My building has a garage across the street that’s part of the Parking Authority. I get a discount for being a resident but still pay a steep $225/month.

OP is already interested in living in the Downtown so I’m not clear on the question. S/he didn’t come here to ask for the best neighborhood but to figure out parking. I’m unclear on why you’d ask (unless you were curious, I suppose).

My building has a garage right across the street. Parking is a non-issue.
Some people may want to live in a historic condo surrounded by the beautiful city scape, you know? Cost doesn’t matter to everyone in the same way; I prioritized the environment over the absolute dollar amount.

🙄 I live downtown and love it. I can’t really understand the negativity around it when it’s so full of character, history, and things to do.

Funny, I moved here from DC and can’t stop raving about how humane the drivers are. Sure, assholes are everywhere, but Pittsburgh has been a massive improvement over the horror that is our nation’s capital.

Despite my pessimism about the state of healthcare training and delivery in the US, the UPMC Presby-Monte-Magee system is very strong. I’d pick Magee - if you’re admitted to Presby that’s an independent poor prognostic sign (it’s a quaternary referral center - only the sickest end up there).
