I haven’t heard anything about Pittsburgh getting this despite being in the top 10 on betting sites.
Quite frankly, Pittsburgh couldn’t handle an influx of 50K jobs unless they buy all of our downtown area and rename it “Amazon”. Our traffic would grind to a halt as would our public transportation.
However, we have world class bike trails/lanes!
It all depends on where they land the HQ.
If they try any of the “trendy” areas of town where tech stuff is setting up there isn’t room for a development of 50,000 jobs and the buildings/campus to go with it.
The rumored Strip District thing, no f’ing way. Not unless they’re going to build the biggest/tallest office building in the city. However pulling the T to the strip would be very easy to do. Same with expansion of the busway.
Since we have no idea what the city/county bid is who’s to say. Suffice to say I would never want to have to park in town on a weekday with 50,000 more people commuting. Or drive through the tunnels at rush hour.
