Oh get over yourself, I lived in NYC for 16 years and was thrilled to move back home to Buffalo. I met the love of my life, I can spend time with my extended family, live in a beautiful garden apartment in an historic neighborhood, am actually FRIENDS with my landlord, I am an active member of my community and have more friends and neighbors than i can count-and dont have to make 100k a year to live like the resident of a Taiwanese tenement. When I miss the atmosphere and accomodations of a world class city, I am less than two hours a way from Toronto. (Now there’s a civilized city!)
I have not been mugged, and love the fact that I never smell the over powering stench of hot rubbish in the summer. . . and I dont have to pay tens of thousands of dollars, and waste dozens of hours to have access to the beach. Please dont start on the water quality of Lake Erie, I got a horrible skin infection just from entering the water off Coney Island. Obviously you’ve taken Manhatten by storm if you’ve resorted to this cock-a-maimee scheme to make money- now thats really pathetic.
You’ve moved, you’re happy, give it a rest. And if New York chews you up and spits you out, please don’t come home. By your own account it took too long to get rid of you in the first place.

i hate buffalo. & i’m not joking, nor do i require $10 to vent it. i’m a student, & since i’m not a well-off student, i’m here for my undergrad. why do i hate buffalo? 1) UB breeds mediocrity; 2) tyranny of a small town, i.e. if one doesn’t adopt the habitual small town congeniality when seeing an acquaintance every time one walks down the street, then one is deemed as an “snob, elitist, b***h…”; 3) god forbid if one happens to be an introvert, or solitary, or private, or withdrawn, or even depressed… the natives get restless & mutter amongst themselves “who does she think she is anyways?!”; 4) there’s an endless supply of creepy old men that prey on young women in allentown; 5) buffalonians seem to prefer the homogenization of individuals so that that everyone is “equal”; 6) the cops are corrupt; 7) per capita, the crime in increasing;
not even vincent gallo likes buffalo, & he’s a native; 9) there lacks any decent pizza, clothing boutiques, mexican restaurant, intelligent nightlife, diverse culture…; & 10) the natives all seem to have a tinge of bitterness, foulness, & hopelessness.
August 24th, 2008 at 12:25 am
haha very funny sue i agree with you on that…..i am a student at ub and i do agree buffalo sucks in general..absolutely nothing to do and the crime rate against student are staggering. buffalonian are so retarded that they would want to target students rather than a non student with a profession and for some reason the 50+ men always try to hit on the wayyyyy younger girls…jobs have horrible pay, their pizza definitely is tasteless and extra greasy, groceries are ridiculously expensive and everyone just isn’t pleasant in anyway
October 9th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
ive been stuck here for two years (military). this place is a piece of shit. about 1/10th of the people ive met are decent the rest are cocky b*tches and f*cking a*sholes. the only thing ive enjoyed are the bars on chippiwa or however the f*ck you spell it. EVEN those bars are a piece of shit. Seriously if your not single and you are going to a bar to dance drink and have fun dont bring your f*cking boyfriends? OTHER THEN THAT. what the hell is there to do? go to canada and spend a shit load on money on strip clubs expensive alcohol and wendys that charges up the a*s? this place is boring, most of the people are shit, half the cops are hiding and asleep and when they do come out they like to f*ck people over with tickets rather then looking out and lowering the crime rate in areas that need it. look at that sh*t. its just a long run on sentence. this place is awful and the people make it worse.
October 27th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
i love buffalo. and the people. wee!
December 31st, 2008 at 12:13 pm
1. Those girls are angry because the old men are ignoring them.
2. The pizza is good; not great.
3. Study harder so you don’t feel so mediocre. You get what you pay for …
4. People are unpleasant to you probably because you’re unpleasant.
Smile … Buffalo loves you.

I love how everybody on the tubes loves to bash Buffalo but nobody ever actually gives the real reason why Buffalo sucks so bad.
So I will:
NYC and Albany. They’re bleeding this place dry, why the hell do you think the tax rates are so high? Because Buffalo spends so much money? There is no end to their stupidity and greed and I wish we could just secede from their bullshit circle jerk already.
Buffalo does suck for young people looking for hype scene bullshit, of course. If all you want to do is go out to bars and pretend you’re a superstar then surely it isn’t worth your precious time. But if you have a family and you want them to actually be able to go to a decent school that isn’t loaded with bums, crackheads and pill popping scumbags then this place has its advantages.
But like I said, if you wanna be a wannabe then its not for you, and you should, by all means, head to some overpriced hype scene shithole so you can get mugged outside you $1500.00 a month hostel looking studio apartment. If you want a decent public or private education, if you want a stable real estate market or if you want a reasonable cost of living and an old school home town environment then this place is for you.
If you want to be a fresh superstar and screw somebody different every night then stay away from here. To be honest, I wish all the orange skinned oompa-loompa looking morons from Long island would stay the hell away from here, along with all the asshole douchebags from NYC that are all attitude and no personality. I know you think you’re the freshest of the fresh because you come from the greatest city on earth and have decided to grace us with you magical presence but you know what? YOU AIN’T SHIT, otherwise you wouldn’t be here. I also wish all the Midwestern cornballs with no personality would stay the hell out too, go back to your mega-malls okay?
Buffalo has been screwed over 3 ways from Sunday by loser politicians for decades, but there are things here that can’t be found elsewhere. And given that the US economy is in free-fall and all these formerly marvelous places to live with their 1 million dolla McManisions are now laid to waste because people actually got wise to how much of a scam it all was what do you think is going to happen here? People are going to start to come here because they can’t afford their ARM mortgages and their Lexus SUVs anymore.
Jobs are scarce here, that’s a fact, but the reasons for it do not lie with the bunch of dumb Pollocks that run City Hall. They’re bad, but they’re not as bad as the human scum from Albany that keeps this place in hock. Don’t believe me? Then do some research. Its going to take a seismic shift to get this place competitive again, but that may have just happened this year. It was called the housing bust.

