I was at the old steel mill site in Pittsburgh last month and the redevelopment story is way more complex than the headlines say.
The local paper just calls it a new tech hub, but the community meetings are all about who actually benefits from the tax breaks. Has anyone else seen a big project like this in their city?

Where did the other 420 jobs go?

Did the community meetings ever get a straight answer about what those tax breaks actually cost the city per job?

Only 80 jobs from a 500 job promise? That's a huge gap between the hype and what actually happens. These projects always seem to benefit the developers more than the people who already live there.
