unsupportable in your view, which is one man's opinion you have some facts wrong, like the growth itself hard to find your arguments credible if you dont get that right I had an absolutely wonderful time in graduate school I found the love of my life here I excelled in graduate school here despite that, I gradually came to dislike the city its limited nice few suburbs did not mollify my views my opinions were formed firmly by 1977 (not in 2000) maybe you didnt read that, Tim you seem to want to interpret my dislike of Pitt it is based upon experience, and is longstanding every annual visit from Boston since then reinforced my views as I saw many neighborhoods fall into decay the bridges each fall apart some nice new downtown buildings like Oxford and another the new skating rink is tiny but nice but tunnel and bridge access severely limits growth and my old neighborhood highschool fell victim to violence and ghetto creep I refer to Taylor Allderdice HS (The Dice) the water quality has improved, true from toxic to now undrinkable in 30 years you advised me not to intake any Ohio River water last summer I would not dip my hand into the Monongahela River but the Allegheny River is nice, upstream a few miles let's drop this you like the city, despite living 30 miles north of it if you like it so much, move back into it / jim
