Last year, we had tweet limits on NHL FA day.

This year, Twitter is fully down on NFL FA day.

If MLB had a FA kickoff day, I would hate to be Twitter on that day next year. But alas

I second this. Not only should we review things specific to that intersection/road, but also look for root causes so we can preemptively apply fixes to other roads before someone dies.

Reading Monroeville's Zoning Ordinance is a hilarious endeavor—for example, the C-3 mixed-use district. "Reduce the need for parking structures" all while still having insane minimum parking requirements.

A tweet by Ryan Deto:
A snippet from Allegheny County Council budget meeting. Republican Sam DemlMarco, who is also chairs the County GOP, said he is now in favor of a countywide property reassessment because of the county's budget shortfall and potential tax increase.

Grateful that Sam DeMarco agrees with @bethanyhallam.bsky.social that Allegheny County needs to do a reassessment. We should make sure reassessments are regular and fair.

BLDC deadline move was a disaster. Good to cut him loose now.

Sad to see Joe gone but the 2nd half was rough for him. Probably the right move

Mount Oliver business district

Mount Oliver business district

Mt. Oliver business district. Walkable from nearby houses.

Mt. Oliver is the 10th densest town in PA at 10,013.8/sq mi. Good urbanism is not just for big cities, but also small towns.

Alabama Ave in Dormont, PA

Alabama Ave in Dormont, PA

Nice urban residential street in Dormont.

Alabama Ave has narrow streets, trees, sidewalks, and homes with minimum front setbacks.

At 11,264.7/sq mi, Dormont is the 4th densest town in PA! You do not need a large apartment building to have a nice walkable, urban community.

Converting old office buildings into housing is good, but also expensive. We need to be building new construction as well.

A post from the Monroeville Community Cares Facebook page with text reading:
Monroeville citizens!!!! You have to pay attention to what your council and school board are doing.  Fortunately Garden City residents were paying attention and were able to stop a development plan that would have negatively affected the neighborhood.  Next time it could be where you live!!!

And council will be voting on a budget in a month that proposes a 50% property tax increases!!! This is on top of a proposed county property tax increase and recent school board increase.  Do your research and make your voices heard!!

The real question is why doesn't MLB do something in June/July

Yeah, it would probably not happen until after bettman retires.

I think so. As long as you get the incentives right for players/fans/front office/owners.

Poulin was recalled so I bet he gets a look. Wonder how much of a fire sale we are gonna do. Can only expect so many teams to take trash players.

I wonder if Dubas is trying to flip the picks
