I'm not sure, but from pictures, Oakland is way more dense and has more buildings than university city.
honestly dont think so, will admit many of pictures hardly portrayed well. As nabes on the whole UCity is absolutely more dense; the residential in this area is like 30+k on top of the largest urban science center, thre huge hospilta complexes and two large universities
Think I saw summer with a better pic of U City; it is very densly developed; what Oakland has is a few taller buildings, U City is mostly 10-12 and under wiht many more in the 8 story range; but pretty dense
To BB above you said there are more jobs in DT Burgh and Oakland combined than CC Philly. There 300K jobs in DT Philly - what is the number
Source...Copy and Paste....I provided you, now you provide meeeeee!

You want the reference just google; this week the state of Center City was realesed in by the CCD - all there in print - have at it
These are you're claims, you back them up! I'm not doing YOUR work.

Now is you can find a source that these two have more than 300K I will believe you; untill then no
You need to provide your backup of 300K first.....I can't debate unproven claims, and right now your claim of 300K jobs in Center City is just that a Claim.
Just because you asked so nicely! And if you would have read the links I provided you, you'd have your answer.. NOTE: This was back in 2004..it's 2012 now, I would guess to think there are more than 300K jobs condsidering Pittsburgh's amazing job growth over the past couple of years.

In 2004, there were nearly 300,000 jobs in the city of Pittsburgh, more than in many cities that are much bigger in terms of population.
Again note my original claim was always Downtown Pittsburgh and Oakland being the 2nd and 3rd largest Central Business District in PA based on FACT!....I never swayed from that message, you sir are the one all over the map throwing up unsupported claims and alternate methodologies to Prop up Philadelphia.

Let me guess Philadelphia being one of them!

300K is the whole city, right?

THE LATEST report on the "State of Center City" shows that there is much to celebrate downtown. It has the nation's third-largest number of employees working in its core central-business district at 264,878. Only New York and Chicago have a higher concentration of workers, according to the report, released Thursday by the Center City District.
This excludes the 90K employees in U City BTW
For the core (Center City Philadelphia) is 189K worker per sq mile
Best I could find is that there 150K working DT pittsburgh - that was in the CD pittsburgh forum here in this thread (not sure if this includes Oakland or not, but appears it may
BTW I like the Burgh but saying there are more workers in the DT and Oaklnad than in CC is just FLAT OUT wrong and you know it BB hell your own sources even suppoort it more smoke and mirrors again
