Talk:East Liberty (Pittsburgh)

message: This whole thing is written towards the point of view that urban renewal is bad and we need to do certain things to save the neighborhood. --SPUI (T - C) 17:53, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

message: What exactly is the NPOV dispute associated with this article? There's no substantial controversy discussed on this talk page that hasn't been resolved.
Strangely, and alarmingly, the article studiously avoids race as a factor in the neighborhood's political context and development. In the 50's and 60's, was race an issue regarding the people who left East Liberty for the suburbs? Was race a factor in the concern over the overcrowding of Homewood and the building of three large housing complexes in East Liberty? Was the racial makeup and architecture of those large housing complexes reflective of the city as a whole, or reflective of particular issues of race in Pittsburgh? Eradicating race as an issue disrespects history and colludes with those who wish to eradicate races they don't like. It's politically illiterate, indifferent to history, not encyclopedic, and certainly not NPOV. JimmyTheSaint 16:18, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  NPOV--what's the issue? 

message: I do not understand why the article leads off with the words "predominantly African American" when virtually all of East Liberty is owned by white people.  The policemen and women are mostly white people, too.  The so-called "Blacks" who stroll about aimlessly on the streets of East Liberty do not dominate anyone or any thing.HeyYallYo 06:08, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Why is there an external link to an article about a mob robbing a gas station?  What does that have to do with anything specific in the entry?  I fully realize that East Liberty has crime issues, but so do a lot of neighborhoods in Pittsburgh.  I'm fairly new to this site, so if someone knows how to remove it, that'd be great.  I don't think it belongs there. Personinpgh (talk) 22:21, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Regarding the Decline section, the reference to the George F Cram company maps is misleading. The HOLC made the redlining maps, and only used Cram (one of many cartographers making urban maps at the time) as a basemap. It seems unfair to implicate the map company in the racism of the HOLC.
