I grew up in nearby Niagara Falls, which also got beat up in the 1970’s and later. But you’re right, western NY is midwestern, different from metro NYC where I live now. Niagara Falls, NY fell from 100,000 to 30,000.

@danzena4059 too many people there in Buffalo crime is high and being in public isn't good as a result of the newcomers. I believe Canada is what formed Buffalo and Western NY.

Lots of bad decisions by the city’s leaders destroyed commerce and communities. Putting the 33 right through a park which cut off a large segment of people, the construction of the skyway cutting off the waterfront, and the de-industrialization of the area made it a dying city. It’s doing better now, but the damage has been done. The good thing is Buffalo is home to some of the nicest people on the planet, and by far the best sports fans in the country. And that’s not even debatable.

But the city makes me feel lonely as someone who has spent his entire life in New York City. Gave off the vibes of a rundown midwestern city. And now I understand where that feeling comes from.

The building of a major piece of transport infrastructure killed the geographical advantage that was the reason for Buffalo to exist. The Great Lakes are an incredible economic asset. The cargo ships that would sail them in Buffalos' heyday were as large as those that plyed the world's oceans at the time. But those ships couldn't go any farther east than Buffalo. Until the building of the Saint Lawrence Seaway and the expansion of the Welland Canal enabled a ship leaving the port of Chicago to bypass Buffalo and sai directly to any other port in the world.

After WWII, the US had no competition because our competitors were bombed to hell due to the war. Once they dug out, competition came roaring in. Steele, autos, chemicals, etc. It was macroeconomic factors that lead to the rust belt. This happened suddenly starting in 1970. At least half of all manufacturing jobs were lost. The city lost 200,000 of its population.

We gained in the 2020 census. The city is slowly being turned around. The east side is still a mess, and crime could be better. But we're on the verge of turning around.

Buffalo in the 40's/50/ was highly segregated ( by choice ), and there was nothing wrong with that..IMHO.. when people began to leave the city for the suburbs, then the city took on a different look, and it wasn't pretty..
