Bringing up posts from another forum into this one to try to attack me? That sounds very forward looking and trendy. A great representation of the city for sure. Yet of course no owning up as to why racism is so bad that it's a public health crisis.

Not my fault you were too lazy to read past the headline of that link you shared...

It's important as well to call out the disingenuous and intellectually lazy posting you do as well.

Oh but I did read past the headline and not only is racial inequality a huge issue in Pittsburgh, but pollution is as well. In fact it is one of the worst in the country:

https://www.post-gazette.com/news/en...s/201804180109


https://www.pghcitypaper.com/pittsbu...t?oid=15182486


In fact it was so bad last month it was the worst in the nation at one point:

But please, keep attacking me and deflecting because you have absolutely no leg to stand on with the problems of race and pollution in your city. I would expect nothing less from a yinzer, and I expect the rest of the echo chamber to show up any moment now to revel in their lack of self reflection and internalized racism. Very smart and forward thinking.

It might have some cool things but the people are full of **** and vinegar and do not tolerate anyone different than they are. I'm sure the same 6 posters from Pittsburgh will show up any minute and try to spin it like in their echo chamber of a forum. The majority of the US would never call a city where racism is a public health crisis as "forward looking".
What types of things happened to you?

People are underselling Cincinnati. Realistically, it is growing MUCH better and has better weather and a much better future than Pittsburgh. Also, Over the Rhine in 2020 is superior to any urban nabe in Pittsburgh. I love both cities though.

Cleveland and STL are well well behind the other two in many ways.

Ways in which, of course, you can't or won't articulate.

You lost me at your use of "nabe." I'd be interested in what you mean by growing "better" as well. Lastly, weather is subjective.

Over the Rhine is a beautiful neighborhood with rough edges in places. To say that it is superior to Squirrel Hill, East Liberty, Oakland, Shadyside, is a stretch. You obviously have never been to Pittsburgh. Most of the "nabes" listed have never failed with the exception of East Liberty.

OTR looks and feels superior, but the urban character does not continue like some of the Pitt neighborhoods do. Cincinnati has better downtown shopping as well.

I remember finding Central West End in St. Louis to be surprising in how dense and tall it was when I went last year.
