Review of Albany, New York

CANNOT WAIT TO MOVE OUT OF THIS HOLE!
Star Rating - 4/3/2006
Moving to Albany has been the biggest mistake of my life: no culture, ugly downtown, very unfriendly and uncultured natives, horrible long winters, cost of heating sky-high (many apartments have only electric heating which costs a fortune during those horrible winters here), expensive and very limited housing. Living here for the past five years for personal reasons has been true hell. Thankfully, I will be moving out this year but will have nightmares about living here for many years to come. For people who used to live before in NYC or Philly it can be a true cultural shock!
