I'd take Murrysville over NH, but, as SSR likes to say, both are soulless. Yeah, so soulless that no one lives there. Must be some kind of attraction otherwise we would all live in the city.

NH had quite a bit of industrial plants back in the day. So it made sense to live there and be close to work. There are newer plans being built, pretty much cookie cutters like the row houses in the city.

Unity Township is no slacker in that department. I bet they are close to neck-and-neck.


Back to the OP--- I prefer Murrysville over NH.

You can't forget Hempfield either. It had a nearly 3,000 person increase 2000-2010. Hell it's Pittsburgh's largest suburb now, beating out Penn Hills.

I've never been in North Huntington but it's really hard for me to imagine a worse place to live than Murrysville. On the other hand, the people there do seem to like living there so it must have its attraction. I lived there for nine years and can't think of a single positive thing to say about that place.

So why didn't you move after the first year? Let me guess, wife?

Pretty funny. What do you do for a living? Oh yeah, delivery boy, driving that emissions spewing car all over the City. If the city is so high density, can't they all walk to pick up their food?

I would say North Huntingdon is slowly becoming another Cranberry, it is not there yet but it will be in the foreseeable future. Murrysville on the other hand is similar to what Wexford is like in the North Hills, or what McMurray is like in the South Hills. Franklin Regional is North Allegheny as Norwin is Seneca Valley.

I have never come across a sub-forum where so many look down upon others for what they do for a living. Not all of us hailed from affluent backgrounds. The economy hasn't been kind to all of us. I invest an honest day's work for an honest day's pay and make a go of it just fine without external assistance, thank you very much.

Spoken by one who looks down upon others for their choice of where to live. The amount of vitriol you direct at the suburbs has been plenty evident so I'm not sure why you think it's okay to dish that out.

Not that I look down upon you or anyone for their job, because I don't. I don't find that to be appropriate. I believe the post in question was actually pointing out that even a delivery job in the city uses a car very heavily, much like what happens in your hated suburbs....

Maybe if a certain member of said sub-forum didn't look down upon others for where they choose to live, he wouldn't feel -- nay, be -- so singled out for criticism of his own life choices.
