Reply to comment by ChefGuru in Alternate Title: City of Pittsburgh sues to keep ownership of dilapidated housing, preventing them from being redeveloped by asdropen11

half the city needs bulldozed down and rebuilt. i had a friend from long island come to visit once and all he said was "this city looks old"

I was back home over the weekend. First time I’ve been back in a while. Spent 30 years here. I appreciate the old of Pittsburgh, Americans go to Europe to see old all the time. My thought was just everything was ran down. A coat of paint would be nice. Clean up the trash and rocks from the roadway. Paint over all the graffiti everywhere. Fix the roadways. Everything feels like it did when I left. Just some upkeep would go a long way.

not old as in like rome or something, old as in dilapidated and should be condemned. so many of the houses are so poorly maintained im amazed anyone lives in them.
