But it doesn't reach Oakland's scale...Sorry....Philly Booster can pound and thump their chest all day long....Oakland is PA 3 largest CBD...every Official publication back's this up...
Yeah, and look at all those Parking Lots, empty green space, wide boulevards, poor street frontage of buildings, little density outside of a few splotches.
Umm, am pretty positive I did, while it doesnt make the claim to be third largest it does make the claim to be home to 70 employees, larger than Oakland. Also 70K employees plus 50K students equals 120K.
plus I gave a link to C&W that is very reputable in terms of compiling office space figures. If you shun these then you must also shun your links as they absolutely no less reputable
Oakland and UCity are both large centers, Ucity appears larger based on reputable source (though doesnt make the marketing claim)
Oakland has 100K employees plus 20K residents....that 50K number tossed out there is just the University of Pittsburgh number....
Now find me the official publications that state the same of KOP or UCITY....
Yeah, okay. I just post a bunch of ACTUAL STATISTICS on population and employment numbers and you post a bunch of claims with no statistics to back it up. HOW ARE YOU ARGUING COLD HARD FACTS?!?!?!?!?!
Please your numbers have been debunked before..... You can always find numbers that point the way you want them to with heavy "caveat-ing" just like I put sources that shows Pittsburgh way ahead of Philly in economic vitality but somehow that unbelievable by Philly Boosters....Shocking
No. I have agreed with you before and stated several times that on a Per Capita basis, Pittsburgh is impressive and can certainly compete with Philly. I'm not arguing that.
Also, those actually population statistics and employment numbers are now false? HAHAHA okay.
But those claims that Oakland is the 3rd largest business district with no numbers on population or employment to back it up is correct?!

Haha. I already proved to you that outside of the Cathedral of Learning, UCity has overall taller buildings than Oakland. Also, they have the same number of buildings taller than 200 ft. Also, UCity is building WAYYYYYY more than Oakland, and there are plans for two buildings in UCity taller than The Cathedral, Cira South at 600+ ft and Cira II at 700+ ft. The Cathedral of Learning is the 7th tallest building in Pittsburgh at 535 ft. In Philadelphia, it would be the 14th, just behind City Hall. Pretty impressive for a city that has only had 25 years to build taller than essentially the height of the Cathedral of Learning. Yet Pittsburgh has had 87 years to build taller buildings than Philadelphia and still failed.
Pittsburgh cannot compete with Philadelphia on highrises/skyscrapers... and Pittsburgh had an 87 year head start to build tall since you could not build taller than City Hall in Philadelphia until 1987, and Philadelphia is STILL outshining Pitt in the skyscraper/highrise category.
Well, it's interesting that both cities are going mostly for the Nouveau Forgettably Ugly style of architecture. It's sort of funny to be taking aesthetic cues from second tier Chinese cities.
For NFL attendance, both tend to rank well, Philadelphia still tends to rank higher though. In 2012, the Eagles were much higher in attendance than the Steelers. Philadelphia: ranked number 13. Pittsburgh ranked number 25 2012 NFL Football Attendance - National Football League - ESPN

I think PNC tower and the Grove are beautiful modern towers.

The rankings of the largest business districts in PA are definitely:
1. Center City
2. Downtown Pitt
3. King of Prussia (including surrounding business districts)
4. University City
5. Oakland
No. Oakland is the 5th largest business district. Those claims have no statistics to back it up and therefore, are really nothing more than opinion.
Did you all realize how she tried to say100k there. HAHAA! Also Center city has more then both downtown Pittsburgh and Oakland put together. AND we still have Uc, and City ave, and the navy yard. Wow, just wow.

seriously you can't find anymore information on UCity number of jobs other than that Pamphlet vaguely claiming 70K jobs....something more concrete would be nice.
Seriously you're comparing KOP jobs to Major Central Business Districts? Take away the Mall and KOP drops significantly..I would like to see the GDP that these locations all produce that also plays a role.
