It’s not just collegiate leftists. There’s is a lot of migration from Upstate’s major metros into smaller Upstate cities. Elmira, host city to two maximum security prisons, has had influx from Syracuse and Rochester. Not enough to stop the city’s population decline, but enough to cause other issues.
Somehow I doubt those are all college kids.
There not much retail in the Southern Tier, anymore.
Sad really.....Everyone in my hometown use to go to the city...and the mall there in Elmira. Not anymore.
I didn’t mean just the students. I meant professors, staff members, and assorted left wingers who gravitate toward jobs at places like Cornell and IC, make college towns uninhabitable via tax and spend, etc., and then decide to buy cheaper property in the surrounding areas, bringing their left-wing politics with them to those towns.
That is not correct. The horse and buggy ones refer to themselves as Amish. The Mennonites in that area actually will drive cars. I’ve had both as neighbors
The mall in Elmira is practically practically a ghost town now.
Corning, NY is a good example of that.
But Corning Community College had help.
It’s not just higher ed wanting to dismantle the police.
Experts say malls must evolve to survive
Evolve...
SNORT.
Read his bio and you’ll understand why he might be nuts, or, hope to someday be only nuts.
Absolutely spot on.
The only slight tweak I would suggest? Make the caller dial 1-900-911 so that the caller would be charged for the call.
How many times has this jerk been elected Mayor? Great place to imitate - state of Oregon...The peaceful place to be in 2020!
CITY OF ITHACA, NEW YORK!
Or: “For an unarmed community service response, press 1. For an armed response, press 2.” Let the idiotic idealists and Lefties in Ithaca try their scheme out first so that their failure will inform the rest of the country.
I saw the headline and knew I’d be seeing the City of Evil graphic!
Great, until the first “unarmed “community solution worker” gets killed!
Try this in Baltimore or Detroit to see if it works, not Ithaca.
I live in one of the towns surrounding/adjacent to Ithaca.
My Town of Enfield is serviced by the Tompkins County Sherriff’s Office or The New York State Police.
Since I live on a NYS Highway we usually get The State Police.
I don’t really care what The City of EVIL does.
ALL THINGS in Ithaca, affecting Cornell students, will end up being determinized by Cornell students PARENTS (who pay an absurd amount of money for their kids to attend Cornell).
If the police or the “community solution workers” fails to protect ONE Cornell student, getting drunk in downtown Ithaca, there will be HELL TO PAY!
Money talks, Woke bullshit walks.
“The Mennonites in that area actually will drive cars.”
ALL BLACK! (plain, ya know).
More commie infiltration stuff.
“The Mennonites in that area actually will drive cars.”
ALL BLACK! (plain, ya know).
Usta be SAABs
