The Rochester area has the same retiree situation as Broome County. One can only wonder what will happen as those people age and die off.

People there are so used to stagnant real estate values and horrific property taxes that they don't see that they are being left behind economically.

Despite the taxes, there isn't money to keep the main library open weekends during the summer. Wouldn't want those poor kids off the streets reading, would we?

I miss back home, but don't see property ownership there as a wise decision.

The liberals. the taxes, the gun control, the gays, the immigrants, the insane home prices, the insurance costs, the regulations, why would anyone ever come here??? Why would anyone want to stay other than the illegals and wall streeters???
