Bad winters.
Average-looking chicks.
Limited opportunities for work.
Oppressive gun laws.
Taxes! Taxes! Taxes!

What's not to ~~love~~ leave?

About the only good things I saw when I was there a few years ago were the High Falls and Dinosaur BBQ.

Really can't disagree, however I will say ...

Winter is what you make of it. I've been running for 33 years and my best runs have been in winter.
Employment in Rochester was a no brainer through the early-mid 90s.
Since then, Kodak, Xerox, printing industry have all faded to almost nothing. Tool and die still big here.
Guns laws, federal or state, are the same statewide, not just Roch.
Most suburban schools are some of the best in the country.
Rush hour "traffic jams" last 18 minutes. I grew up in NYC, I know traffic jams.
