Don't Live Here

I've lived here a total of roughly a quarter of a century, with stints in San Francisco, Atlanta, Charlotte, and a few other places. I grew up here. It's awful. The traffic is among the worst in the United States (7-way intersections; nope, not a joke). Navigating the bridges and the city is beyond stress-inducing. No parking. Terrible, old, falling-apart houses.
There are two seasons in PIttsburgh: Summer, and Get Me The Fuck Out Of Here. It gets brutally cold, and it's among the top-3 cloudiest cities, and in the top 3 in the most precipitation. So tons of snow, tons of rain, barely any sun.
The people are also, very frequently, rude and dismissive. And if you don't ilke the Steelers, you're gonna be left out of a number of events and conversations.
It's just downright depressing, all of it.
