Some come, some go. Oh well, but I think there is a better battle to pick. |

You respond with:
Not necessarily true about housing being more affordable and in many cases, even with the property tax rates, housing can/is more affordable overall.
States without income tax usual make that up in higher property taxes(TX and NH) or higher sales tax(TN). So, those states get you elsewhere.
And yet people want to go to Texas anywhere but New York but your the only one who keeps posting like there's a comparison.
Everyone has a "Tech Sector", Albany can call it what it wants but they don't make the list, try picking a reference that isn't a promoting the region. As the poster stated "As others above have already stated, it's the Poconos. Not Silicon Valley."

People do choose to live there and enjoy it but for younger people its a dead end and they are going to leave and not come back thats just a fact and what they are posting is not wrong.

Again, I posted facts as well and didn’t say that anyone was wrong, but you actually can’t view home prices by state. It is better to do so by area due to the differences in cost of living within states. Hence, this housing opportunity index list in terms of affordability rank by the National Association of Home Builders(again, not because I said so): https://www.nahb.org/-/media/NAHB/ne...rank-20q4.xlsx
Source: https://www.nahb.org/News-and-Econom...ortunity-Index
A business journal isn’t promotion and that article was in reference to a list made by another source. So, there goes that. Let alone the many tech companies posted in the past on here and that none of this still negates that there is a growing tech sector in the Albany area. I guess this Wall Street Journal article isn’t true: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wsj...ds-11575867660
For the last time, the point was about making a distinction about the Adirondacks and Upstate NY. I already mentioned why the Adirondacks and the Poconos are different earlier in the thread.

Keep believing what you want and while your at it check the latest Census data, all 4 of the upstate cities lost population.. 
Of course i'm sure you will come back with "well Amherst has grown by 8 people..." save it..  |

Again, that still doesn't negate anything I've said in relation to this thread. Let's actually stay on topic in regards to the article/thread as this is about the Adirondacks. |
