No reason to insult the dude or threaten to ban him. He is right to a small degree. Some Pittsburgh neighborhoods are not very dense due to the topography. Even in the city you can run into some awkward areas of low density. Pittsburgh is different from most other cities in the way it was built and the influence of topography. 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.
