Chris B. appears to be running out of patience with the conventional history of modern Pittsburgh, which blames the losses of jobs and wealth in steel towns such as Braddock squarely on the shoulders of the decline of the steel industry. As the data shows, and as Chris repeats over and over, the decline of places like Braddock is a complex tale. It got started long before steel started to slide, and it has all kinds of causes, some steel-related, some not.
