They closed the schools for SO LONG my niece got her summer vacation cut! ANd who said I moved away? I still have property there and go often! And no the incomes are not higher, and the higher taxes negate any savings on the one time purchase of the house because you get to pay them every year after year after year..And guess what? It looks like they're going up again! SO much for the property tax freeze they all talked about.
You are losing more residents than are moving in..the biggest employer IS the state, and you, the taxpayer are underwriting thru your taxes all that cheap healthcare the state employees get to enjoy while you pay for yours and theirs! Hey keep those rose colored glasses on - like Nicholson said, You can't handle the truth....
I still think you're a real estate agent - I never heard such one way biased thinking about a place in my life..and it is YOU who are doing a diservice to the readers here...I can't drive into my old neighborhood in Buffalo because the drug czars control that area now..Rochester is called the murder capital of USA..you think I wanted to see that happen to a place I called home?...I have many friends in Buffalo and we bemoan what has happened to our beloved cities in WNY. So don't single me out as being the bearer of bad news..Most of the young people that choose to stay in Buffalo eventually leave because they can't find work that's the truth..but don't believe me- go read the bufflaonews.com, or better yet talk to some of the reporters as I do regularly and let them set you straight...You get real..If folks choose to stay or move there, they should know what to expect and I wish them all the luck in the world.

Here's another correction to your erroneous post: Rochester sufferd none of the effects of the Fall 2006 Buffalo storm....obviously you don't have lenthgy conversations with your niece
As for my employment, it has nothing to do with real estate so again, your assumption is incorrect. As for this continuous pi##ing contest on whether your reality or ours, who still live here in NY, is the true one, let's leave it at this: believe half of what you read and none of what you hear. Keep kicking your home state if it makes you feel more worthy of your choice to move, but leave the ones who live here and are happy just that.
And furthermore, if leaving here to move to TN was it? is such a grandiose gesture on your part, why in God's name are you in here beating a dead horse? Seems there are quite a few of you in these state forums who feel fully qualified to crucify any ones perception of NY unless it matches theirs and then go on a bender ranting on how unqualified we are and we still live here.......
On that note, I'm going outside to enjoy another glorious day in the Finger Lakes 10/27/07 65 degrees and sunny but please, feel free to tell me I'm falsely representing the area again...
