It’s almost like different areas are for different people? The city is not a place to raise kids, and I prefer it that way…get your picket fence and have fun in the Southtowns, truly great spots to raise a family.
leave the city to the younger crowd, empty nesters, and people who prefer a grimy vibe over a strip mall vibe. Don’t white wash my city, white wash Hamburg.
Considering you don’t live there anymore then why care? Let everyone who lives there enjoy the vibe, you can pop down from East Amherst for a Sabres game then scurry back to the suburbs before a big scary unhoused person asks you for change.
