Program to push affordable city living

Incidentally, I personally think developing Downtown residential space is crucial to attracting vital new people to the city. The banks, law firms, corporate headquarters, and so on Downtown can potentially help attract high value new employees from outside the city, in part because giving people unfamiliar with a new city affordable and attractive rental options close to their employer eases their transition. Moreover, in many cities young professionals are struggling to get decent apartments anywhere near their employers because housing has become so expensive. So, Pittsburgh could potentially gain a real competitive advantage this way. |

Thank you for the compliment. I don't have much interest in a career in politics, but once my own life and career settle down a bit, I do hope to get more involved in community development (which, frankly, is probably a better place for eternal optimists like myself).

At long last my neighborhood might start seeing some new development! Yay! There's a community meeting about it 2/23.

New houses soon to be mixed in with the old houses in Lawrenceville, in true Pittsburgh fashion. (Does this surprise anyone?)

Rt. 51 is about to get a MAJOR change. Along Rt. 51 there are dozens of eyesores, blighted businesses, empty storefronts, and crumbling buildings. A family known as the Levistke's own 40 of those buildings that stretch for miles. In a very sudden gesture, they have put up ALL 40 properties for sale (9 are sold) and a dozen more are in discussion to be re-built and redeveloped.
Here is the KDKA video on it. Family Plans to Sell, Redevelop Rt. 51 Properties |

Sewickley Hills is about to get a HUGE housing development that will more than double the housing units in the borough. Apparently, the land is behind the Village of Sewickley Hills and according to the article, is nothing more than desolate mud land ripe for development.
And develop they shall, 470 housing units, to be exact! Of course the borough citizens aren't too thrilled that their quaint population is going to more than double in near future. Quote:
