Yinz should be proud.

Penguins winning the Cup should help make it more livable.

Wow. I’m dying to move to Pittsburg. A cool ocean breeze in the summer. Skiing close by in the winter. World class symphony. Excellent schools. Oh wait, that’s Boston.

[softengine]

What are these retards smoking? I have to travel to this city for work and no amount of GPS will help you find your way around. The roads look like they’ve all been bombed,... repeatedly. Road signs are incorrect, or not in place at all. And there is litter and debris all over the place. Its a dirty and overpopulated city.

I refer to it as the armpit of America.

If the NYT says so, it must be true.

You know why Pittsburgh is the most livable city?????

Because it is cheap. And outside the city, taxes are low.

Pittsburgh is nice, but NOT that special for a city. There are plenty of other cities that are much "better".

But you can buy a nice house on one average middle class income and not be taxed to death - so you have money to make life livable.

I LOVE PITTSBURGH!

[steelyourfaith]

Beautiful town. From the airport the drive enters a tunnel under a mountain emerging on a bridge with a view down on the town and the three rivers.

Friendly people.

These awards are so stupid. They depend upon what the authors think is important. The suburb I live in was always highly rated. They built a very upscale shopping mall, which draws car thieves. The ratings went way down for the whole suburb due to auto theft in this parking lot.

The other day there was an international ranking. I think the highest us city came in 35th. Guess who? DC!

satire?

what a useless ‘study’

[Big Horn]

My daughter just moved out of Pittsburgh, with their high taxes because they are run by the Democrats. You see block after block of empty homes because of high taxes and lack of good jobs because the labor unions and Democrats have run many businesses out.
It is a beautiful city with some very nice people all destroyed by the liberals.
She had a good job, but her life is much improved with her move.

[Clemenza]

Cheap real estate, relatively low crime (lots of senior, few gangbangers outside of parts of Oakland), and friendly people.

[Kandy Atz]

I have made multiple trips to Helsinki, Finland (7) and Toronto (4) on the list. Both are gorgeous cities with lots to admire and friendly people, but there is no way I would ever live there.

Same goes for Pittsburgh and most of the east coast, midwest and left coast. I lived in southern NJ (Medford outside of Philly) for a year and have visited just about every major city in the US for business. There are always nice things and good people just about everywhere in this great country, but the exorbitant taxes, union dominance and Democrat corruption make most of them not an option for me.

I’ll take Texas weather, low taxes and freedom any day. And those that share a desire for more freedom are always welcome to join us down here!

[the long march]

You bet and I won’t be moving there any time soon. Get real, compared to Mexico City or Karchi maybe but there are so many other places in the States that are preferrable. And the politics are only slightly less corrupt than Chicago’s

The Economist Intelligence Unit — which publishes numerous surveys and studies for paying clients ....

So which group PAID for this stupid study?

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Rwi, I am soooo proud, n’at...I am sobbin inta my babooshka...

Guins in Seven!!! Guins in Seven!!!

[Arrowhead1952]

That settles that - I'm going to leave Texas and move to Pittsburgh < /sarcasm>

[Question_Assumptions]

Bump for later.
