poverty going on here. I'm from Squirrel Hill. Years ago this problem didn't exist even though there were students from low-income neighborhoods at Dice. Of course, the bus stop was on the other side of Forward, but even then we didn't have the sorts of fracases that we're having now.

Something else is going on here that's causing these issues in recent years. I haven't lived in Squirrel Hill recently, so I don't know what it is.

Where would you recommend living that Doesn't have this problem? Looking into Pittsburgh in the future.

I'm in squirrel hill now and it's been a very minor disruption to my life if any. That's not in any way justifying the atrocious and evil behaviors taking place.

Depending on your work and income some other similar neighborhoods are Shady side, point breeze, parts of east liberty (quickly becoming an attractive spot). All of these have $$$ as a caveat

To add, this is taking place in the southern end of the neighborhood. You wouldn't really be near this if you lived near Wilkins (but $$$).
