PITTSBURGH | Development Rundown I

[AaronPGH]

I don't go downtown because most of my "going out" is to venues with acts playing that I want to see. Downtown has a real lack of small, cutting edge music venues and bars that would host stuff. All of that exists currently in the east end, near people's homes.

If they built it, I would come.

Also, I looked at an apartment downtown. I toured the Century on 7th building...the supposedly "affordable" apartment building. Affordable it is not. They took major shortcuts on quality, wall thickness, etc, to attain their prices. And those prices do not come with a parking space either. It's an extra $200 a month for parking. When you add everything up, the monthly rent in that building is near $1100 for a 1 bedroom. I am paying that same amount for a gorgeous 2 bedroom w/ office in the south side. The choice is clear.
