I’ve lived in seven states. I’m currently in Reno/Tahoe Nevada. Personally, I think living out west is better, but there is trash all over this country. Very few people save money, and the obesity, and mental health/addiction issues are severe. Some cities I’ve been people flock there from depressed places like upstate NY, or upper Michigan. They want to be there. I meet a lot of people in Nevada that are from someplace they hated and most people I meet want to be out here. Syracuse isn’t necessarily a destination, there is quite a bit of hopelessness in the area, and in upstate NY. But there is upside and potential. There are a lot of small towns that people are stuck because of their situation, choices, health, lack of opportunity ect. I feel like Syracuse has declined from the years I was a kid in the 1980s to where it is now. Population stats say it has as well. I think it’s a great place, and obviously it has the Orange. The greatest fans on the planet. That’s a common bond in the community that you just don’t see around the country. Upstate NY is unique because of it. Wanna talk trashy people, let’s talk Nova, or UConn fans.
