Assholes fucked up my last car and stole a really nice head unit. Ive heard countless stories of ppl getting homes broken into and lots of nice shit stolen. Hell, on christmas day, a co-worker of mine’s house got broken into. they stole xbox 360, nintendo wii, wallets, and even the kid’s car. the live near elmwood. now THAT is what i would be afraid of happening if i lived in the city of buffalo. Couldnt put any nice car audio eccuipment in ur car, cant a flashy tv near a window, etc, etc… and sadly enough, its insanely easy for these guys to get away with this shit.

Very true. The chances of getting murdered in the city for no reason are slim. But I like being able to wake up and know my car will be in my driveway and intact in the morning, not stolen/ransacked/dented/damaged. I like not having to worry about my house being broken into. I like walking around at night alone without fear of being robbed. That kind of stuff happens every day in every part of Buffalo. Nothing pisses me off more that having to go through a million steps to safeguard myself and the stuff I work hard for, because some waste of life wants to steal.

Plus I like the greenspace, lack of traffic, quiet, etc. I’ll probably move further out than Hamburg. I like visiting the city, but I would never live there. But to each his own, everyone has different tastes in where they want to call home.
