I love Buffalo. Especially, when I have to tell my 7 y/o daughter not to stare at anyone while we drive down Bailey after dark. I think we could help fix crime if, we take away the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th children of people that procreate with ZERO means of providing for their progeny or fail a mandated “giveashitivity” test. Give those kids a shot at life and let them be raised by people with the means, or in military schools. Good kids or good soldiers… win/win. ---

The thing that keeps our crime/murder rate lower is shitty weather for half the year… Watch the news this spring after the first big thaw watch how many people get shot. ---

Not too surprised by this, I’ve lived in St. Louis for 4 years, and spent 21 years in Buffalo and I feel MUCH more safe in St. Louis. Each city has its own means of reporting violent crime, for example St. Louis considers rape violent crime, some cities don’t (which will pad the statistics) Crime can happen anywhere in any city, but I’ve noticed Buffalo its more widespread then other cities I’ve been to. Here in St. Louis we have a dividing line called Delmar, north of that is where the majority of the crime happens and is very easy to avoid. Theres no reason for the majority of people to go to that area. The rest of St. Louis is one of the most beautiful cities with dozens of unique neighborhoods and parks, Forest Park is bigger than Central park and much more to do. Its sad because STL and BUF were both world class cities, hosted the worlds fair almost right after one another, both hard working industrial towns at one point, and its sad to see how BUF didn’t evolve. We had a downfall of industry 10-20 years ago and the city fell apart. In the last 5 years I’ve noticed a 10 fold increase in revitalization projects, park investment, and urban development. We also have many professional corporate jobs in addition to the industrial jobs. Things get done here, we wanted a new bridge across the Mississippi, they started almost instantly and will be completed in a span of 2-3 years TOTAL! Nice to see that kind of progress… Oh and its nice to meet some WNY’ers here that left and call STL home like us. ---

Well you can’t order them online anymore and most of the local stores are out of stock… Maybe we can have a big gang war with one of the other shitty cities and the local news can hype the fuck out of it like they did the Sabres/Oilers battle of the shit teams game. ---

I really don’t care about all this. I live in a pretty dodgy part of the west side and I’m always on the east side both in the day and night. I’ve never felt unsafe or experienced any violence. unless you have dealings with “associates” that go south I find Buffalo to be a very safe city. ---
