In Pittsburgh there are dense neighborhood pockets bordered by low dense park land or hills. Yet it's suburbs have dense towns (although some are in shitty shape) stretching along all three rivers where the steel mills that built the metro where located. Pittsburgh is still dense but in a unique way based on topography. It has many incredible dense neighborhoods that are as compact as east coast cities as well as places that feel like West Virginia. I don't what a "true city" is, but that just sounds retarded to say Pittsburgh doesn't make one.

I generally agree with you, CubicalRebel. Pittsburgh has VERY dense areas surrounded by far less dense areas because of topography. But that isn't what that guy was implying. He seemed to act like Pittsburgh has no density and isn't a real city, whatever the hell that is.
