Just to play devils advocate a bit here. Unemployment is down and wages are up in most areas. This is a national trend not a Syracuse trend. Regarding the 73% of millennials moving into the city. Syracuse was really late to the game as far as building residential units in downtown. Most cities started building out the downtown residential units well before Syracuse started to. Of those people moving into the city of Syracuse, lets be honest, how many are from somewhere outside of a 1 hour radius of dt Syracuse? I'd be willing to bet that not many are. What this statistic shows me is that millennials are choosing to live in downtown Syracuse as opposed to say Liverpool or Cicero as they have more entertainment options in the city.

The job market there is still very tough for recent college grads unlike in many other areas of the country. Not a great amount of big companies up there actively recruiting large numbers of students to fill good paying open roles when they graduate. Yes Syracuse and Upstate NY in general has been able to slow down the brain drain from the early 2000's levels, but it still exports many college educated people to other regions of the country.

Weather was never an issue for me although it would become depressing when it was still snowing in April.
