Review of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania


Do you like disposable income? Me too.
Star Rating - 1/31/2008
There is a reason Pittsburghers like to "drink, smoke, gamble, attend sporting events, and dine out." They have the disposable income to do so. Show me an overly health conscious, highly anxious, anti-gambling, and anti-drinking person, and I'll show you a mortgage they can't afford. (And a waiter they short-tipped).

Sure, the weather sucks.
Sure, the people are simple.
Sure, the local government is backwards.

But, if you are like me, you like the luxury of owning a nice, affordable house. There is a lot to be said for that. And when the weather sucks, you have enough disposable income to vacation in Florida for two weeks.
