Strongly disagree.  We lived there for several years, and our experience was terrific.  Our neighbors included us in family get togethers, etc.  People get out and talk to their neighbors.  Like anywhere else, it can depend on your situation, but our experience was great.  Across the board, people were very friendly and helpful.

We lived on the South side of Pittsburgh (not the neighborhood of Southside, but in the burbs).  I would agree with PP who mentioned Mt. Lebanon and Upper St Clair.  There are lots of other good communities there, as well.  DH easily went into the city on public transportation.  He drove to one of the lots and parked and took the train in.  Parking in the city is quite limited.  
I love the terrain, but agree with Pp who mentioned the hillsides.  Generally, you walk up steps to get in the front door or (on the other side of the street) you must walk down steep steps to get to your backyard.

I think it is a beautiful and interesting city.[/quote]
