I’m surprised, everything I’ve heard about downtown Pittsburgh in recent years is that it was vibrant and lively with nightlife, bars, restaurants. I haven’t visited the city myself in 20 years, just what I had heard.

The theater district thanks to URA pumping tax money galore has over the last few decades improved, but the rest of downtown is a crapfest.

Parts of downtown that are now not places I would want to walk during broad daylight, and I have never felt that way before in Pittsburgh, and I’ve lived here since the 80s.

Homeless encampments in the parks and burms, its a dump.

If you stay in the theater district you get the flash, go in the other parts and you see the decay full on.

I’ve worked downtown on and off since hte 90s... every time I get a new stint downtown, the place is more run down than the last time...

Downtown Pittsburgh is such a dump, there isn’t even a McDonald’s left open in the entire downtown area... Not that I’m a huge fan of McDonalds, but that should give you an idea of how bad its gotten.

Hire Chief Wahoo from Cleveland.

Get him to open a Casino in downtown Picksburg; viola', better schools, more graduates, a gazillion more jobs; all that "Extra Tax Money"; to rebuild Utopia.
