Socialism has never worked in any country ever

She wants to take 6 million away from the Buffalo police force hahaha and then allocate more funds The most violent city in the state.. they need better police training not handicapped

So the city didn't just elect a socialist to win the primary? India Walton is a on the record socialist

Buffalo has been stabilized over the last 16 years under Byron Brown Hes a politician who knows the game.. sure he ran a weak campaign but he thought he was a shoe in to win There are a lot of business men and people in the community who are really worried about somebody who is unqualified with radical ideas If/when she is sworn in and depending how long she stays the City of Buffalo could drastically change.. it's a very real unknown element

Of course not But they might make a decision that it doesn't go downtown because of a socialist mayor and an unknown element

Would love to go there and try some ribs

It's mostly Terry pegula's money and he could spend where he wants If the county and State was paying 70% of the bill I'm sure they put it downtown

All of those things you said have been part of my points And sure if they changed more one-way streets and added more highway ramps and stuff it could work.. but they're not doing that Of course it could work but it's not the best idea

Compared to Los Angeles we don't know what traffic is But Buffalo was built with a street grid pattern unlike most of America. It was actually built for bicycle riding and walking to connect and traverse Olmsted parks Not motor vehicles.. and it has not been updated to the 21st century It's a beautiful city that was actually meant to get around by walking or riding bikes, the grid was not meant for cars

The City doesn't all live downtown Most of the population lives in north or south Buffalo west or east side.. downtown's actual population is under 5k has never been huge.. downtown has the same population as Lovejoy a small neighborhood on the east side North Buffalo and South Buffalo and the east side have 5 to 10 times more the population and always have Downtown has always been hectic when there's 20-30 k plus downtown.. let alone 75k

I really hope Brown can win a write in.. I think he's brought a lot of stability to the city

I don't disagree that there was some bad football But I do think Ralph did want to have a consistently winning team he just couldn't do it

Listen , I think Ralph Wilson just made some poor personnel decisions as an owner, he let his emotions get in the way But the whole Ralph is cheap thing is stupid and shouldn't even be a thought He's the man who brought us here and kept us here. He made OJ Simpson the highest paid player in the seventies. Jim Kelly the highest paid player in the '80s.. the '90s bills were called the million dollar bills.. he gave Mario Williams the richest defensive contract in NFL history The problem is between all that he spent money on the wrong players and the wrong coaches

Let's put it this way. with the socialist mayor coming in The chances went from slim to almost none Downtown Buffalo is doing perfectly fine.. it's a lot of the other parts of the city that are struggling And Putting a stadium downtown isn't going to help the east side And the Packers are publicly owned team. The bills aren't So Green Bay is set up specifically for the Packers to help the economy The Bills going downtown would just be a hip move.. economically I don't think it makes much sense, because it's probably more expensive than what it would be to build in orchard Park If Terry chooses to build it downtown go for it.. I just doubt it

West side definitely has some nicer areas and parts of it definitely have been gentrified But There are still like 40 or 50 active gangs in Buffalo and they're all basically on the east or west side The east side is a mess tho Statistically Buffalo is the most violent city in New York that's fact. And most of the violence occurs on the east or west side

I just don't think the city has the money for it As beautiful as it sounds the subway just isn't coming into the suburbs Of course the city has suffered from a lot of things over the years.. but I don't think a downtown stadium is the fix.. or even part of the solution Downtown Buffalo is far from the problem. The East and West sides , which are lacking infrastructure, has a high gang problem, opioid problem and educational problems, need help... Their schools need better funding and better teachers, and their roads needs to be fixed and their neighborhoods need help At the end of the day Buffalo is the most violent city in New York.. you would never think it if you just went downtown... There's a whole lot of parts of the city that need help badly

Well I can almost promise you that that infrastructure, transport revitalization is not going to happen in the city There's been streets that have needed to get paved for a decade and they dont But for the greater part. The City of Buffalo has been changing for the better for the last 20 years.. and it didn't need a stadium to do it Go downtown, and you're not going to see a lot of Pizza huts and KFCs... It's all mom and pop shops, boutiques, breakfast nooks... From the theater district, to Allentown and Canalside And we do have a rail system from UB south to Canalside with like 14 stops in the city so at least there's that

The Patriots play in a suburb and they've won more super bowls than anybody in the last 20 years.. There's no economic boost for a downtown stadium , and we have 40 years of tradition and history in OP

I posted plenty of times. There is no data that shows that building new stadiums downtown help a cities economy.. plenty of studies have shown that I live here in the city and we don't need it downtown. I wouldn't be mad but we don't need it .. I never walked downtown and said the bills need to be here.. it's just the hip thing to say And it doesn't help the economy, it's been shown many times

If Ralph got us a great coaching staff.. assemble a championship defense.. and a solid offense... How is it his fault? He can't play the game I've done the numbers here plenty of times for people.. Ralph spent money all the time.. it just wasn't always money in the right spot

Because the grid pattern in downtown Buffalo is wonky It has one way streets and it's not meant for 90000 people .. At least orchard Park has more area, and road access Sabers games draw 20,000 people downtown.. that's minuscule to the 85-90000 that show up to orchard Park to tailgate and watch the game 90,000 people in downtown Buffalo would be a mob scene, you would never get out.. especially with the one ways and such Downtown Buffalo is just not meant to hold that many people at once .. it's a big small City.. but downtown gets cramped with 20 or 30,000 people... Let alone 90k

There are dozens of studies that show downtown stadiums do nothing to help a city's economy A stadium downtown will not revitalize the economy And you can get from downtown Buffalo to orchard Park or any suburb in 20 minutes.. easily It's fine in orchard Park. And if you think traffic jams are bad in op, you couldn't imagine 100,000 people downtown... That's why it's not going there Orchard Park is the easiest venue to build it around

Who cares what state leaders say? They haven't had the people's back in forever.. Buffalo has been on a small grind for 20 years turning the city around The last thing we need is a socialist destroying all the progress Who cares about negative media attention. The media is garbage and has turned our country against each other... Yeah Brown didn't run the best primary campaign.. but he could run a better independent campaign Let alone the fact that only 20,000 people voted in the primary.. literally half of what voted in 17 A city that's asleep voted in a socialist and we should get another chance to fix it
