Sheeeeee-it. Rookie mistake.
Smart homeowners board up a window and tag the facade before reassessment.

Telling Pittsburghers how things work “where I come from” while asking them for information is going to work out great for you guys. Good luck!

Because of the party nomination? I’m sincerely into hearing who’d be better.

Wowzers. Thanks for the link - I remember this story and didn’t make the connection. I don’t usually do yard signs for local elections, but this guy sounds sign-worthy!

Thanks for this perspective.
He struck me as honest and unassuming… which is not how I would describe most attorneys I know. I’m always going to be impressed by candidates that do their own legwork and ask for support.

She’s not accused anymore - dead-eyed Methany is guilty.

A Republican stealing from the city (and a charity) while committing tax fraud and taking undisclosed payouts from a fracking company that does business with the city - it’s like corrupt Pennsyltucky personified.

This is normal and if you live in a house like this you’d just make sure everything drained and run a dehumidifier.
A heat pump, forced air furnace or AC unit running would suck this up in no time. I don’t treat most Pittsburgh basements as living space - you’d have to excavate and waterproof from the exterior to really solve the problem - Drylock on the interior is rarely a good idea.
That being said, lots of homes here have clogged/no gutters and no drainage plan. I kept my basement dry by improving the downspout layout.

Maybe they should not be using a social space as a search engine and stop being suspicious of the piles of genuine advice people have so generously provided?

Stay in Ohio. It’s more your speed.

Reply to comment by Evorgleb in Alternate Title: City of Pittsburgh sues to keep ownership of dilapidated housing, preventing them from being redeveloped by asdropen11
I’d love to drop some knowledge bombs!
It’s a relic from when houses cost less than an used car. I’m pretty confident that the powers that be are trying to do as few of these sales as possible, because now it means selling a lot worth $25k+ for $400 to a neighbor.
I maintained the lot next to my house for a decade and filled out the paperwork. It takes about a year or two if you’re approved and you can’t have any major code violations or owe any tax or utilities. My neighbors got rejected for a week-overdue water bill, for example.

Buying my side lot took about ten years and I think I had to start the process over at least three times due to “lost” paperwork and staff turnover.
The city seems to be doing its best to rollback the side lot program, but won’t sell lots individually - only in groups to developers.

They were all Q-anon lunatics that withdrew from society to let their various mental problems metastasize.
I don’t think they thought it was about politics, but I can draw a straight line for you from Trumpy-Qanon-Evangelical-homeschooled beliefs (and conspiratorial media consumption) that leads right to delusions, depression, isolation, paranoia and thinking that murder/suicide is the best course of action.

They were Trump-loving “conservatives” with a yard full of raggedy political and anti abortion signs - they make society worse for all of us. Made up religions that worship fascist politicians don’t deserve my pity.
Fuck ‘em.

Worse. Trump worshiping religious fanatics.
>”They were just so hell-bent on Trump winning, like this could be in the end if he doesn’t,” Stabley said, referring to an instance when he saw them just before the 2020 election. He said he stopped seeing the two after that.
I don’t have any empathy left for these people.
E: Spamming my inbox with messages from the suicide help bot is a good example of why people like me can’t be bothered to give a shit what happens to you stupids.

The East Liberty location was/is a cool space. Square Cafe occupying that whole separate restaurant and leaving both empty every evening is such a waste.