How about Cleeveland. I like Cleveland. Does anybody like Cleveland ? …
March 19th, 2009 at 1:30 am
I agree. Buffalo DOES in fact suck, and its shitty suburbs are no better. I live in the Oklahoma City area now and I have to say, there are TONS of jobs here, and I love having 85 degree days in the middle of Winter. Y’all can hold off on the tornado jokes cuz most people that live here have never even seen one, we just hear about it on the news.
I will never move back to Buffalo, main reasons are: shitty weather for 7 months out of the year, HIGH TAXES (thanks to new york state), and lack of jobs.
BTW, the area im in now is #6 in the nation as fars as growth is concerned and theyre constantly putting up new buildings and growing at an amazing pace, its as if i’m Witnessing the birth of a future Metropolis.

A “Buffalo Sucks” forum! What a novel idea!
I’m a transplant from Buffalo living now in the sunny Bay Area of California, a vastly superior area brimming with social and economic opportunities and countless outdoor activities year-round. Beyond the lousy weather that the city has long become notorious for, the perpetually depressed economy, the glaring lack of exciting activity prospects, and the laughably bad professional sports franchises the locals care far too much about, I feel Buffalo “sucks” basically because a substantial portion of the city’s residents “suck”: many are antisocial, nasty, and all-in-all contemptible. Is it any wonder then, that during my childhood, many of my peers were punks, goons, and in general antagonistic problem children, even supposedly in a “good” suburban school district?
All in all, the city itself has very few redeeming qualities, and its proximity to Canada and high-calorie gastronomic fare are nothing to write home about. Definitely not home in Buffalo, anyway. I haven’t been back to visit in nearly a decade and a half and intend to keep things that way.
April 9th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
Still going!
June 3rd, 2009 at 9:49 am
I can’t wait to leave
The physical area of Buffalo is great. The nature, and the architecture, and the natural wonders. But the city is dead. All the normal people have left. I my self am leaving. F NYC, and F NYS. They are the reason why this place blows. I wish we could be our own state, and then I would move back, till then F Buffalo, or as it should be known the Shity of Buffalo.
Can you believe that in the 1940’s people actually wanted to move here, it was a getaway for the rich folk (hence the mansions on delaware). Now its a toilet for crooked politicians, toxic waste, and crackheads.
June 16th, 2009 at 9:12 am
Buffalo sucks. Everyone here is completely artificial and fake. The parents raise their kids to be ignorant trolls. Most people here are indeed “unpleasant” to say the very least. The Cops are not only corrupt but generally assholes with too much time on their hands. They aren’t even trying to fix the problems anymore so they’re going to expand the medical industry, as if they even need it.
Just being born here was a mistake. Living here puts you at such a disadvantage. I’m 25 and I’m telling you it’s freaking difficult if you strive against conformity at all. You just stay in your group and that’s it, you don’t converse at all with anyone.
The worst part is all these people defending buffalo like it’s some great place to live. They make up all these lies because they don’t want to accept the consequences of somebody else’s failure. It’s not their fault but they just don’t know what to do about it so they look away. There are some wealthy people here and watching them live their perfect lives will sincerely make you feel like shit.
There are a lot of crackheads everywhere here too, both city and suburb. The whole place is 1 big pile of phlegm except for the gated communities and wealthy neighborhoods.
This place will seriously make you want to off yourself if you stay here long enough. The people here are HORRIBLE!!! And I say that as a Native, I grew up here, the people I grew up with were terrible people.
Everything about this place is a horror story.
Stay OUT of Buffalo!
If you live in Buffalo, Leave! I am.
P.S. It’s not the snow, it’s the freakin’ WIND! I hate this freakin’ wind!
July 8th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
Yes indeed, Buffalo sucks. Why? Because the people who live there are so defensive about it that it makes them sound ignorant. How about this reasonable answer? Yes, Buffalo, like any smaller city in the US has it’s limitations but it suits those with a desire for a lifestyle with a more small town atmosphere. That sounds reasonable. I grew up in Buffalo and because I cared for neither hockey or football, I plotted my escape from about age 10 on. Honestly, friends of mine who still live in Buffalo were never particularly adventurous folk interested in another lifestyle to begin with. They tend to be afraid of other ways of life and seek he familiar. Most people I know who have moved back have done so because they have not been successful in larger city markets. It’s also very conformist town. Their defensiveness is part of a “love of or leave us” school of thinking. If you l;ive in Buffalo you better damn love it or they will eat you alive! To live in Buffalo you have to love it for friends, family and “same old, same old” because it’s mind numbingly boring otherwise. And I would never raise my children in a community that basically thrives on the idea that education and experience are not nearly as important as the ignorant attitude “Buffalo is the Best.” Very Sarah Palin-esque.
