I grew up in Pittsburgh - I moved to Atlanta in in the early 90's. After living in Atlanta for 28 years I recently moved back to Pittsburgh and loving it! No place like Pittsburgh!

As a lifelong Pittsburgh resident I’m in love with this city. I never plan on moving from here just really like the uniqueness of the neighborhoods and the natural geography here. And I actually like winter so having all 4 seasons for me is huge.

My wife’s family is from rural PA so I’ve been a few times. I’m jealous of the tight knit community feel. The landscape is top notch. I don’t blame you for never leaving! Grass isn’t greener.

Green open spaces make cities more beautiful and more livable. Nature has a calming effect on people and provide habitat for wildlife.

Bicycles make you healthier and happier. Cities need to be walkable and have safe, protected bike lanes.

In the Pittsburgh area there are loads of walkable small towns too, I live in one. I still have to drive to do big box shopping and visit distant family, but for everything else, I walk, take my bike, and sometimes the bus. I think geography is the #1 thing keeping large amounts of the Pittsburgh area walkable. Because of the hills and rivers, development is much more difficult so people had to be smarter about land use. There is alot less big box sprawl in this metro area relative to others of a similar size. Because big box retail the #1 killer of walkability is much harder to build. I am of the belief that lack of walkability is an economic not an urban planning problem, as many places with no central planning are amazingly walkable. While big box sprawl is a product of planning.
@cities4ppl Жыл бұрын
You’re right about Pittsburgh’s topography - it certainly prohibits sprawl, which is nice. Lack of walkability occurs for so many different reasons. If it’s not planning then it’s something else!

Thanks for mentioning Pittsburgh. I gave one correction, the T actually has 3 lines. Red, Blue, and Silver (started in 2021).
@cities4ppl Жыл бұрын
You gave me the inspiration! After further research - Pittsburgh has great bones and a better natural landscape than Philly. Silver line eluded me somehow! Thanks for watching.

You should do my home city, Minneapolis after cleveland. It may not be quite as affordable as other cities, but it has the best bike infrastructure in the country and an incredible job market. Would love to visit Pittsburgh though
@cities4ppl Жыл бұрын
Oh have no doubt - Minneapolis is very high on my list. Very aware. I’m trying to dial in my video making skills before jumping into the very best affordable walkable cities haha. Thanks for the recommendation!
@Roma_eterna10 ай бұрын
You should do Lancaster, York, and Harrisburg! according to Walkscore, they’re pretty walkable and affordable as well. come to think of it, a lot of cities and towns in Pennsylvania seem to be walkable.
