Review of Buffalo, New York


OK but Not For Me
Star Rating - 1/20/2006
I grew up in Erie County, just outside Buffalo. The good: Food, Hospitals, Schools (other than Buffalo Public Schools), not as much snow as people think, no scorching heat, no tornados, no dangerous critters, close to Canada, plenty of government hand outs if you need them. The bad: (this is all statistically proven and supported) broken politics, the poorest economy in the nation, high taxes, no job growth, companies moving out, flatlined property values, in the worst county in the worst state, big government, overpaid public workers, too many public workers...the list goes on.
