    I'm a weirdo who loves the snow here. I love the cozy feeling of being snowed in while toasty warm inside. Most of the suburbs get their plows out early and often. And while we sometimes get a ton of snow, it's not really super cold here compared to say North Dakota.

    Some of my earliest memories of Buffalo were driving through there on the way to visit family in Detroit way back in the 70’s. There were tons of steel mills at that time and it always kind of seemed like the twilight zone to me. I guess it’s changed a lot if you young professionals are digging it now!

    I left in 1983. The economy was hammered and I left for work. Settled down in California for 40 years. No regrets. Cali is in decline, but once you leave the cities, it’s like living in Italy. I enjoy coming back to Buffalo to visit relatives. It’s really recovered. People are very friendly in Buffalo. My mom had a mini stroke and was driving her car. A lady saw her in her confusion and was able to help her. This happened just 2 years ago.

    I did the Pointing Rick Dalton meme when you said you’ll never get stranded in the snow in Buffalo! Born and raised in Buffalo but spent most my adult hood in Orlando. In 2002 when I was in high school I lived in the east side, walking back home one night after picking up some avenues pizza there was a ladies car stuck in the snow on Holden st. Me and my uncle helped her out and then shared some wings with her. I love my city and hope to one day return for good.

    I currently live in Miami, Florida, but next month, I'll be relocating to Buffalo because of my job. I had the chance to visit Buffalo last week, and it was definitely a beautiful place. Very old fashion. Also cold, but nothing some layering can't help. I'll be honest, although I loved the place, moving out to another state to live on my own has me pretty scared, but I'm hoping that once things are in motion and I find my routine in Buffalo, I'll come to love the place and feel comfortable. And this video certainly helps.

However, I would like to know and/or watch a video on the winter time, I’ve heard you get about 7 to 8 feet of snow and after watching Grumpy Old Men, and Fargo, I don’t know that I’d be able to deal with that much snow I’m retiring and looking for a place to retire that has seasonal weather.

      Hey Henry!! I think that the elmwood village is the best area for you guys!! It’s so quaint and definitely the safest of the three areas, although none are dangerous in my opinion. I think you’ll fall in love with elmwood though!!

      Public schools suck here. I agree that Elmwood would be a good area, but then you'd want to send your kid to private school. I think a better option would be moving to Amherst. There are good public schools in Amherst. Stay away from places such as Lovejoy and areas of East Buffalo.

      South Buffalo! I highly recommend it. Tim Russert grew up there and his schools still are some of the very best. Grew up all over Buffalo. For cost of housing, activities for kids, sense of family-community and traditions South Buffalo has all the elements of a well rounded upbringing giving your child a clear view of all aspects of city life. They will well educated in excellent private schools peppered with real life street smarts. They won't be naive and vulnerable when they begin college and get into trouble exploring the unknown dangers out in the real world. It's very important to be able to get glimpses of it in your growing years. Not a part of your life, but seen enough to know how important it is to avoid it. Just one of the myriad of excellent reasons I would love my kids to live in this completely overlooked area of Buffalo.

      Her bubbly attitude isn't convincing the people who moved away either. This video is a fake as she is. Buffalo has been in a huge decline for over 30 years now and the winters absolutely suck along with the insanely high property taxes. The area lost 85% of its manufacturing jobs in the '90s causing a massive exodus of people to states that were growing. We lived there until we were in our early 40s, moved South and never looked back and when we go back for high school reunions, only a small group of people still live there.

NAFTA killed 80% of the manufacturing jobs and most of the jobs were in manufacturing. Kids didn't ask you if your father worked in a factory, they asked you which factory your father worked at and the area has yet to recover.

    Buffalo and WNY are anything but affordable.
