Land use in The Waterfront is zoned under the Waterfront Development District (circled in blue). Here, multifamily housing is legal by right as long as it complies with relatively lax restrictions. The closest corresponding zoning district in Pittsburgh is RM-H (circled in red).

If you've been to The Waterfront recently, you've probably seen the new apartments under construction. In our newest installment of You Can't Build That Here, we discuss the zoning laws that made this housing happen in Homestead and not in Pittsburgh 🧵

The Clark Building has been a fixture of the Cultural District’s skyline for almost a century, but zoning almost stopped it from being built! In this intallment of YCBTH, we take a look at the history of exclusionary zoning in Pittsburgh and what it means for the present day.🧵

Today, Council voted to allow housing to move forward at Donny’s Place. Our statement below:
Pro-Housing Pittsburgh applauds today's decision by City Council to allow transit-oriented development to move forward at the former Donny's Place site in Polish Hill.

Historic nominations should never occur without the consent of the property owner. We urge Council to forbid such nominations from ever occurring in the future.

Terrible news for Pittsburgh: The 264‑unit Mellon’s Orchard North housing project is dead. 50 affordable homes—gone. Hundreds of apartments—gone. All because of the roadblocks our city puts in the way of new homes. This is what failure through bad rules looks like. 🧵
