On Oct. 3, about 65 people gathered at the City Reformed Presbyterian Church in The Run to discuss solutions to the neighborhood’s flooding. The discussion has occurred repeatedly over the years, at times in the same basement assembly room when it was owned by International Union of Operating Engineers Local 95.

Eighty people were gathered around tables at the Energy Innovation Center in the Hill District on Oct. 22, talking very seriously about the future of Pittsburgh. The discussions were about three possible scenarios to guide the Pittsburgh 2050 Comprehensive Plan. Those three scenarios gave the attendees a choice: Do they want a plan that makes the city better by focusing on housing, or jobs, or climate resilience?
