Totally agree with Frank, you can Google any of these and see that they are true. Notice the two replies are from people who moved away from Pittsburgh, as if they are some sort of authority on the area. Pittsburgh is a dying Rust Belt city and nothing more, no matter what someone from Florida says.

Frank's review above is very one-sided, misleading and often flat-out wrong. Counterpoints: - Pittsburgh has 160 sunny days each year. Some of these days also have some clouds. Is anyone really looking for Las-Vegas-like solar radiation? - Pennsylvania's overall tax burden is ranked 23rd highest (pretty much right in the middle of all states). - With population slightly decreasing but GDP growing you can expect congestion to lessen and infrastructure to improve. - Following local, state and federal efforts, Flint, Michigan drinking water is now cleaner than many cities. Pittsburgh water lead levels were nowhere near the levels found in Flint. - Allegheny county is the 2nd most populated county and has more roads than any other county. You should expect it to have close to the highest number of car crashes. It always bothers me when people claim to be dealing in facts when they obviously are trying to mislead others with selective statistics.

Frank sounds like a guy to me who can't get a job and is pissed about it. Regarding some of Frank's points, so is losing population, great that's a good thing, the countries too crowded as it is. Cities are bursting at the seams. Believe me I know I've lived in Los Angeles and New York and a dozen other cities. You want big burly nasty large populations go to Los Angeles to see how you like it. I'm also sick of everybody complaining about "lack of diversity". What is that supposed to mean? Do you really think it's a good thing to be living amongst hundred and 50 ethnic groups and nationalities 26 different religions a huge stew and potpourri of squabbling minorities it don't get along and hate each other. Is nothing wrong with seeking out a place that you have a cultural commonality and social affinity with. You want diversity, again try Los Angeles. Everybody cell segregates any way and the more diversity the less cohesion. Go to the San Gabriel Valley outside of Los Angeles which is 100% Chinese, rent an apartment there and see how well you get accepted. Job growth? Go to medical school, become a doctor or some reasonable facsimile and you won't have a problem getting a job anywhere. I went to college outside of Pittsburgh in medical school in California and I can tell you I'll take Pittsburgh in a heartbeat any day over the mess that is this faux multicultural utopia that people are fleeing to escape from. Go ahead Frank check it out. At that you'll come running back to Western Pennsylvania within a year.
