How Bad Is Buffalo? -
11/11/2021Buffalo is a unique and exciting place to live. There are always things to do, no matter the season. Festivals, concerts, outdoor activities, breweries, shopping, and even a natural wonder, you'll fall in love with all the things that are here. We are a big city with a small city feel. Let one of the local people know you are from out-of-town, and they will be sure to recommend places to visit, eat, or activities to do. They might even take you on a tour of the area! The cost of living is very reasonable, and amenities are plenty. Schools are great, and the cultural institutions are vast. The area has seen a resurgence over the last decade and the population is now rising for the first time in 70 years. The old attitude that the grass is greener elsewhere, and the belief that things don't get done here (as displayed here on this site) are fading as buildings are being refurbished, and developers invest heavily in all parts of town. Jobs are plenty as the unemployment rate in Sept. 2021 was 4.7%, one percent above pre-pandemic levels. This is a great place to raise a family. You can afford so much here, and still have money left over to travel, or do whatever you love. This city isn't perfect, but it's pretty close.

11/11/2021Sorry you had such a miserable time in Buffalo, however, there are many, many more of us that are very happy to be here. We do travel all across the world, as evidenced by a Buffalonian seemingly running into another Buffalonian no matter where you are, and we do enjoy sitting down and sharing stories of our travels, as well as those of back home. We know other places and are very proud of where we come from. And yes, we are happy that Buffalo is seeing a renaissance that includes many people from around the world settling in Buffalo. Our population is rising, and we are a work in progress. No shame in that. Our world-class status at the beginning of the last century has left us with a plethora of gems that we still enjoy today. I love living in a city that looks and feels unique. And the food, that is still world-class. You can't miss when you have a natural wonder, fantastic food, interesting people, unique spaces, superior cultural institutions, and so many new breweries and other entertainment options opening up every week. Sure, we aren't perfect, but we are proud of who we are. I hope you come back to enjoy the new Buffalo and change your mind about us who still are here.
