Pittsburgh feels 20 years younger than it did in the eighties and nineties. Back then it was very much being a young person in an old people’s city. Now as someone getting closer to being one of those old people, it feels like it has completely flipped. The demographic keeps skewing younger and as a result the amenities and lifestyle offerings have moved more toward that market.

As someone in my early thirties, I totally agree. 20 years ago, it felt like you rarely saw anyone between the ages of 20 and 40 in this area. Those of us who were born from the late '80s onwards did not leave the area as others did when we became of age.

I think I was one of about 12 young people who moved here in the 1980s and everyone I met who was from here seemed to hate it here.
