They sure are getting the most value for their taxes in Pittsburg.

I briefly worked in Squirrel Hill teaching the inner city kids. I would see these couches and such in front or on almost every porch along each street there.

That being said, it may be an eyesore for some, but if it’s their property, they should be able to put whatever seating they want in front of their house.

We’re still AMERICA!

What if you’ve got a few pillows?

[TexasCajun]

What else is there to do while waiting for your govment check but hang out on the porch and wave to others that are waiting on there govment check too.

Message to the Pittsbouqe Polute, I have a mattress and or pillow in just about every room, I have no problem with bugs, first off I do not allow folk that might be infested to come to my domicile, secondly, if there is someone posibly infested, I give them the choice of staying in the shed, or allowing a washing of clothing and self.

I have running water.

No taxpayers dollars, and no embarrasement. And no bugs!

[Past Your Eyes]

Why don’t they just ban porches.

One thing that really bugs me is snooty democrats. They have worked overtime turning the US into 3rd world hellholes. Now they decide they are offended by the trappings of folks that live in 3rd world hellholes.

Maybe the sofas on the porch are there because they have no a/c and it is cooler on the porch.

I say people need to stand up and give them the result of their folly.

Drag a couch on the porch, throw a few empty bottles of liquor over the rail and kick back. LOL

Typical Liberal thought process. Idiots running around setting stuff on fire, ban everything flammable. Wouldn't want to blame the PEOPLE doing stupid stuff. They really should ban wood frame houses as well. It's a well known fact that they are just invitations for termite infestations. And let's ban automobiles, because the mere presence of one incites crowds to turn them over and torch them. I'm thinking the council is just preparing for the “celebratory” mood that is going to come when all the Asshats in low rent districts find out the reality of what's coming to them from their beloved Obama.

This is just a response to some problems at the Univ. of Pittsburgh. Despite the Panthers efforts to ridicule WVU students following a number of couch burning incidents in Morgantown, they could not fight the temptation to torch a sofa or two.

[HIDEK6]

primarily to prevent the celebratory burning of such items, as has happened repeatedly in Oakland.

Why don't they just make it illegal to burn someone else's property?

Maybe they could make up a word for it.

Arson?

Thank goodness for community organizers. /sarc

[HighlyOpinionated]

That's racist.

Here in the mountains of Appalachia, there's no room indoors for a formal livingroom (or a flushing toilet).

We always put the recliner and the sofa on the porch so we can watch the tourists drive by.

What kind of world would it be with no couches or as we call them sofas on the porch? A PC world, that's what.

We don't do PC in the Appalachian Mountains.

I have leather seats in my Porsche, they’re hard to light.
