Pittsburgh is a nice place to visit. Very scenic, kind of cool newer hip downtown area, sportsball if youre into that. But I wouldn't live there. Vast areas of 50+ year old homes that have barely been maintained, and a general lack of infrastructure investment. Plus, most of the smarter folks left town years ago as jobs dries up after the steel factories shut down. Nowadays everyone seems to work at one of the hospitals, universities, or supporting them somehow. I don't think there are any major industries producing anything in Pittsburgh anymore.
