Why does Pittsburgh not understand that downtown is not the thing that's going to bring people back to the city?
Increased tourism is great and all but it's not consistent. Pittsburgh needs people. Pittsburgh needs housing for those people.

Just a reminder that the City of Pittsburgh's decision to ignore free speech and side with Israel directly harmed a member of the LGBTQ community.

Look at your comments dude. Who's violent here?
We’ve reached the “it’s just a statue” part of vandalism.
You pro-Palestine protesters are the biggest group of losers on the planet. Bunch of kids who never got told “no” enough growing up and think vandalism is ok. Entitled losers. The real world will get you at some point.

If any of the cops felt bad about their role at Pitt's encampment, they could have just left. "I was just following orders" is not an excuse.
The fact they all continued to violently break up the encampment after multiple people were hurt is proof ACAB.

Admin has staff that gets upset they have to pay and harasses one of the best things to come out of the city - Silence.
Admin has staff that signs a petition - Staff member forced out and criticized by almost every local elected.
What the hell is going on down on Grant St.?
The mayor (
@gainey_ed
) asked for free tickets twice. We made him & his staff pay to get their publicity shot. Afterwards, we were publicly attacked by a member of his entourage for doing so.
Sir, why should we handle this bullying privately? Why haven't you addressed them?

I think leaving and coming back to Pittsburgh or not being from Pittsburgh (like me) and coming to it is a quick way to realize exactly this.
I love Pittsburgh but the city desperately needs to give new people a chance. Moving the same people from org to org is why people leave

Isn't it weird how Pittsburgh spends millions inviting tourists and tech companies with incentives and yet there's still a housing crisis?

Trying to get this message through to my older brother! He's part of the group that hates both sides and doesn't see a point in voting. Keep telling him to pick a side he hates less and vote for them. If he hates TFG (he does), I told him not voting helps TFG/the GQP win.

If you're a housing advocate and part of your advocacy includes blaming communities for not wanting to be displaced after that community has been historically displaced, you're the problem.

Honestly, I don't get the appeal of the RNC or DNC. It's just a giant room of everyone patting themselves on the back for doing the bare minimum for 20+ years while the rest of us in the real world struggle. I deal with that enough with the foundations in Pittsburgh 🤷♂️

People care more about roads, buildings, and grass than they do about stopping genocide and war.
If this is you, stop and think about why the protesters are there. If you're not sure of why, please ask. They're not the ones armed in riot gear.

Pittsburgh funders are really out here giving each other $50k grants just to gather information from the community to inform their grant process, but will question nonprofits trying to start or maintain a program and think a $15k request has too much overhead.

Just remember, when foundations spend hundreds of millions investing in a green entrepreneur hub in a community that didn't ask for it and robots that ensure future DoD contracts for places like CMU and Pitt, that money could have gone to things like building and repairing homes.

The problem is they're technically allowed to do what they're doing. Even if it's petty, they've likely retained decent attorneys to protect themselves. My concern is this backfiring harshly on the legitimate non-government takeover 501c3s doing things like voter education.

Wrote my senior thesis on this and concluded Germany, by every existing standard at the time, committed war crimes and should have been held accountable (which would have impacted history in a dozen ways).
My friends thought I was crazy for even being interested in the topic😳
All the tactics Germany used during the holocaust: concentration camps, starvation etc., were tested, practiced and refined first in Namibia. Germany only apologised to Namibia in 2021… and yet to page reparations.
So yes, she is right.

That's not what I was saying. But for the record, it's not "for everyone":
We believe that all people who choose to live in Pittsburgh deserve to call the city their home. There's no requirement that you were born here, have lived here for your whole life, or have been here for a certain amount of time. Pittsburgh is for everyone.
