Why this page exists
Housing-market data describes what already happened. Local government decides a large share of what happens next, and it does so in public, months ahead — a rezoning heard in September is a different street in two years. That material is genuinely hard to follow: councils publish agendas with no interpretation, and local papers cover one ordinance at a time without saying what class of decision it belongs to.
This page tracks the Pittsburgh, PA area, currently 2 items across 2 categories, and sorts what it finds into the decision types below. Each item links to the outlet that reported it — we are not the source and do not claim to be. What we add is the grouping and the read on what each category does to a buyer or a seller.
