> its not only DOWNTOWN…thats what i mean… people work downtown but what about all the other areas of the city where people live that a lot of you have no clue about. I understand that detroit and philly are shit holes but does that i mean i should be happy that pittsburgh isnt as big a dump as those places? NO. thats what i mean about comparing it to itself. put a mirror infront of the city to see whats wrong with it to fix itself regardless if it was already better than some worse place or not.

Cities like NYC and Philly have a lot of people that live in the downtown area. Not many people live right in downtown. There’s like 2.7 million in the metro area though.
