I love Pittsburgh!

I love Pittsburgh. I'm not even going to waste my time on the previous commentor. (By the way, I'm an African-American and I live in a nice house in the suburbs. No opportunities have been denied me.) Anyway, PIttsburgh is a wonderful for to many reasons to name. But, to refute almost everything that has already been said, Pittsburgh is not dying at all. Quite the opposite, the city is experiencing quite the re-birth , lately. I would agree that Pittsburgh is being run by a group of corrupt mobsters--and it's not going to change as Pittsburgh is about 70% Democrat. (FYI: Pittsburgh hasn't had a Republican mayor in seventy years!) To the guy in Pensacola, there are plenty of jobs here. I'm sure the brilliant man from Pensacola was unaware that the largest employment sector in PIttsburgh is technology, followed by business THEN healthcare (by the way, what is wrong with that. Healthcare jobs are among the best paying). According to this ignoramus Pittsburgh's economy consists of 300,000 waiters, 300,000 roofers, 300.000 customer service personel and 300,000 "medical personnel". If that was true (which it isn't) who could afford to eat out, or go to the docters, or get their houses roofed. Pittsburgh is far better than Atlanta or Pensacola for a miriad of reasons. To highlight a few, Pittsburgh is the safest large city in America, it is one of the most affordable cities and it one of the best-educated cities , as well. By the way the main impetus in most of Florida's ecomonies is the SERVICE INDUSTRY which truly does consist of waitresses and roofers. Nice try, Pensacola guy. I love Pittsburgh and I'm sick of people always tearing it down.
