>>1318462>its all the niggers faultIt's the fault of the death of the eerie canal -- that was the economic engine of the city and the rest of upstate NY. Once that was gone, of course the place will go to shit and halve in population in ~50 years.
That's the problem of all of upstate NY. Other than a handful of services and farming, there's really nothing out there that's turning any sort of profit, so people out there just sort of exist and get by, and the one's w/ talent move away.
It would be nice if industry came back to the area, but until the chinks/pajeets decide to strike for higher wages, or we come up with brand new industries, I don't see it happening.
Which is sad, because upstate can be pretty beautiful
