When we first published our article about 10 reasons why we love living in Pittsburgh, we naturally braced for some pushback, since some of the reasons we love the city are also things people dislike about it.
We get it, and totally fair in many cases!
A good example here of a love/hate relationship is, perhaps, the weather. We love that we have four seasons and that the climate here is relatively mild (from a global standpoint, at least). But while that is also a perk, we'd be remiss if we didn't note that the number of cloudy and/or grey days is substantial. One positive and a negative on the other side of the coin.
So in this one, we thought we'd flip that around and take a realistic look at some of the things we don't like about living in Pittsburgh for a balanced counterpoint- the weather will be included here as well.
Of course, everyone reading this should know by now that we really love living here (let's be honest- we wouldn't have started this site and lived here as long as we have if we didn't). But we are also practical by nature and are never shy about discussing faults that could be better- especially if you are considering moving here and want to know some very real downsides that are, admittedly, getting better as time goes on.
