>>2162990Same is happening in the Finger Lakes region, North Country, and larger upstate cities. Downstate parasites are flooding into those areas, driving up home prices, and increasing traffic on roads and in parks.
The Southern Tier is mostly spared because people from NYC and LI know they'll never feel welcomed or comfortable in the ultra-conservative rural counties that border Pennsylvania.
I won't even hike in places frequented by downstaters, like Lake George and the Catskills, and wish people from the Big Shitty would stay out of upstate altogether. Can't stand their accents or their attitudes.
