While I don't disagree with your Ideas, keep in mind you would also lose the $6.5 billion that Andrew Cuomo has infused into Buffalo in the last couple of years

The buffalo billions is a scam of epic proportion to his political cronnies at our expense.
Buffalo has been on a long slow comeback, what would you do if you were the Mayor?
I'd follow Pittsburgh's moves. I'd move the Bills Stadium downtown or on the waterfront. I'd build highrise condos all along the waterfront with private parks in front of the buildings.
I'd try to sell the old malls to small, growing companies. Similar to what the Como Mall did when it became the Appletree Corporate Center. I have no idea what it is called now as I moved away from Buffalo to advance my career. Or I'd turn them into senior housing.
I'd improve the inner city schools. I'd start community HOA's so that people would be forced to clean up their area and the landlords would be forced to make the housing safe for habitation. I'd build an underground walkway or a highrise walkway between some of the government buildings like they have in Toronto.
I'd entice tech schools to open all over so that it attracts new blood to Buffalo. Most students who go to UB are not from the area, hardly anyone stays.
I'd force the sale of large empty buildings so they could be either used or torn down. Tons of those ugly empty buildings are owned by billionaires who have never even been in Buffalo. Buffalo is one of the most corrupt cities in the country. It's one of the reasons I left, along with a quadruple rise in pay to an area that was new, clean and cheap. I moved to Phoenix, AZ. Now I live elsewhere, and the only thing I miss about Buffalo is what's left of my family.
Here in Pittsburgh I've recently begun seeing new television commercials advertising tourism in Buffalo, and the advertisements are extremely well-done. It's because of this forum that I decided to visit Buffalo for vacation in Fall 2016. It was a wonderful experience, and I can't wait to return.
Buffalonians are your own worst enemy. With so many decrying how much Buffalo sucks it was hard for me to make the lucid decision to vacation in Buffalo. I'm glad I did.
Your urban core is fantastic. It truly is. Downtown Buffalo was extremely underwhelming, especially compared to Pittsburgh; however, we also walked all over Allentown and Elmwood Village and absolutely fell in love.
Buffalo really needs to work on boosting itself instead of shooting itself in the foot.
