what should upstaters do? wait for GE and Chevy to hire in Schenectady and Tonawanda again? as long as the economic fate of upstate is dictated by the whims of the City, there won't be any big new factory built, or anything that would bring any large number of jobs in. I mean the proof is in the pudding, anywhere I travel in south and west I meet people from upstate.

get that OUT of my face posted:immigrants are doing things that native-born americans refuse to do, like move to buffalo en masse no. I work in NYC when I go to the office once every couple weeks. I live upstate and have a huge new house on a ton of land surrounded by hundreds of acres of nature preserve and forever wild. I'm not the target of Trumps comments. lots of people who once had good jobs in factories might be listening though. his comments were indelicate but not wrong.

Grondoth posted:Parts of Buffalo are doing okay. All in all, it's doing well! If you were here years ago and someone showed you Canalside, you'd be blown the gently caress away. However, the growth has largely been focused around downtown, and it's obvious. I know that's nothing new to cities, but it's very disheartening to see so much improvement in some places and watch so many others languish. look at yesterday's Buffalo news there's a plan afoot to fix he scajaqueda where it goes through Delaware park. not I perfect fix but an improvement.

Matt Zerella posted:show your work please because if that was the case the MTA would be fully funded and modernized. why do downstaters keep electing downstaters to the governors office who turnaround and use the MTA as a slush fund? how is that an upstate driven issue? do you understand how Authorities work?

CaptainPsyko posted:No, Upstate just gave him the legislative conditions necessary to run roughshod over both chambers and consolidate power to his own ends. Why does NYC keep electing governors who screw the city? If NYC decided that they wanted some DSA candidate, not much upstate could do about it

Korthal posted:Buffalo built a $750m factory for Tesla to produce solar panels. The state owns the factory, but Tesla is only paying $1/year to lease it. It's widely thought that Tesla changed their mind about using the factory, as they haven't let anyone from the public inside of it since last autumn. This factory was supposed to be the crown jewel of Cuomo's START-UP NY project. I'm pretty sure everyone in Western NY has enough apathy to just not care about anything anymore. yeah that was a huge fleecing. empire zones are same. they paid Windstream millions of dollars to move from Karner rd in colonie to downtown Albany into an empire zone where they no longer had to pay taxes. as it was most of Windstream's revenue in this area came from the State of New York account. there was absolutely nothing to be gained by that except transferring money from NYS to Windstream. no new jobs or anything.

God help us, this is so dumb. it takes less than 5 minutes to drive or cab from the train station to the capital. the train I take back sometimes from Penn gets in at 440, right in the middle of rush hour, and it's never a problem, ever, not one single time in 22 years of doing this on a weekly basis, getting between there and downtown.
