People will wanto to hear that it's OK to move to a MacMansion somewhere in the middle of nowhere AND to complain about transportation and parking in Pittsburgh AND how there's so little to do in Pittsburgh. And as you're pointing out, these kinds of problems are shared with many other - incl. European - cities. <BR/><BR/>Just one, very absurd, Pittsburgh example is the "Waterfront", that sad joke of a strip mall that people like to mistake for something that's worthwile spending time at (imagine they had converted an old steel mill into an industrial museum - not THAT would have been something unique!). There's a bridge going over the river towards that place, and that bridge has been in disrepair for years (and by disrepair I mean it's literally falling apart). Pittsburgh refused to pay for the repairs, pointing out that the brdige was part of Homestead - an impoverished deserted town next to the mall. Homestead pointed out that it was Pittsburghers using the bridge. The net effect of this all was that the issue was left unintended for so long until the bridge literally wasn't safe any longer. I don't know who's paying for the repairs now - but given the speed of the repairs I don't even want to know. But needless to say, those people who shop at the Waterfront will find nothing wrong with all of this.<BR/><BR/>This all really isn't much of a Pittsburgh problem - it's a mindset problem. People think they're entitled to everything, and they refuse to accept that their personal choices are largely responsible for lots of problems. So the problem is not that they're moving out of the city, it's that there are no jobs (even though they do have a job - usually in the city)...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31357813.post-1153986007115950722006-07-27T03:40:00.000-04:002006-07-27T03:40:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Patthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04416976710349306849noreply@blogger.com
