Review of Binghamton, New York


Binghamton is the worst!
Star Rating - 5/4/2021
I've lived in this area my whole life-all 23 years of it. Even in my lifetime about half the businesses I remember are now boarded up often with no replacements. So many iconic companies left here long ago, before I would remember. Most new things proposed here get squashed, anything from new job opportunities to recreation. The job market pretty much consists of working in retail, food service, healthcare or education; only recreation anymore is weed. This whole county continues to get poorer while the taxes and hidden fees remain much like the rest of the state. The education is severely lacking. Covid restrictions appear to be going nowhere. There is literally no reason to stay here at all.

COVID restrictions have in fact lifted significantly as of late. If there is no reason to stay, kindly feel free to go wherever makes you happy.
