The problem a lot of North American cities face and sooner than we think the cost of construction of those "office spaces" by some zoning rules that are never occupied to even meet the threshold expense of the construction of the massive gigantic towering structure that I don't know if that was even necessary in the first place. What that results in is "For Lease" signs popping all over the North America cities' major areas like downtowns. Business outlook seems gleam and dark and cities feel empty and useless. There is the infrastructure but there is no business then the infrastructure is just all set "for lease" becoming a liability on the business owner that first got it, the banks eventually, and the Federal bank finally. One of the major false assumptions is land values increase over time and a property is always an asset. Well that has been debunked time and time again. Land and property with actual humans residing and contributing and consuming within the economy increases the land value or property while countries that put laws for "speculative investors" to simply rely on profiting off the others living there while them never living there or contributing themselves by stimulating in the economy. Does nothing good in the short period of time not even long term but just exhausts the economy in a very short time and empties country's treasury in span of just 5 to 10 years and makes the space an overall liability. Benefits no one not the investor nor the government nor the people. This is a Great decision by Pittsburgh! More cities will follow these footsteps sooner than later DC, Atlanta, Las Angeles, etc. Pittsburgh and Portland can lead this necessary transformation.
We’ve got gondolas between the strip and Oakland and a BRT line between Oakland and Downtown coming, why do you want more expansion to a train that only serves the suburbs?
So live downtown work in the suburbs ? Those numbers didn't add up to 600 million. Giant Eagle going to open stores downtown ? The taxes alone. will keep people away.

If there were going to dvote housing to the homeless I'd get behind it, but that's not what this is. A big missed opportunity. How many will die this winter? There is a legal precedent, if the homeless LIVE on Pittsburgh property, Pgh MUST take care of them--housing, food, basic human needs. This kind of thing grosses me out. All that building in the Strip no one can afford and many stand empty. The city could buy the old West Penn prison and turn it into housing for the homeless. There is a Giant Eagle not that far. NO ONE is even trying to fix this. They just destroy their camp sites but then the homeless just move somewhere else. Shapiro is ok, he talks like Obama but I've never heard him talk about the homeless. If you're going to talk about putts millions into redevelopment with residential housing, you can't continue to ignore the growing homeless problems. Luxury apts? How about going from a tent in the cold to a small apt?
Mixed income development is a wonderful idea. One thing I'd love to see is a reall Market Hall. I've seen them in Seattle and the Bay Area. Sure, Target is ok, but wouldn't you love to be able to get fresh veg, meat, breads, cheese etc from folks growing and making it in western Pennsylvania?
first of all its not the roberto clemente bridge and its not the rachelle carson bridge its the sister bridges and gainy stop screaming you dont know how to talk the pointer sisters don't like you
I understand people are leaving Pittsburgh not moving there. $600 million over 10 years that ought to attract a lot of attention from people who want to siphon off a little for themselves. I’ve seen some really high price contracts with stuff built under the Davis Bacon act. Corruption abounds.
what are you attracting them to? whats your attraction? you have none are they building a new amusement park wow affordable houseing old news like ground hog day you people go in circles
attractions come with density, you silly goose. thats where a culture can develop and new ideas are cultivated. what makes the suburbs attractive? sitting inside all day after you drive home from work
Don’t you think it’s a little bit to late because how many people have keft already. I live in Florida it seems like that cuty should fix its infrastructure and other issues then waste more on waste just saying.
Their model is built on invest $600 million and encourage $6 Billion. Fat chance. When Steamships came on the scene, one firm decided to build ships with bigger Sails. $600 million pipe dream that will enable a handful of entrepreneurs. PERIOD.
This will welcome more homeless they have already ruined our beautiful city. Many people do not even go near town because of the homeless all over the streets. It's an embarrassing disgrace.
Actually having more available housing leads to lower levels of homelessness. Plus having mixed-use districts that have eyes on the street constantly as opposed to only during work hours can substantially reduce the incidence of antisocial behavior in those regions.
@@ErikBoesen Have you seen the homeless along the parkway? Have you seen the homeless and the needles and passing out and overdrugging through the cities of Pittsburgh? It's not going to happen. The local government is okay with this
They are welcoming busloads of homeless people into the city of Pittsburgh. How can we as citizens tolerate this? How is we? As citizens can okay the welcoming the homeless but at the same time trying to upscale the city. Let's figure this out seriously
@@rosewalther2790 One key part of "figuring it out" involves building more housing to accommodate a growing population. If there isn't enough housing to go around, lower income folks won't be able to afford it, leading to some people being made homeless and beginning a gradual slide towards more and more objectionable behavior that you're referring to. Even those who don't become homeless will be forced to live further away from jobs resulting in more traffic. Building more dense housing is a large part of dealing with the homelessness crisis. Why do you think that this redevelopment will lead to more homelessness? Do you have any other actual solutions in mind?
Lol why the hell y'all mayor hollering 😂😂...
👀
😂😂😂😂😂 Thought the man was about to have a stroke or heart attack.
He's on steroids. LOL
Why is he screaming? Bro,relax,this isn’t a football rally😂
Even better for him😂
Hopefully they'll remove some of the freeways that carve up downtown.
That mayor was feeling himself like it’s a pregame football speech 😂
I don’t even live in Pittsburg, why the hell am I watching this
While I'm from Bangladesh
I live in Pittsburgh and I'm wondering why I'm watching this? 😂.
More parks and bikelanes please
Pittsburgh is a cool city, I lived in Shady Side for a while, more housing downtown sounds good, more green spaces is always good.
What about public transportation?

I moved from Pittsburgh 10yrs ago i live in Phoenix
"Affordable" means it wont be affordable lets be real
👆- 🎯💯✅

The Math does it add up? there's about 450 million coming from where?
The government of Pennsylvania?…. 😂
The tax payers of course
@@MrRobertRueWhich means the taxpayers
Umm how about 600 mil to make the T better?
We’ve got gondolas between the strip and Oakland and a BRT line between Oakland and Downtown coming, why do you want more expansion to a train that only serves the suburbs?
Gainey actually makes me miss Bill Peduto

Blackrock strikes again here comes private equity
👆- 🎯💯✅
"Affordable" is only 1/3. So taxpayers are paying so property companies can rake in cash on 2/3 of the apartments
Now that's a lot of matches, That's the only thing I know that could revitalize Pittsburgh
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Governor AIPAC helped Send $17.9 Billion since October 7th to Israel… But, Pittsburghers get a measly $600 million…
The governor of Pennsylvania has no role in federal aid to Israel, which is handled by Congress and the President.

Good luck
So... $600 million for 300 afordable housing units... do i need to paint a picture or just scream.
I'm not the best at math but I feel like something was missing here....

A large chunk of that will go into the pockets of politicians
wow both fleets destroyed your all hit once again thankyou Alleghenies thieves don't win
Russell Wilson effect
why are tax payers footing the bill for developers to take buildings and turn them into cash cows for themselves to rent out ??
Any guesses on how much of this money will be stolen?
04:37 sounds like a BS pipe dream for Downtown Pittsburgh🙄

Density. People are attracted to density.

These clowns have no idea what they’re doing

Can 500 million of that redo the entire road system?
This really saddens me. $600 million is pathetic chump change.
Why take tax dollars from people as you are repossessing their homes for tax default, to subsidize the wealthy condos? Just asking. A. HO. S.
