Another Two Reasons Pittsburgh Is Gay

Steeler's theme song:

I'm not grumpy. I just think these threads are childish and pathetic. You're also delusional. Pittsburgh has a thriving housing market, has become a model for cities on the mend around the United States. Has several substantial development/redevelopment projects underway. Allegheny County where Pittsburgh resides hasn't had property taxes raised in 10 years. Great health system (Wash with the Cleveland Clinic tho). It's becoming a hub for major motion pictures AND several major retailers/corporations have made Pittsburgh the home for their national headquarters. Pioneer in green technology and a hell of a lot more diversity/culture. Very few places remain in Cleveland that are worth a sh.it. The city and the surrounding area is depressed. The housing market is awful. The sports teams aren't far behind despite the Indians. Very high pollution concentration all of which Cleveland blows over the damn border in to Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh is thriving/growing and evolving.
Cleveland is a depressed area period.
Facts of life right now.
AKA SNATCH98 or Rorbotron. The boards glorious admins decided to get cute and change my name to "homotron" Classy group of people. (Lost a bet with Columbus king and got banned for a month) -

Only as you see it through your piss colored lenses. I sit on the board of an economic development quasi-governmental entity, and I can assure you that many of the same thing you claim are going on in Pee-town are also going on here. We have several "green" companies locating here including alternative renewable energy companies. A number of movies are being made here (including ones called The Avengers, and Liberal Arts). To say that Pee=town has more cultural entities is laughable. Cleveland may have the finest Orchestra in the nation. (Top 3-5), the Art Museum is one of the top 5. Have you heard of the Rock n' Roll HOF (that IS a "cultural" entity).
If you have pollution in Pee-town, it ain't coming from Cleveland, but from the coal fired energy plants in WVa, KY, and maybe southern Ohio. (do you want them to shut those down and turn off all the lights in Pittsburgh?)
The prices of housing here are quite reasonable. Yes, there have been foreclosures. Where hasn't there been foreclosures. Florida and California have been worse.
And, like I said, why do we need to hear your claims of superiority in all these areas. That is not the subject of this thread.
The subject is whether or not Pittsburgh has a larger percentage of its population that considers itself homosexual.
If, indeed, that is the case, why would you deny that?
Having a large gay population brings with it that diversity and culture that you are professing. Why be defensive about it on the one hand while promoting it on the other?

Why would a guy named Homotron be defensive about the presence of gay neigborhoods in Pittsburgh? See this article:
List of Nation’s Top Emerging Gay Ghettos Announced
Whether or not you subscribe to Richard Florida’s “creative class” theory, where the gays go eventually so do higher property values, less crime, better schools, ethnic diversity and growth.
In that vane, GayGhettos.com in partnership with GayRealEstate.com, the leading resource for gay-friendly real estate transactions, announces its inaugural list of the nation’s top up-and-coming “gay ghettos.”
President Jeffery Hammerberg defines gay ghettos for their “richness of diversity—like a colorful tapestry—that makes these neighborhoods such a wonderful place.” Many gay ghettos are locations of revitalization and renaissance in the cities where they are located. They are likely more affordable than the present “gay-borhood” and ripe for investment and community building.

HEY CLEVELAND!!! BREAKING NEWS!!! IT'S NOT 1946!!!
basically, if you're not up on the times that means that your football team is the better part of a century from being competetive and it's no longer cool to gay bash.
as i've said before, it's WAY past the time for people to find the term "gay" a derogatory term.
welcome to the 21st century cleveland.
but who the hell cares? if you're not homophobic and covering up your own insecurities then who would care at all if their city is labled in the top ten "gayest" cities?
hmmmm what exactly would define a "gay" city?
-low crime?
-high median income?
-high property values?
-high intrest in the arts and theater?
-a fashion conscious population?
-more starbucks?
i'll take it! (except maybe the starbucks)

I haven't read any of the above stuff, just swinging in real quick. I'll read the rest later BUT i could care less about their being a prominent gay community in my home city. I'm not a homophobe, have a few gay friends from college AND my gf's uncle is gay. I'm totally accepting of that lifestyle. Adding that label to the city of Pittsburgh is only going to bring more business and more people. Sexual preference does not make the person. I just thought yet ANOTHER pittsburgh "hate' thread was/is comical and you're in here frothing at the mouth.

Actually, everything about MY posts tried to bring out the humor or the social impact of this situation. You are the one frothing at the mouth over this.
This was a "is Pittsburgh gay" thread. You are the one that tried to turn it into a Cleveland vs. Pittsburgh thread.
You reap what you sow. If you turn down that road you are going to have to travel on it and deal with the potholes that are on it. Don't cry when you fall into a pothole.
Maybe you would like to come up with statistics on which city has more potholes on their roads?
I suspect they are both among the national leaders in that category.
