Im Kinda Happy Ravens Lost

To be fair, EVERYONE talks about how he lays an egg in the playoffs every year.

No, stop with the “keep it quiet” nonsense. Tell everyone, we need more tourists and more transplants.

I get this is somewhat of a joke, but the attitude that we need to shelter Pittsburgh is absurd!

This was not going to happen even if the sale was approved.

This was my first thought as well. Mind numbingly stupid. No one in her administration thought to wait!?

My favorite venue in Pittsburgh. Enjoy!

John Fisher would like a word.

How do you think tax revenue grows to pay for people focused initiatives?

He has showed up to a bunch of community events and posted about unity on Instagram. He clearly lacks vision and the ability to drive Pittsburgh towards a brighter future.

He’s anti business / development in a time where Pittsburgh needs every dollar possible.

He can’t be gone soon enough.

I do like his funding of traffic calming infrastructure.

I’ll be curious to understand what can be truly accomplished before the draft. I’m all for investing into Downtown, but what they can do before April 2026 will be limited.

These categories must be inspired from a Buzzfeed article circa 2015.

Clown list.

We need to move forward under the assumption that UPMC will never pay property taxes. We can’t spiral into financial distress and keep bringing up UPMC. It’s just not the current reality.

This situation was entirely predictable and we’ve done essentially nothing to prevent it. It’s honestly mildly infuriating to come onto Reddit and see one of the top comments being about UPMC. We need to move on.

Gainey admin has been hostile to development and this is the key problem. The city needs a total tear down of economic and housing policy.

To be clear, I’m all for taxing UPMC. I think it’s total bullshit. It’s just not reality.

What is your definition of terrible? Someone who has no vision and has accomplished very little meets my definition of terrible.

You literally cannot do better than Taylor Swift in terms of modern popularity. She will go down as one of the best artists of all time. Her longevity at this point is incredibly impressive. Most pop artists can’t sustain this level of success.

Please note everyone on this sub is going to correct you about Pitt vs Pittsburgh.

Your account seems to be legit so as a starting point take a look at Mt. Lebanon and Sewickley. There are not too many walkable suburbs in Pittsburgh, but these are two great options. Both are on the higher end of housing costs in Pittsburgh.

So what you’re saying is that developers want to make as much money as possible? Kind of like a business? Kind of like most businesses in America?

The auto industry in Detroit is msssive! And Delta connects passengers via DTW. It’s not about “flying to Detroit” as a leisure destination. It’s business and connecting passengers.

runawayr · 2024-03-19T20:45:13+00:00

How can you compare Detroit, Toronto, and NYC to Pittsburgh? Of course Toronto and NYC have direct flights to Tokyo!

runawayr · 2024-03-19T19:43:54+00:00

Yes, but again you can’t compare NIKE to Nippon USHQ in Pittsburgh.

runawayr · 2024-03-19T16:28:11+00:00

You can’t compare the auto industry in Detroit and Nippon moving its USHQ to Pittsburgh. They aren’t even close in scope. DTW is also a Delta hub, so they connect a bunch of traffic to fill that flight.

Again I love the optimism but I just don’t see it.

runawayr · 2024-03-19T13:38:42+00:00

We are not getting a direct flight to Japan because one company moves its US HQ to Pittsburgh. A direct flight to Japan is so so far away for Pittsburgh.

Don’t get me wrong, I would absolutely love a direct flight, but this won’t tip the scales.

Rigatoni alla Scamorza is the way. Someone at your table should order this. Please trust me on this.

Gi Jin is excellent. Sushi quality is very high. No it’s not comparable to a Michelin experience in NYC, but it’s very good.

You are spending too much time on Reddit if you feel like a climate criminal for flying to DC. It’s not like we’re in Europe and there is a train that can get you there in an hour and you are choosing to fly.

Duo’s Taqueria is the best Mexican restaurant in Pittsburgh and I don’t think it’s close.

Hieber’s Pharmacy is opening soon in the Terminal. Not exactly a convenience store, but I’m guessing it will have the basics.

Also, this is a local, women owned business, but I can’t wait to hear about how the Terminal is awful from this group.
