1) Why did you move out of Buffalo?
Military - Quantico, Va.
2) Where did you go?
Northern Virginia
3) How does your new home compare to Buffalo?
Overpriced and overvalued. Family house in North Buffalo is far superior but the housing market in VA has made me alot of money...so I really can't complain.
4) If the econonmy and job market were stable would you move back?
In another year or two I plan on making Buffalo my home base again. I'm frequently overseas and have no real limitations on where home in the states could be, might as wll be the city that I love and grew up in.
5) What suggestions do you have to improve the quality of life here?
Buffalo is a microcosm of the US as a whole, previously decent manufacturing jobs exported so working families are taking 2-3 service industry jobs to make ends meet. Law of diminishing returns. Somehow private sector technology based industries need to be courted or the other growth industry is Defense Contracting. Oh yeah, either a Stanley Cup or Superbowl may help a tad!
