Living in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
Rylee Madden, eXp realty
When I moved to Pittsburgh I thought to myself I'd be back to Texas in no time. Ten years later I'm still here and lovin it. The worst part for me is the gray and gloomy winters
Glad you’re loving it! 🙌
It makes us stronger
It does make Spring seem that much sweeter. When the leaves start to bud , you have another beginning.
I am amazed at the honesty of Pittsburghers! They are very honest but always kind! And thank you, Ms. Madden for your videos, you made my choice a lot easier!
I appreciate that!
Pittsburgh has two distinct weather patterns. The winter season, and the unforgivable Pot Hole season. Other than that life is good...
Mam with all do respect. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh since 1959. Our winters are rough and the rains come and go like anywhere else. So i say if you don't like it here move. I live in Allegheny County. I love working in Downtown Pittsburgh one bus. True everything has changed since the pandemic but light up night is absolutely gorgeous and beautiful. Im very greatful to still live here. Id rather live here than in Dallas. I miss the older Pittsburgh with Horns Kauffman's and Gimbles. This is a georgious city. So god bless you and have a great day. Peace.
Talking about old Pittsburgh, I miss the Jenkin's Arcade. I remember going to the button store with my mother which used to be in the Jenkin's Arcade.
Need to talk about flooding on Mon warf parking. Cars get abused with bumpy and pothole and salt causes cars to rust out. Growing up cars rushed out before being payed off. Big change for me living in South cars last longer. Commute are longer but take less time. Heating is alot less. Alot people burn coal for heating more BTU per dollar compared up gas electricity oil. Duquesne light has one highest rate per kilowatt hour compared to Penn electric and west Penn power. High water and sewage and gas. Not allowed to use coal and wood burner in city most Allegheny county. Older houses are not
Amen, my friend
Thank you for sharing with us, what you know. Being from Pittsburgh, I really enjoy watching your channel
Thanks for the kind words!
By far the best city on this planet and I mean that 100 %
I listened closely, but didnt hear her call it Picksburgh not even 1 time! Well done, lady, for speaking plain english for us!
But she does say "eXpecially" instead of "especially" every time she uses the word. That isn't even a "Pittsburgh thing".
@@bobaldo2339yes and also “fill” for the word “feel”. “Expecially” is driving me crazy. Good information, but she needs to work on her enunciation as a professional.
No grid to the roads makes it difficult to get around. Some of the worst roads in the country.
The basement flooding sounds very scary, but I suppose I could get a house that’s not in a flood zone like you said.
You left out CRIME, I've lived in Pittsburgh all my life , crime is everywhere
Lived in irwin suburbs til i was 25 left in 89, is route 30 still maming and killing people, knew of to many people killed on that rust belt hwy. People use to put bumber stickers on their cars that said Pray for me i commute on Rt 30.🤪
Oh my gosh the roads this stuff is true are used to live in a place in Crafton that the road was made of brick
Lol!
Wasn't there an "adopt a pothole program"?
I am curious for people who hunt - what does Pittsburgh City restrict as regards firearms?
Easy to get a ccp inPgh
How much is the average gas bill per month of you don't have a working fireplace during the winter?
That varies widely with the size of the home, construction style/age of the home, what type/quality of windows, whether the house is insulated properly and what type of insulation is used, if it’s gas or electric heat, forced air, baseboard or hot water heat, etc. When you are considering moving you can typically call the gas or electric company and get an estimate of the high and low bills on that property.
As far as your 1st warning(flooding). Does the city or county have any plans to try to alleviate or improve that problem?
Not really
@@stinkhut4536 ok! Thanks for replying promptly. And you explain allot useful and interesting information.
@@stinkhut4536that’s not true. It depends on the area. City of Pittsburgh does have and has done flood mitigation (like clearing catch basins). Other areas outside of the city have done things like dredged their creeks to clear debris to keep creeks from overflowing (Chartiers Creek in Carnegie is one example).
Thank you so much ! I am from Brazil to be very far from Pittsburgh. I love this Pittsburgh is very beautiful. 🥰🥰😘😘😘😘
The worst part of Pittsburgh are all the gang-stalkers. Everyone who actually lives here finds this out in short order.
You can get four seasons in one day. lol
Another example of Pittsburghese? She said it several times, “expecially” 😂
No that’s not Pittsburghese, it’s actually not as common here as it is in the upper Midwest like Wisconsin and Minnesota. That’s where it has the highest usage in their local dialect. It also has a high concentration of use in south east Colorado and the very far north of New Mexico, as well as the area where Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, and Oklahoma border each other. 👍🏻
yes some years we lots of snow the last blizzard we had was back in 1993 we have had very cold and snowy winters we have had very mild winters to i do not rember the year when we had a strong elnio are leafs on are trees stayed green never go cold hear for one winter in El Nino we had the remnets of one hurcane hit the pittsburgh area once knocked out power hear for about a week i recomend getting a not a all wheel drive but a one that is frount wheel drive that has a differential you can lock into 4 wheel drive some all wheel drives can do this if you want the best for snow it would be the track system with four wheel drive kind of works like a snow mobil you put them on your tiers dose it get cold hear yes it dose the coldest i have had around hear was -58 below zero with wind chill i would invest in a snow blower every year is diffrent hear some winters we get tons of snow and some we hardly get any
How can a Hurricane get that far inland, and cause a week long power outage? That sounds crazy. How often do you get Power Outages in Pittsburgh? Thanks.
