I just received another batch of unhinged NIMBY emails that were sent to the Pittsburgh Planning Commission demanding that the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon downsize their student populations. How could people be so callous to the children of our Commonwealth?

So is anyone aware of who exactly controls Congress and the White House right now???

@Merleau1979 @ProHousingPgh Jefferson Station isn’t in Chinatown, Chinatown would not have been “destroyed,” and retweeting one thing is not an endorsement of every other political position taken by someone online

@joey_poppyseed @davidvatz No more grocery stores until capitalism is abolished!!

@allengraetz @alex5932_ Ok 👍 Whenever the bus is late, packed, or misses the trip entirely, I’m going to remember that Allen Graetz lectured me about how I actually am entitled for complaining about a new grocery store being shot down by NIMBYs

@joey_poppyseed @davidvatz Ok 👍

@joey_poppyseed @davidvatz I simply think that college kids should be legally allowed to live in Oakland near campus within walking distance of both their classes and a full-service grocery store. Apparently this is super unpopular among well-connected activists and community groups! Who knew?

@allengraetz @alex5932_ Are they? This store is ridiculously overpriced. Who gave you the power and moral authority to veto another grocery store in Oakland?

@allengraetz @alex5932_ Students could have had more options, but the option of a grocery store within walking distance was stolen from them by NIMBYs and Karens

@joey_poppyseed @davidvatz Oakland could have had a grocery store, but it doesn’t, because NIMBYs and Karens who by their words and actions show that they value “neighborhood character” far more than the material needs of student renters vetoed it.

@GaryWinslett Same thing radicalized me in State College, PA. Yes, the town is literally called State College.

RT @jpakey99: That Corey O'Connor endorsement is surprising

RT @chwolfson: New: Corey O'Connor had a big January in campaign fundraising. He outraised Mayor Gainey $465,000 to $23,000 in the month. T…

Massive W for @PGHtransit that the P1 now comes every six minutes during evening rush hour!

@DavidLikesBirds @DerekHinPGH My Roman Empire is the decline of literacy in general

It’s actually in three different neighborhoods! Friendship, Shadyside, and East Liberty!
