Review of Rochester, New York

Rochester - good and bad
Star Rating - 2/22/2006
Been here for 38 years - here's my take...
Bad:

Crappy economy. Crappy employers. 2 of the top 3 employers - a grocery store and a University. Low paying jobs. High unemployment. High crime. High pollution.

Good:
Cost of living cause everything else sucks. Best grocery store in America (one of the 2 top employers) Commute time low. Access to good health care (one of the 2 top employers).
