They have Meijer stores in Youngstown and Cleveland now. Western PA could very well be their next expansion region.

I’d love to see Meijer eat Big Bird’s lunch.

The common level ratio is being lowered. There will be a large amount of homeowners able to lower their property taxes because of it. 2022 assessment appeals are being reopened because of it.

The lawyer reaching out to you can do the math in your circumstance.

I have a somewhat similar story. I visited Pittsburgh once to catch a game between my home team and the Pirates. The city and its residents were so fun that Pittsburgh immediately became a city I wanted to move to.

Cost of living is wildly different in different parts of the region and even within neighborhoods. You can find apartments as expensive as NY/SF. You can find cheap apartments.
If you buy a house, pay careful attention to the property taxes. Real estate websites are uneven on capturing the public records for the property taxes here. And the local school district will likely appeal to increase your property taxes if they are currently low.
If you have a car, dedicated off-street parking will make your life significantly easier.