@@justinbryson352 we just had power outages from the high winds we do get a lot weather out hear mostly thunder storms yes we got what was left of one huracane Andrew whent righ over are county it only ever happend once hear we do get thunder snow hear it is rare thou
@@justinbryson352 Obviously, by the time it gets to Pburgh it will be downgraded, but can still do a tremendous amount of damage, between heavy wind and high rainfall! I live in New England now, but when Hurricane Irene hit Vermont, it did historical damage to parts of the state.
We have had several blizzards since 1993, most recently 2022. A blizzard is any winter weather event with winds over 35mph and reduced visibility. Blizzards can actually occur while no snow is falling, but just from high winds blowing snow that is already on the ground. We definitely have severe winter weather.
@@justinbryson352 In Aspinwall, we used to get power outages CONTSTANTLY.
Don't worry, Pittsburgh is just fine!
Also, I don't remember all the alleged rain and snow you're talking about.when growing up in Pittsburgh in the 1950s.
Pittsburgh has more rainy/snowy days than most cities in the country with an average of 154 days per year of snow or rain. It’s right on par with Seattle, WA (156 days per year) and Portland, OR (153 days per year). In 1950 Pittsburgh received 48.4” of precipitation and 69.7” of snow according to Extreme Weather Watch. Compare that to 2022, where we saw 42.5” of precipitation and 49.2” of snow.
Pittsburgh does not, however, have the most trees as she suggests (it ranks #34 out of the top 50 cities with the most trees in the US).
im north of pittsburgh id never live in the city
I live in the city and I absolutely love it. Of course, I’m no shrinking violet either.
You sound like you are talking yourself into moving out. Winter was the final straw for me.
heres a scary truth. dont wonder to far or go up and down any hills if there isnt a a major shopping corridor near. you will get robbed or killed. we love when yall outa towners get lost out homewood and lincoln and wilkinsburg. we spot yall a mile away
Just bring the AR
That's sad.
@@YoungE591 u been warned.
Pffffft you’re probably not even from here
@@Pants5739 7332 race st born and raaised. westinghouse alumn. dont play with death bro
You forgot to mention the Mafia.
Do tell!
@@KimberlySmith14 When you own a business, people visit you at least on a monthly basis. They demand that you pay them and in return they won’t commit arson. One time I had my Glock on me and things didn’t go as planned for them. I haven’t been bothered since but keep in mind that they will not just go away on their own.
Hahahaha this is so silly. It’s not the 70’s anymore.
I am Pittsburgher, born, raised, and lived here for 60 years been to other cities around the country they are not without their problems my question is just what are you trying to sell here?
As someone who is not from Pittsburgh and is considering moving there, I appreciate the honesty about some of the downsides to living there. Many real estate companies put out videos making their areas seem like sunshine and rainbows, and you know they're not telling the whole story. In short, what she is selling me is her credibility.
@@myoldaimsnwastaken Yeah, she wants her clients and buyers to understand what they are getting themselves into, before moving to Pittsburgh.
As someone who is considering relocating from a southern state this video is exactly what I am looking for.
The moisture funnels up from the Gulf, hits the cold air from Canada and the mountains. Boom! It condenses and you get clouds and rain. You get a lot of that in the spring, and, in the summer, early evenings. Fall is, usually, dry and sunny.
i life in Pittsburgh 😞😞😞
You totally dropped the ball on this one because you didn't mention it. Yeah the winters can drag on. And it rains a lot. But the worst thing, more than anything else, is the humidity. It makes the summers unbearable. Way worse than winter. Just yesterday it rained and it was hot. A hot rain. Just ugly to be in. I can't even roll my windows down while I'm driving in my car on a sunny day because if I do, it'll be like I just got out of a sauna when I get to where I'm going, because I'll be all sticky. Humidity is the worst thing about Pittsburgh and it's not even close.
have another perspective. im sure you love how green it is there. the foliage and trees and etc. I'm coming from the western US. It's bone dry. and hot. and it is miserable. I'd rather have the humidity. At least it makes the landscape green instead of either yellow (dead) or brown (dead) or black (burned)
@@SpicyElaichiI’m with you on this one. It’s not high humidity every day.
@@tigergreg8 and just yesterday, first day of autumn. the trees are just barely starting to change color, leaves barely starting to fall. a beautiful cloudy day with the green foliage and a drizzle. back where I'm from, it was all sun and hit 86F.
I personally think San Francisco has the best weather in the world. 50-60s year round with high humidity. unfortunately almost everything else about it is terrible. Pittsburgh mirrors that weather a lot of the year and the other bits are nice too. the humidity is mild, it ain't Texas.
@@SpicyElaichi I lived in Santa Rosa years ago for a bit of time, and I did enjoy the weather there. The best part of Summer was going to the Mtn to go tubing in the snow, then back down to 80F weather. Enjoyed my time there.
I came to Pittsburgh and picked up a public intoxication
You gotta be what we call a jagoff to get that here
@@theherbpuffer what's that
Walking the streets intoxicated, I assume?
You do realize your neighbors are drinking & driving, but you are the one who gets caught! LOL
used to feel overwhelmed when my portfolio would drop a few dollars. Now that I've learned how the market works, I see bear markets as a giant opportunity to build generational wealth for me and my family. In just 5 months my portfolio have accrued gains of over $300k
We also have a new woke mayor ,a gay police chief and a socialist running for county executive we have many people who moved here from New York and California.If that is what you are looking for.If you have children the public schools suck. cheers
