What places are you thinking of? I used to live in NE, and can't really think of anywhere within driving distance that features noticeably different or more attractive weather.
- enraged_camel 10y agoNot driving. Flying. It's much easier to get anywhere from Boston/New York than from Pittsburg.
- doktrin 10y agoYou've lost me. There's definitely an airport in Pittsburgh. It obviously doesn't feature quite as many direct flights as a place like NYC, but on the pro side the airport is a complete breeze to travel through.
- dasil003 10y agoIs being a startup hub about coddled one-percenter lifestyles, or is it about a critical mass of ideas and hustlers? Maybe startups are the new finance, but it makes me sick.
- cfallin 10y agoIf flying to warm places is your metric, PIT has direct flights to LAX, SFO, Las Vegas, Atlanta, and four airports in Florida. I don't think travel connectivity is a good argument against Pittsburgh. It's also really easy to get to other east coast cities from here. Megabus goes to Philly and NYC for ~$15 if you buy at the right time. DC is a four-hour drive away. We may be inland a bit from the true "east coast" but we're not in the middle of nowhere. > Pittsburg Minor nit, but we're also very particular about the "h". It's "Pittsburgh."
- intrasight 10y agoI agree. A major strike against Pittsburgh is the weak transport. Airport was built as a hub (at huge expense to taxpayers), but is no longer a hub for any airline. A train to the airport would make a HUGE difference.
