vincec Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 At this point, why doesn't the team just buy a house and rent it out to the coach? They're never here more than 2 or 3 years... Good thinking. You have a good financial head on your shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Yes but it's a city where the worst times are potentially behind it. I know a lot of former Buffalonians love to tell themselves the narrative that the area is dead, but it isn't true. If you want to say you left for better taxes,weather, etc that is fine. However, it's slowly becoming an wives tale that the economic grass is greener on the other side. People with skills and education can succeed in most fields in WNY just as much as they can elsewhere. People without either will struggle just as much elsewhere as they would in WNY. The golden age of finding greener pastures is over. The bolded part I agree with. the rest I don't. I garnered the skills and education in WNY to earn a nice living, then headed south for more tolerable weather. I get back once a year -in the early Fall.

Mr. WEO Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I agree, I think the city hit rock bottom in the early to mid eighties and was kind of stuck in that rut and stagnation through most of the nineties. Other cities boomed and skylines exploded upwards while Buffalo seemed to tear down more than it built. There is a lot of private and public investment going on now, people putting their own money into infrastructure and projects and getting returns. it just feels like momentum has turned and is sustainable. Even manufacturing is returning with Solar City/Tesla. It's not all great- the east side is not exactly along on the reinasance ride. Taxes are still prohibitive for business. Compared to many other areas, buffalo is doing well. Just need the Bills to catch up now! Most of the Buffalo "boom" is the result of Cuomo's "Buffalo Billion", which turns out is mired in scandal.

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I delivered papers in the early 60's on Lebrun and Labrun Circle and those people were the worst tippers and really cheap. They live in a different world. Well, which one? The real one, or the Buffalo Evening News? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
