Merging Allegheny County and the City of Pittsburgh (basically disolving the city) would create the seventh biggest city in the United States... Pittsburgh (It's currently 52nd biggest). That's bigger than San Francisco or Dallas. There are numerous financial benefits to making the move, but what a great psychological benefit to making a move already taken by Louisville and being pushed for in Buffalo. It will also provide some of the streamlining needed to grow from there.
