Can we seriously just declare the whole "Buffalo" experiment a failure and shut the whole region down?
Nice land, nice people, great sports fans, but none of this is working. Everyone could move and we'd turn it into a nature preserve or something. Or just take people on tours of the empty city to show them what a real live city from the 1960s or 1970s looked like. It'll be like Colonial Williamsburg in a few decades.
On the other hand, those of us who left can see the value in having all the worst leaders and politicians in the world centralized in one poor city in WNY.
