Interesting article about how cities are losing population.

I wonder if this trend will continue everywhere (inc. Pittsburgh)?

I honestly don't know. Are there census numbers? I suppose though that those numbers are usually in arrears and wouldn't spot a trend until after it's started...

Predominant opinion on this Sub Forum is City living is the only way to live! Facts be damned.

True dat.

In some residents defense, it certainly sounds like city living is the only living they know and everything about the burbs comes from others or the Internet.

So it's overall, not just the city here?

It is called "city-data" and this is the forum for the city of Pittsburgh so I'm not sure why that should be so surprising.

So it's city living or nothing? Just because it's called city-data doesn't mean you can't or haven't visited or lived outside the city at one time or another.

Pretty sure it also pertains to the metropolitan/Greater Pittsburgh area.
