If Pittsburgh invested in transit the way Portland has, *then* Pittsburgh could become the new *it* city. It has great bones, but it has been underinvested-in so much for so long that it has a long way to go. The subway to Northshore is a nice first step, but it's only a first step.
Want a litmus test: When you can get from downtown Pittsburgh to Oakland and Shadyside on a train, then Pittsburgh will have arrived.
