Buffalo 2nd Best City To Relocate to w/ Buffalo Pro and Con & Citv vs. Burb Position!

Right, but equity isn’t a factor in cost of living. That’s another issue all together.

Mediocrity rules buffalo, just ask random people where a good place to eat is. It really blows my mind where people line up out the door to eat.

↑ Where is a good place to eat around here???

Whatever. If you are not getting equity it is costing you. Big picture.

Mediocrity in large quantities is the key. lol

…personally, I love it here…

Agreed. I’ve lived a lot of places. California, Texas, Utah, Tennessee. Moved back in 04, and likely won’t leave until either my parents are gone, or I retire.

Pay has nothing to do with Cost of Living. That’s a completely different argument all together. Cost of living is higher in NoVa, so of course the average pay is going to be higher.

I’ll say it again… taxes aren’t the only factor in CoL.

I said you can’t compare taxes. It’s a single element of the total CoL.

You know what you guys convinced me, I’m sure my limited anecdotal evidence, and the economists that actually determine the cost of living index are all wrong.

Pay has “nothing to do with cost of living”? Are you fucking kidding me???
You compare Albany to Buffalo when people are talking primarily about out of state taxation?
LOL. Just LOL.

I will pay over $400,000 in property taxes in the next 30 years on my house and will receive nothing in return at the end. If I purchased a more expensive home somewhere else and my monthly payment went towards equity instead of taxes I would be able to cash in after 30 years. Another thing is the lack of appreciation in WNY homes, that being said I guess you could say we were lucky when the bubble burst because it did not hit us so hard but bubbles are ultra rare.

You and one other guy mentioned that in this thread…this is a crucial difference. Pay towards your personal equity or towards government bloat…hrmmm tough decision.

I’m a firm believer in: cities are what you make of them and who you know.

I love Buffalo because at any moment, I can call someone up and do cool shit, because I know a lot of people…

I live in Spokane now, there is a ton of stuff to do outdoors, but I don’t know a lot of people so I find myself doing things by myself.

oh, and, I compared a $850k house in Orchard Park, which taxes were $41k a year, to a house in a comparative neighborhood in Spokane, the house was the same price, and taxes were $8k…

so yeah, FUCK NY taxes…

The initial comment was about cost of living. The majority of the tax comments came after.

Your all pretty smart guys, but I just can’t believe something that a simple economic term like Cost of Living is so difficult to grasp. Your right, pay does have something to do with it, where wages are higher the cost of living is higher. [COLOR=“Silver”]

So you live on a completely self sufficient compound that you never leave or any benefit of government spending? That’s pretty amazing. They don’t plow your road, maintain local infrastructure, no benefits of public safety or emergency services? You’re not deducting any of that against your federal taxes either? You can argue that there’s too much waste, but to say you get no return on it is just funny.

Ultimately, you choose to pay that much in taxes.
