I was in other upstate cities recently: Syr, Bngmtn, Roch, Ithica
and for the life of me I do not understand why Buffalo does not have the businesses and the loyalty of the business community that other cities have toward their city.
Why doesnt Buffalo have a Kodak like Rochester or a Corning like Ithica?
Buffalo is the only waterfront city other than NYC and yet our city has turned its back on its waterfront for over 50 years.
Buffalo has been a city of transportation and yet its turned its back on light rail, rail and its port.
Buffalo has been a city of manufacturing and technology and yet its atrophied its industrial base
Buffalo was a city of education and other than UB, the rest of the area colleges are business & liberal arts colleges certainly not training students for new technology and new industries.
Buffalo was once an International Port of Entry and we cant even build a new Peace Bridge.
BUFFALO DOES NOT TAX MORE OR HAVE MORE BURACRACY OR MORE UNIONS THAN OTHER UPSTATE CITIES, SO WHY IS BUFFALO SO OSSIFIED, BANKRUPT, ATROPHIED AND BARREN!
