Pittsburgh East Side - Enough is Enough!

With all this talk of driving growth to the once-industrial curated hills of Pittsburgh's East neighborhoods, such as Hazelwood, are finally gaining the attention they rightfully deserve. These now underserved communities are set to evolving redevelopment along the Monongahela Riverfront in Hazelwood. This development site is set to preserve the rich history of the mon-valley, with farsighted views of downtown, do you think this would be enough for you to reconsider this area for your investing strategies?

Enough is enough, it is finally time for these neighborhoods to get the love they deserve!

@Jim K. let's give credit where credit is due. By no means is this the answer to the rise of Hazelwood and Greenfield, but it's a damn good start. If you build, they will come. A big risk, and a big piece to the puzzle of the long-term goal of making this city a technology hub. Housing a community of minds in a place starving for love is a recipe for a win in my opinion. Sure the big fancy heinz endowments are making the first move and perhaps could've done better, but I for one am all for this park. If you think about what tourism brings, and adding another picturesque side of the city is going to take time. They are still doing work on the grandview overlook and look what that has done for those communities. I completely agree with what you said about Hazelwood being underserved. The city has yet again boxed a certain population group of people into a community where they simply don't care. It's truly a shame, but in this dark world, I hold onto hope and wish to break the cycle.
