There was action all over the James Street lots for a couple weeks. Earth movers, garbage bins, tons of concrete, and then....nothing. Here we are at a stand still waiting on, guess who? The City of Pittsburgh. Before the footer can be poured, a friendly city employee must come by to give the go ahead. When will this happen? When the friendly city employee feels like coming. Considering the amount of houses being built
in the city at this time...in come the cricket chirps...you would think they would be able to get over to the site in a reasonable amount of time. I don't know, 48 or 72 hours? Well here we are at week two waiting again. There were a total of 3774 building permits issued in 2008 compared to Charlotte (a comparable city) which had 12,236 per PittsburghToday.org. I have a sneaking feeling that the 2009 figures won't be much, if at all, higher. One would think the City would be falling over themselves to secure new city residents and more TAX DOLLARS! But I digress. Patience is a virtue and a roof- top deck is sublime. Only 9 more months to go...City of Pittsburgh - Don't make a liar out of me!
