In fact, Allegheny County's growth of almost 4,000 residents from July 2010 to July 2011 was the most year-over-year in several decades. Perhaps at some point in time Cleveland will start to experience this.

Not an apples to oranges coparison here; both are midwestern rust belt cities with similar demographics and what not...
I just hate to split hairs here, but even with its similarities to Midwestern cities, Pittsburgh is an interior Northeastern/Appalachian city. But I do think that Pittsburgh could serve as a model for Cleveland here.
