[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pittsburgh is the past. Raleigh is the future. It's that simple. Go to where the growth is. If because you'll find way more people who moved there for professional opportunities and open to welcoming new friends while [b]Pittsburgh is a closed market where everyone sticks to their high school friends.

I do like Pittsburgh and architecturally it's great, but North Carolina is a no brainer for me. You're also closer to the coast and the beaches. [/quote]

Have you ever lived in Pittsburgh? This is so far off. And its got 3 major universities and is a major medical hub. There is a lot, professionally and culturally, going on in Pittsburgh. [/quote]

Same complaints are very common for Philadelphia and Philadelphia is much bigger with more universities and medical hubs.

Some cities are just easier for people to move to than others. [/quote]

What's your point? I lived in Pittsburgh for 4 years. Has a ROBUST arts scene. Lots of fun neighborhoods, all of which their own, unique feel to them. Schenly Park. You can get all sorts of "diverse" exposure to culture: white, black, mediterranean, african, East Asian, South American, etc. etc. I had them all there. There is a huge LGBTQ+ population, even back in the stone ages when I was there. Lots of sports, too.

The weather isn't great but it is a GREAT place to live. And an easy transition from another city (I came from the boonies, which I would argue is a much tougher transition). [/quote]

This isn't unique to Pittsburgh. Every city above a certain size is going to offer all of what you described. Including Raleigh-Durham.

But having moved to a few cities in my life, due to work, certain types of cities are going to be much easier on transients and relocating families than others. I wouldn't rank Pittsburgh as one of them, although if you put in the effort to establish roots through community institutions like churches or synagogues, it can be easier. [/quote]

No, not all cities offer these things. i've lived in several cities as well. I will also say that I found Pittsburgh very easy on "transients" or people new to the area. So I heartily disagree with you there. [/quote]
