It's a shame there's an international border between Buffalo and Toronto. There's no question that much of T.O's prosperity would filter down our way, with people looking for affordable housing while commuting north.

He's mentioned this before - he has a deeply held belief that Buffalo's fortunes will turn around as soon as the Bills win the Superbowl.

I've always held that same weird belief that if we win the Superbowl, somehow, Buffalo will improve. I think at least we will lose the monkey on the back and our image will improve at least. It would be very very hard to justify taking the team away from Buffalo after they won a Superbowl and good feelings were running high all around. I almost feel that we have to win in the next 3 years.

He certainly is not alone in that belief

Right, if the Bills win the Super Bowl, taxes will automatically drop; population and jobs will grow exponentially; politicians will think clearly and work for the taxpayers, not against them; and unions will let go of their stranglehold on our wallets because those same clear thinking politicians will stop taking their campaign contributions from unions and overturn key pro-union laws such as the Taylor Law, thereby ensuring their high salaries, lifetimes benefits and pensions that so keep our state from being competitive will be kept in line with their private sector counterparts.

It's not a dream. It's an irrational belief. There's a difference.
