Fucking stupid comment. We all know the planet will still be here, humans being on it is kind of important to the humans. When people say we are fucking up the planet that is shorthand for we are fucking up the planet for human habitation because that's kind of a pain in the ass to say each time. Also saying you are sick of experts is the kind of non thinking that is wrong with some people these days. Next time you have a health problem go and get a homeless person with a spoon and see if he is better at helping you than someone who has trained for 20 years. The thing about experts is that they know how little and how much they know - you don't.

It's already turning around numbnuts, unlike that cultural wasteland you live in. The waterfront is blowing up and we're one of the largest destinations for college educated millennials..
Here's a primer from two years ago that's already outdated: https://www.lonelyplanet.com/article...elt-resurgence

I wouldn’t call a bunch of young people with gobs of student loan debt buying cheap subsidized housing a turn around. Neither is selling microbrews on the water front. Let’s see where it is in five to ten years.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

It's not "subsidized housing" dummy. The real estate market here has skyrocketed in the last ten years and most of the city is gentrifying. The arguments are other other way, that like a mini-San Francisco, the poor will be pushed out but that's not an issue for at least another 10 years, when the East Side will be pushed into and bought up. And selling microbrews is great everywhere....Comment

There are government subsidies available to buy homes in certain parts of Buffalo. The millennials are buying there because it’s cheap. College graduated millennials have a lot of debt and millennials in general are cash poor.
So to turn Buffalo around you have to replace the industries that were lost. Elon Musk built a large plant there but we will see where that goes. If all those move ins can start and run productive businesses then great but it will take ten years to see how that is going.
Meanwhile the economic engine of the US has migrated down south. People are leaving New York because of high taxes and over regulation. You have businesses leaving California as well.
New York really isn’t the go to place for anything anymore. It’s a has been. Buffalo’s hey day was 100 years ago.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

You may say that but New York is still first or second highest state for GDP per capita.

Based on what? Where? What are the statistics?
No, you don't. Elon Musk didn't build anything, he inherited the plant from taking over Solar City after they got massive subsidies to build a plant and bring high wage jobs in, which is mixed and uncertain at best. Buffalo's future is as a medical and technology corridor, and as a university/research town. Technology is how you build now, not by trying to recreate the past. Although industries are moving back slowly, because you have a motivated, relatively educated workforce with a work ethic...So to turn Buffalo around you have to replace the industries that were lost. Elon Musk built a large plant there but we will see where that goes. If all those move ins can start and run productive businesses then great but it will take ten years to see how that is going.
Largely an outdated myth from the 70's-90's. Some-places have low taxes, but the shitty infrastructure that comes with it...Meanwhile the economic engine of the US has migrated down south.

Yeah, I guess we'll take our massive infusion of cash to the economy and red state welfare states and go home now...New York really isn’t the go to place for anything anymore. It’s a has been. Buffalo’s hey day was 100 years ago.Comment
