Rochester NY is another Upstate NY city which peaked in about 1955. The place has been in terminal decline since. The city is a mini-Detroit, full of derelict buildings and surrounded by government plantation ghettos.
Riots there will simply be equal to dismembering a corpse.
Sounds like when America herself peaked. We have been in decline for decades. People did not notice much of it at first as we started from such a lofty perch.
