Chef Jim Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Yeah, but not every city's major highway prevents waterfront development. Buffalo managed to put highway pretty much along ALL the best waterfront property. San Francisco had the same problem. Mother nature, in the form of the Loma Prieta earthquake took care of it. Now the waterfront is wonderful. It can be done. After the freeway was removed, in 1991, real estate values in adjacent neighborhoods went up by 300 percent. Entire new neighborhoods, oriented to the waterfront, were built and thrived in areas that had been hard to develop when the freeway stood as a wall that cut them off from the waterfront.

Ramius Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Buffalo's not hell. Hell is nice and warm 12 months out of the year. Huh, and here I always thought that upstate NY was proof that Hell freezes over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordio Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Huh, and here I always thought that upstate NY was proof that Hell freezes over. Man you guys are great. Most of you out of towners state that you are diehard bills fans but every chance you guys get you got to throw your cheap shots in about the city or the region. & it is not the minority of the people that are on this board that live outside of WNY that do this, it is the majority. I got a simple question for you out of towners. Why would you root for a football team aka the Buffalo Bills who represent a city & a region that you have so little respect for & dont particularly like? Would it not make more sense to just root for the team in the region you live in, Ramius, you could root for the Tampa Bay, Chef you could root for San Diego or Oakland, DC Tom you could root of course for the Redskins. Teams that represents an area where you obviously respect & like? Why root for a team that represents an area that is a standup punchline to alot of your jokes?

Gordio Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Touche Gordio! I just wrote THIS ON ANOTHER THREAD.....it baffles me as well as to why they would root for the "BUFFALO" BILLS Yeah, it is just the ignorant comments that get me jacked. People that are out of town dont realize all the beautiful condos going up on the harbor. I work right around there & they are actually building 1 more big unit as we speak. These condos as the senator said go for $500K & up. Someone must be buying them if they keep building them. I talk to the one contractor on my way to work this morning & he said they are building 2 more of these within the next 3yrs. My guess is there are about 15-20 units per building. The inner harbor is shaping up where you could actually walk around it & once the Casino is put up which they already started plowing the foundation & the bass pro goes up it will be a totally different looking city.

buckeyemike Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 And the inevitable result: http://www.buffalonews.com/cityregion/buff...ory/311138.html Did anyone else click on the link to the right of that story? It was about a retired Buffalo cop getting a $100,000/year pension. There's Exhibit 1-A for the prosecution regarding what is wrong with the city of Buffalo...public workers taking as much as they can and to hell with everyone else.

If you were to only read posts on this board you would think Buffalo is the only City with economic, population, weather, and sports issues. Go B word about Buffalo on a non-Buffalo forum. Of course somebody would in turn post the link here, but at least its a start..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
