I'm not into ranking places to live b/c I think everyone has different priorities but I don't really think it's a matter of marketing. I like upstate. I don't LOVE upstate, but maybe that's just me. I like, but don't LOVE DC too. But I left for two reasons -- jobs and weather. DC is no San Diego, weather-wise. We had a brutally wet spring last year and and really rainy year altogether the past couple years (this year has actually been beautiful, thus far). But the eight weeks or so from say mid-March to mid-May are just shockingly different. Every time I talk to my parents it's 38 and spitting rain (I know it's warmed up now) and I literally feel bad going, "oh, yeah, it's 66 and sunny, but I'm sure it will warm up soon!!" CNY in particular is really dark it seems like. Just feel like I get twice as many sunny days here for whatever reason.

And then jobs -- It seems like Buffalo and Rochester are doing better but for most college grads you're sent scurrying elsewhere to find jobs. That hurts in a lot of ways.

But, for me, I like upstate a lot, but I found myself dying laughing at that song. I really don't think people should derive too much value from where they live (especially when so many people would switch places with you in a heartbeat if they're stuck in some brutal section of a city in the US or some war-torn or drug cartel infested country in the rest of the world).
