This week,
representatives from the world's largest economies will meet in
Pittsburgh for the G-20 Summit. President Barack Obama recently
praised the city as "a bold example of how to create new jobs and
industries while transitioning to a 21st century economy." Yet as
Bill Steigerwald writes, for at least the last 30 years,
Pittsburgh's power brokers have wasted billions of federal and
state tax dollars on a series of destructive urban renewal schemes,
redevelopment boondoggles, and wasteful mass-transit projects.
