Hype
The average low temperature is 40 degrees and even in the summer you need a long sleeve shirt at night, with the exception of a handful of days. The city and surrounding suburbs are full of alcoholics, and drugs are easily available. taxes are among the highest in the nation and the Democrat leadership has not moved the needle on the poverty rate which hovers at about 30% and is among the worst in the nation. despite rhetoric from the Democrat leadership that everything in Buffalo is doing great, facts tell a different tale. Murray county executives about how much money they spent on road repair, most of that money were tax dollars recoup from our fuel taxes, and in reality the county spends very very little on fixing the third world level roads. More potholes in Buffalo suburb then on my recent trip to Costa Rica. The best paid people in New York state are the New York State employees, are not required to pay any state sales tax, imagine that. Direction of New York State is getting worse all the time with the radical leadership of Governor Cuomo. If you're not a Democrat your best stop never stepping foot in New York state, because the party of existence is the most intolerant group of people I've ever met. People are leaving New York because the people here are rude, The taxes are too high, goods and services are very expensive. Middle class is being eroded, in New York is turning into a two-class state. Have and the have knots. After mortgage school and property taxes and high fuel and high insurance costs, not much left over. I agree with many other people that it's time to leave New York State.
