Can't Cut It In Brooklyn? Try Buffalo.
Want a three-bedroom apartment on the park with front and back porches, an office and stained glass windows for $795? Try Buffalo. New York Magazine has the tale of a Brooklyn couple who decided to forsake their $1,300-a-month Sunset Park pad for bigger and better digs on New York State’s western frontier.

Want a three-bedroom apartment on the park with front and back porches, an office and stained glass windows for $795? Try Buffalo. New York Magazine has the tale of a Brooklyn couple who decided to forsake their $1,300-a-month Sunset Park pad for bigger and better digs on New York State’s western frontier. Several ex-New Yorkers wax philosophical about their post-NYC lives, too. I don’t miss my old life in New York,” one says. “I only miss the life in New York I know I never would have had.

setancre – you’ve been trying to sell that place for two-months now.
NYC still has reasonably-priced areas. I feel like so often people go from one extreme to another. Why is it people can only live in Park Slope or Buffalo? Why don’t more people look into Bay Ridge, Staten Island, Queens, etc.?
You can buy a humongous 6 bedroom Victorian with a big yard in Staten Island for $600k and you are paying very low property taxes relative to the rest of the tri-state area suburbs (and still using your $2 metrocard fare). It boggles my mind that people are unable to find the “in-between” areas like one below. There are tons of 3 and 4 bedroom houses in the $300k range in SI, and many 2-3 bedroom apts in Brooklyn under $400k.

People bashing Buffalo for it’s food have never had the delight that is a Zweigle’s white hot or a Rubino’s sub. If I could get a sandwich half as good here in Brooklyn, my life would be complete, I just know it.
I would also be 20 lbs heavier, so perhaps missing the Italian Select isn’t such a bad thing.
Hey Mr./Ms. What, you forgot to list the time Mr. Brownstoner accused the Mirrors Bar of harboring drug activity, and said the local police precinct “needs to check that place out.”
more tea sir – The DOWhat unwittingly contributes to the success of the site as people feel compelled to respond to his effluvia. His ego won’t let him stay away.
I hope bStoner bans Mr. What. Not cause of what he says, but how he says it. He’s disrespectful and should go.
ditto, sorry to hear that. Are you sure it had nothing to do with you downing a couple of buckets of Gennessee Cream Ale with your wings? I never had a bad experience at Duff’s. (“am The What Assholes!” is great, but I can’t keep up with all his personalities).
“I’m like the hood version of Hamas”
I’m sure members of Hamas are on GazaStripstoner.com interrupting real estate conversations with tales of economic doom and gloom.
I had food poisoning after Duffs’ Wings. There is some great industrial and early 20th century architecture in Buffalo. I like the old grain elevator down on the lake shore. And the huge disused railway terminus. (Buffalo central terminus?).
“I’m am The What Assholes!”
Does this mean his new name is “Am the what assholes”?
DOW-Twat–you are in my head in the same way that a booger or some ear-wax sometimes occupies various cavities in my head. You are waste material. Comical waste material perhaps, pathetic waste material for sure, lame juvenile waste material without question.
There is nothing else for you to say here. We get it–the economy sucks, the banking industry is on life support. Thanks for letting us know. If you actually cared about this you would figure out how to communicate your concerns in a way that other people could discuss and engage with. As it is your opinions are not worth any more than the snot I just blew out of my nose.
