What America Can Learn From Pittsburgh This long-depressed city has overcome some of its most serious problems. Maybe others can accomplish the same thing.

Attention for @chrisbriem.bsky.social's book "Beyond Steel" continues to build, now with a substantive writeup in Governing Magazine. "Pittsburgh has reinvented itself into a high-tech, knowledge-economy success. If Pittsburgh can do it, can other places?"

"where they are moving from". This chart is specifically capturing people who moved into these neighborhoods from outside of the whole eight-county Pittsburgh MSA... So this is where people moving to Pittsburgh - writ large - from elsewhere in the country... not folks moving within the region.

With a major change to bus routing again on the horizon in Allegheny County, it’s worth looking back at the core route numbering scheme currently in place. We just have to be different; the routes were numbered *counterclockwise* from (sort of) true north.

Neighborhoods needed to be grouped to keep geographies consistent across decennial years where census tract boundaries changed. That grouping is due to the shift of the area under the Civic Arena moving back to tract 305 from tract 201.
