-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. --[[User:SPUI|SPUI]] ([[User talk:SPUI|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/SPUI|C]]) 17:53, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

-Thanks for those comments.  I have taken out the remarks criticizing urban renewal and noted the support that some residents had for what were certainly well-intentioned renewal decisions.

-I have also taken out an initial comment that the East Busway tended to increase the neighborhood's relative isolation, as it generated discussion that pointed out the inaccuracy of that comment, and seemed to be discursive.  Because the busway is largely in a natural ravine, and because its two local stops seem to have helped Shadyside (at Ellsworth and Highland Avenues) without doing much one way or another for East Liberty, I thought this whole section ought not be present.
-== NPOV--what's the issue? ==
-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. [[User:JimmyTheSaint|JimmyTheSaint]] 16:18, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
