OT: Pretty funny. Top 10 trashiest places to live in NYS

[cliftonparksufan]

I've lived or worked or visited most of these cities and can understand how they would be considered for this list. Amazing that Utica gets no respect but it is what it is. I thought Auburn was making a revival.

If Fulton was larger, I could see that making the top of the list.

Is Fulton still the city of the future?

EDIT: Are they including the surrounding towns of the places they chose? If so, I would rank Cortland much higher (or is it lower?) on this list.

Amazing that they left off the entirety of Staten Island.

Yeah. As bad as it was when I was a kid, the loss of jobs there has made it that much worse.

Auburn downtown has made massive improvements

However that's not necessarily the case for a growing segment of the populace

I could see a number of Oswego county communities get a big boost from Micron. Tons of people used to commute to Syracuse to work for Chrysler, Carrier, GM, etc.

Utica is well under appreciated for its native foods - it should be seen as a place for foodies but I don’t see much effort to market it as such. Some folks don’t know what they’ve got and how special it is

I like Buffalo and Utica just fine.

I probably wouldn’t like the douche bag who put the list together.

 

[Cusefan0307]

I grew up near Gloversville. Lots of meth.

 

[rocklloyd]

I think the construct of the entire list is dumb.

 

[Tango32]

Yeah not sure how fulton and malone aren't on this list

Gloversville is the most depressing city I’ve visited in all of NY. So many empty buildings and run-down houses. It’s such a shame as I know it was a thriving city at some point in time

Yeah im not sure their measure but the Bronx needs to be here too.

As a native Fultonian, I object to most of the commentary in this thread.

I can smell the Vineyard Vines on him from here.

Carbondale Pennsylvania makes all these places look like a Monet painting.

The city that amazes me the most is Amsterdam. What a dump, but there has been a huge influx of distribution centers where a lot of people must work and get paid somewhat decent for a dumpy town. They must, otherwise how can a town of 18,000 people, plus of course the surrounding areas, including Gloversville, Johnstown, Fonda, Futonville, support so many retailers such as Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart, Target, Tractor Supply, Kohls, Marshall's.

Hey, I dated a girl from Carbondale when I was in college.

 

[Bayside44]

Holy crap that was awful.

All of NYS is great but towns close to the PA border don't feel like you're in NY even the part close to NYC.

This was written in 2017 by a random person without any credibility that I'm not 100% sure is real.

It's pure click bait. These are basically going to be AI-generated articles from now on just to get reactions like this.

Also, that web site and the original one that it aggregated from are terrible for the well-being of your phone or computer that you are browsing them on.

Just let stuff like this go, I'm begging you all.

Sylvan Beach has to be on that list doesn't it?? It was a fun place to drink as a kid but even I called it The White Trash Riviera, and I was total white trash lol

Man, haven't been to Sylvan in ages. I remember it fondly... maybe I shouldn't?
