Pittsburgh has long worried about how to keep and attract young people. The availability of good jobs (or lack thereof) is obviously central to such concerns, but lifestyle considerations also play an important part. What can the city do to make itself more attractive? Clearly, some wheels must turn to make it happen.

Figuratively, in recent years, the wheels of progress have turned. Pittsburgh has built new stadiums to anchor major sports franchises here for the foreseeable future. Communities such as the South Side and the Strip District have become trendy, with clubs, bars and restaurants catering to a new crowd.

Kind of hard to worry about lifestyle concerns when you can't afford to eat or keep a warm, dry place to sleep.

When are these jagoffs going to admit that they don't got a #(%*!^& clue, and admit that we got to cut taxes an'at? It's just like the stadium arguments all over again, "build it and they will come". Well, they didn't come, and neither did the business. Same with Lazarus dantaun.

It's the scam of the year. Wonder what next year's scam is going to be?

hey Willie, do you think we'll ever get the democrats atta Grant Street n'at?

Pittsburgh's fine. They got their two new stadiums and convention center, after all. Good times are just around the corner. Maybe right after the bankruptcy.
