#11 Buffalo, N.Y.

That's why I got out. The reason.

Five break-ins (one while I was home asleep), gunshots outside my living room on the sidewalk, and a man shot and killed through his car window next to me at a stop sign. That one was the clincher.

It's a shame. Downtown Buffalo is nicer than it's been in my lifetime, but the rest of the city is crumbling to dust around it.

Downtown does look better but the schools are a zoo and the cops are useless. Thanks anyway city life.
Williamsville NY is now home.

I’ve always read Amherst, NY, a suburb of Buffalo, is one of the best places to live in in America ( and one of the safest too).
