hello trv - /trv/

Hello, /trv/ Does anyone here live in, or has lived in, the city of Pittsburgh, PA? Talk about how good it is if so. I am seriously considering moving since it seems to be reasonably priced, somewhat nice and closer to my family. I live in Charlotte, NC right now, and the costs are similar but this place is a hellhole plus I don't know anyone. Alternatively, has anyone here moved elsewhere from a Charlotte-like city? How did you pick it?

Never been to Pittsburgh itself, but western Pa is really nice with its geography and small town vibes

If you're in Charlotte, I'd go to Charleston and find something near the beach. Fuck cold ass Pittsburgh. You're going to hate it up north. Bad weather. Shitty people.

Charlotte is probably the easiest place to meet people.Extremely transplant dominated and everyone lives in the same 3 neighborhoods.

I lived in Pittsburgh for a few years, maybe my favorite place to live. It’s a historically significant place with some great architecture and European immigrant flavor. Lots to offer for a city its size.I think most of the migration pattern we’ve seen in the US lately has been people moving from cities like Pittsburgh to cities like Charlotte. So you are against the trend.Biggest downside for Pittsburgh is cold, gray winters.

Pittsburgh is also called Shittsburgh by locals due to the weather. Mostly grey and rainy a lot.Cool city though, I've been twice. If you're a college student at University of Pittsburgh, it was a cool spot since the buses were frequent and useful.It's been like fuckin 15 years since I've visited.The view driving in though is crazy since the skyline comes into view like fucking Manhattan from the intro tunnel, it was nuts.Seemed ok otherwise, though if you're limited on funds idk. I would only move there if I had some kind of tech job lined up.

Any similar cities to Pittsburgh in New York State?

Anon09/14/25, 13:03No.2823572

I love Pittsburgh, strongly considering moving there or Columbus and getting out of my Maryland, DC area hell hole.

Anon09/18/25, 02:52No.2824739

What about Poughkeepsie?

I lived in Pittsburgh (South Side Flats) for a year. I found it disappointing after the initial excitement wore off.

Anon09/19/25, 21:38No.2825450

Pittsburgh still has a provincial vibe. That may be what you were picking up on.

I want to move south desu It's way easier to sneak a vacation into a 10hour drive than a 16 hour one, you can essentially leave at sunset

lmao pittsburgh is not real you fucking retards

Have you noticed the big sign on the former US Steel Building? It says "UPMC" University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. I don't quite understand how a hospital system with a health plan became the driving force behind Pittsburgh's rebirth, but it sure did just that.

>Pittsburgh > reasonably priced Yeah, if your standard of living is literally "well it's a roof over my head".I've seen a few threads on /trv/ over the months about moving there. Is it just one anon with homesickness or some meme /trv/ and /biz/ is falling for? Property taxes are pretty damn high there, the winding make no sense roads go from okayish to shit half the time, and utilities are higher than average. Sure it's probably cheaper than the jewish city of Charlotte, but that isn't saying a whole lot there. Please don't tell me there is some "I MOVED INTO A 75K 4BR MULTI STORY MANSION IN PITTSBURGH AND YOU CAN TO!" tiktok trend. Those houses are all from the 1920's without proper HVAC and most likely are filled with mold, mildew, and water damage from a century of wintery mix.
