'What's missing is an economic plan that helps everyone, not just techies and computer geeks, but everyday people.' (Said by a senior African American life-long Pittsburgh resident.)

Braddock Mayor Fetterman quoted someone as having said what applegrove said, to him in this distressed, bankrupt town. (Race was not mentioned, incidentally.) Discussion proceeded on challenge of abandonment of Braddock.

Recall: John Fetterman: 'He won the Braddock mayoral election in 2005 by one vote, and was re-elected in 2009 and 2013. As mayor, Fetterman has drawn international attention for trying to revitalize the economy in Braddock, with an article in The New York Times, an appearance on Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report” and a Levi’s jeans ad. He has made equality, environmental protection, gay rights, immigration and marijuana legalization major campaign issues. Fetterman is a self-described democratic socialist.[1] He ran for the United States Senate in 2016, but was defeated in the Democratic primary.' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Fetterman_(politician)
