Buffalos new Mayor a socialist!

So tell my boys what happened ?

At least Rochester got rid of our pos . Her “ estranged “ husband ( no papers filled and they live in the same house ) got caught in a seven month drug investigation. She defunded but more damage was done demoralizing the police , to the point we have running gun fights of 20-30 rounds , and executions, where multiple gunmen run up and unload on a person . No command staff no investigators , nobody wants the jobs, it’s war zone here . For the NYC fellas you’d need about 8,000 shot right now to match us per capita .

But the Dems primary here got a law and order one in at least .

So tell me wtf happened in Buff ?!

You get leaders that reflect the makeup of the city.  If your city is full of idiots, you get elected idiots.

I liked Jimmy Griffin the best.  Many years ago, after he was done as mayor, he was running for some higher office, possibly Erie county executive.  I have lived most of my life, on the edge of the tiniest village just outside of Buffalo, in Erie county's oldest town.  My family was among the earliest settlers here, long before the Civil war.  For a few years, Buffalo was actualy a suburb of our town.  Those positions reversed a couple centuries ago, when the Erie canal finally put Buffalo on the map.

After that, Buffalo enjoyed a heyday that lasted quite some time. It looks like that is all over now, and the surrounding area, including our town, is now where the real action is.

During his campaign, Jimmy stopped at the tavern in our village (it's only business now, other than our Lutheran church), and bought me a Genny cream ale.  He remains the only politician that I have ever met, besides an uncle who served as our town supervisor back in the 60's. 

I was a young kid, during the blizzard of 77, when Jimmy was on TV, and told folks to just grab a 6 pack and stay home.  They just dont make them like that anymore. Buffalo could use a mayor like that again. I am sure that he wouldn't have closed SBH to boat launching on opening weekend of bass season like the recently defeated mayor just did.

Hopefully, he learned his lesson and the incoming mayor will do a little better.  I never liked big cities, and the only time I have gone into that one is to launch my boat or when I have had free hockey tickets.

We are currently seeing a mass exodus from big cities across the state and country.  Covid has caused the city folks to wise up and vacate those hell holes.  That is why NY and Rochester have also descended into chaos, and why real estate values have skyrocketed out in the country.

About 550,000 population of Buff in late 60's, now about 250,000. Wouldn't be surprised if Sabres and Bills leave eventually. City circling around in the drain now. Sad. Idiots running the asylum's now.

I wonder if it has anything to do with Democrats being in charge for a long time.

Where are they going? Those maps that plot where people move from/to are pretty cool
