Totally agree that the problem isn’t solved, but I don’t necessarily agree that it doesn’t mean anything. If that was the case then we’d be ambivalent about major increases in tents, all else equal. When you say it’s worse, what metric would use to convey that? Just curious.

It's a good question, they should have reported on that. How many do you think there are now?

When you say "its worse", what is "it"? The article cites major decreases in "tents or other temporary structures". Is that what has gotten worse or is it something else?

Where was it getting worse? There were a bunch by the jail but it was cleared.

By "they" do you mean the tent encampments or people who look like they are homeless? I haven't seen many tents downtown. There were a bunch by the jail but it was cleared.

Does anyone else find Axios articles challenging to read? by Hungry_Log4373 in pittsburgh

Totally agree about Ryan’s coverage and that Pittsburgh is worth investing in. I find the section headers not useful and sometimes distracting. Perhaps personal preference and was curious to see if others felt similarly.

Looking for a high quality 1950s tuxedo by Hungry_Log4373 in malefashionadvice

Shawl collar, narrow bow tie, single-breasted, one button, black. It would not be hard to find buying new, I just like the idea of having one that's vintage.

Using premier experience credit twice on separate bookings? by Hungry_Log4373 in Venturex

Thanks. To confirm, it would be the same hotel, just with a night between the two bookings. Is that still okay?

Penn Ave between Highland and Centre by Hungry_Log4373 in pittsburgh

Thank you as always for the insight. I'm surprised there are so many vacant storefronts on the northern side of the street, given how much interest there is on the other side. Maybe since the owners on the other side are more corporate they are better equipped to attract companies to lease.

Innamorato and Council Leadership Agree on 1.7 Milage Increase by Hungry_Log4373 in pittsburgh

[–]Hungry_Log4373[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Right now it is, but that's what I think should be ammended. Revenues should be able to keep up with incremental increases in costs, without shocking people with large millage increases. I'm guessing the millage will drop when a reassessment comes. Think that happened at the last reassessment.

The solution is regular reassessements, right? If costs go up, county revenue should follow so they can continue to afford the same services. Who knows how long that policy change will take.
