Top Five Reasons Why Pittsburgh is the Most Livable City
I know everyone already knows that Pittsburgh was voted most liveable city. But not everyone knows the reasons why. So I decided to write a list of the top five things that make Pittsburgh so great.
1.) Steelers – Most cities just have a bar or two that is Steelers themed, so fans can watch the games and feel at home. But we have the actual stadium the team plays in, so try and top that.
2.) Bars – Speaking of bars, Pittsburgh as plenty of them. If you want to bar hop all night just go to the Southside. If you want good Belgium beer, just to go to The Sharp Edge in Crafton. If you’re hungry for some bar food, just go to Rocky’s in McKees Rocks and you want leave hungry. What ever it is you want from a bar, Pittsburgh has it.
3.) Art & Shows – If you pick up a City Paper you will find a large list of Gallery Openings, Local Bands, and National Acts. So finding something to do on a Friday and Saturday night that doesn’t include a bar is not that difficult.
4.) Housing – If you’re looking for a place to live even if you don’t have a lot of money you can find it here. Pittsburgh has both suburban living (South Hills) and urban living (North Side).
5.) People – We all know how nice we are to tourists. I even help a few out from time to time. I been to other cities and the locals just ignore me, but when I first moved to Pittsburgh the locals here welcomed me.
That’s my list of why I think Pittsburgh is a great city. If you would like to add to the list feel free to comment.

I grew up just outside of Pittsburgh and I can tell you that it’s a great place to visit and if you do be sure to sto pat Primanti’s and pick up one of their famous sandwichs. However, if you’re looking to move there you better think twice. There’s no real job opportunities in Pittsburgh which is why I moved away and so did nearly everyone I grew up with.

You are right about the jobs, but it is getting better. Alot of my friends are now starting to get job offers in there field. So maybe next year you should think about coming back!
