Anyone here want to defend Utica or Watertown? How about Elmira or Niagara Falls?

I once dated an extremely hot woman from Gloversville. Way over my skis on that one.

Hmmm...I was born and raised in the suburbs of Utica. I now live near Albany. I can't argue with Utica being on there, but I am shocked that Rome isn't on there. Has it improved?

 

[Toga]

Umm Newburgh - hello??

 

[NailstheCusefan12]

There's no defending Elmira and I'm shocked it's not higher on the list. Driving in to go to Elbow Room, Moretti's, or Bernie Murray's is about all it's good for.

Played against Newburgh in the 2nd round of Pop Warner Regionals once. Seemed ghetto.

Not much love for the Mohawk Valley.

Without the South Bronx as #1 that list is a joke.

Random murder - check
Frequent muggings - check
Massive urban blight - check
Drugs - check
Prostitution - check
Mandatory kevlar vest - check

Had a lot of family/spent a decent amount of time in Gloversville, Johnstown, and Herkimer. Not surprised to see any of the three on there. The people I do know there are some of the best people I've met in my life though.

 

[OburgOrange]

I'd rather live in Watertown than Ogdensburg. No offense OburgCuse

 

[Orangello]

Salamanca
Gowanda
Machias
Cuba
Belfast

There's a lot of room to expand that list

I have friends and acquaintances from Herkimer, Gloversville, Oneida, Elmira and Johnstown. None of them live in those communities anymore. There is a reason. I am surprised at how high Newburgh is rated and the fact that Troy is not in the Top 50 has me scratching my head.

Troy is on the rebound. Lots of new developing going on.

That's what they were saying when I moved to the Capital District 35 years ago. We'll see.

All you need to know about this article is that the writer's best place to live are all on Long Island! If there is one place I never wanted to live it was Long Island.

"If you’re curious enough, here are the best places to live in New York, according to science.

1. Malverne (Pop. 8,522)
2. Plainview (Pop. 25,996)
3. Merrick (Pop. 21,222)
4. Woodmere (Pop. 17,215)
5. Syosset (Pop. 18,961)"

Total hole, agree 100% and you ain't getting me to drive in to frequent any of those dumps. Hate Elmira with a passion.

Long Island should be included as a whole with the worst with the mere fact that getting in and out of there is miserable. Queue up on the Throgs Neck or the Whitestone Bridge to hurry up and wait on the Cross Bronx Expy or 495. No thanks

Not sure which is a worse driving experience - that - or anywhere in northern Jersey.

No Rome to me got worse once they closed Griffiss AFB. So many places closed down and other places went down the tubes. It's too bad politics played a role in closing of the base and it should have stayed open. They have down some nice things with the base but overall Rome will never be the same again.

How did Oswego not make the list?

Cuba Lake is pretty nice though...

This reminds me of my first wife. Did you have a full yard sale like I did?

Rome is getting a computer chip plant that will dwarf the one in Malta......
