How is Pittsburgh a poor man’s Boston? The two cities aren’t remotely comparable. Carnegie-Mellon as a top university that is less well known than Harvard and MIT is the only thing I can think of. Ocean. Hundreds of thousands of college students. All those white collar professionals. The top suburban public schools. Airport with dozens of Europe flights and Asia service. Commuter rail and subway. All the revolutionary war history. I just don’t see it.
