Amy "rides an ebike" Zaiss

You have 18 IPAs ... to drink ☺️

If you see me on transit, always say hello 👋

My ebike only goes up to 20mph

You are very brave! I usually bike up and over Mt Washington

Wait, you scooted through the Liberty tunnel?

How did you rack up 35 miles? Did you scoot all the way from North side to Mt Lebanon?

Massive W for South Hills residents, IMO! Crosstown route from Carnegie over to Brentwood via Dormont, Brookline. A Carrick to East Liberty route. SO GOOD 👏

Bus Line Redesign Bus Line Refresh is the second draft of PRT's bus network plan previously known as Bus Line Redesign. Your Bus Network: Familiar Routes, Stronger Connections

PRT Bus Line Refresh map is out!

"Riders and operators told us the first draft changed too much, too fast. They asked for fewer disruptions, stronger Downtown access, and better off-peak service. The second draft reflects that feedback by scaling back changes and preserving strong, familiar routes"

Although - many of the south hills routes in the 'refresh' will take advantage of the Brentwood loop!

Was this back when the T went right over the Smithfield st bridge?

Yep, sadly there are very few loops anymore 😔

Pittsburgh’s hidden T station is getting new life. Is there a future? Maryn Formley’s niece called her in a panic on March 2. She was stuck in Downtown Pittsburgh, trying to get home from work on the bus, but a protest had created a detour that Saturday. A seldom-...

True! I wish they'd restore it because as a south hills resident, Penn Station is an amazing transfer from the T! (I even spoke to the Trib once about my love of Penn Station: triblive.com/local/pittsb...)

Lots of downtown routes are now ending at Penn Station - will they maybe bring back T service? 🤔

Massive W for South Hills residents, IMO! Crosstown route from Carnegie over to Brentwood via Dormont, Brookline. A Carrick to East Liberty route. SO GOOD 👏

High-End Construction Really Does Help Everyone A new rung at the top of the housing ladder permits people lower down to climb up.

Building more housing gets more people housed. End of story. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

“Housing for whom?” assumes a zero sum world in which we have to choose between building new market rate housing and building subsidized housing for poor people.

No such tradeoff exists. We can let the market serve people who can afford market rate housing AND subsidize housing for those who can’t.

Using detailed address-level microdata, we trace movement chains originating with the initial residents of The Central and document three main findings. First, we show the building generated a substantial number of local vacancies. We identify 180 specific addresses that became vacant because of moves into The Central. Scaling to account for data coverage suggests the new tower induced more than 500 local vacancies in the three years after construction, by setting off chains of moves. Second, while The Central units were expensive on a per-square-foot basis, the homes vacated by movers were significantly cheaper. Homes left behind by those moving into The Central were about 40% less expensive. Unlike much of the prior literature, which track the changing neighborhood characteristics of movers

Even more evidence that building new housing decreases rents: Researchers tracked the residents of a newly built luxury condo building and found that they freed up less expensive apartments nearby.

I love so many things about this photo, and one of them is- no matter how you rotate it, it looks fabulous. Also shout out Oakland!!! Hella good! 😛

I'm glad they didn't build offices, maybe now it can become housing! 🤞

How can anyone take serious a man with hair looking like that?

Most likely the density wasn't allowed, let alone the min lot size and setbacks required. Everything here that starts with R1D means single residential detached - which is basically all of Greenfield.

if you lived here, you'd be home by now

your only choice is to move to Beechview

come to Beechview 😅

Hey #Pittsburgh - let's build more versions of these, please! 🤩

That was also urban renewal

Park View Three on the north side is 11 stories, and you would not be able to build this under today's zoning

Learning that the 'international' building code is only in the US 😞

Strip is one of the few areas of Pittsburgh with no IZ mandated, and large lots ready to build on. If we allowed more density everywhere, we wouldn't see it all concentrated in the Strip. Personally, I think if you live in a city you should accept that there will be tall buildings!