July 14th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
I can’t stand Buffalo. I’ve worked in the Buffalo area for 15 years. I have a bachelor’s degree and I never got anywhere until I was 36 years old. It just sucks rotten eggs. I take the bus and I can’t even find a place to go to the bathroom. Everthing shuts down at 5:30 pm. PATHETIC.
October 18th, 2009 at 1:46 am
Buffalo sucks!! How does it suck? Well, the weather sucks. The sun does not exist for 10 months of the year. The Great Lakes are nothing compared to the oceans. The food sucks. Everything is old and run-down. Of course, people say it’s “historic”. Philadelphia is historic. Buffalo just has old crap that they can’t afford to renovate. The women are ugly because all of the good ones went to better cities. Buffalo is in a constant state of poverty.
But the absolute worst part of it all, is that residents here actually defend Buffalo! I mean, they actually like living here. They are so friggin stupid that they actually delude themselves into liking it here. That is just pathetic. I leave in 8 months. And I will never come back to this sh*thole.
January 21st, 2010 at 1:44 pm
It’s not you its Buffalo. Wanted to get that out there.
Thank you everyone for the honest posts. I completely agree with the points being made. For some reason I was thinking about my experiences in Buffalo and wanted to find a website with people that shared my experience.
It was my experience that most people in Buffalo are alcoholics, racists, and perpetually whine about everything. Larger social structures sometimes have very subtle, undetected effects. When you are surrounded by a mentality it is often difficult to imagine a mentality outside of it. Thus the flocks of depressed alcoholics, racist frat guys, and those assholes on the police force (its true) that inhabit the city. I was very depressed in this city. When I graduated from UB and started grad school at Cornell, my entire life changed. If anyone is feeling my frustration, don’t feel bad about yourself, this is a natural process that many people experience in Buffalo. You’re not alone. If you want to stay in the city, I’d recommend searching very hard for a group of people that you feel comfortable with and don’t let the perpetual negativity that you experience weigh you down. I am personally very devoted to meditation, it helps to remove negative, destructive thoughts. Most importantly, look for people that you can share yourself with.
If there’s one thing I could say to myself from back then. It is that you are not alone. You’re not the only person who is longing for meaningful activities, people excited and passionate about their studies, who is offended by the constant racists jokes, who is tired of spending all their free time getting drunk, who is bothered by the poverty and people’s indifference and even hatred of it, and who feels completely out of place, who feels not only depressed but completely and totally insane.
Take care.

January 28th, 2010 at 12:05 pm
regarding sue’s comment on May 4th YOU ARE SO FREGGIN’ RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU SAID! AND YOU ARE ONLY A STUDENT. WHEN YOU GET DONE RUN AWAY LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT TRUST ME I CAME HERE FOR SCHOOL AND THIS SORRY ASS CITY AND BULL SHIT TRAPS YOU LIKE A DAMN ROACH MOTEL! I HATE IT HERE!
January 28th, 2010 at 12:34 pm
Buffalo does suck… and I am surprised to see so many natives agree! I am not from here and I guess those natives desireed or seen a vision to accomplish so much more then what Stiff-alo offers!
If you are not from here and you not here because of the housing affordability then you will never want to live here or stay here. The only reason I purchased a home here is so I could stop paying someone else’s mortgage.
Once you have experienced other cities and other mentalities from other places you too will indeed see that BUFFALO SUX!
There was a comment about “if you want to sleep w/ someone new every other night then this is not the place (Buffalo) for you” YEAH FREGGIN’ RIGHT!!!! that is the biggest lie and misconception you can tell anyone on this planet.
I am 35 years old female and I have not only experienced but witnessed sooooooo mmmmaaaaaannnnnyyyyyy men cheat on women… and women cheat on men…. I also have seen this carefree attitude that women are ok w/ men being with other women as long as they are the “main girl”…. what in the fudgee is that?
Everyone I grew up with in NYC is involved in long term relationships since I left there over 15 years ago. That is something that is unique to “Stiff-alo” Its a very selfish mentality!
And dont get me started on the judicial aspect of this sorry a*s town. All they do is steal babies from parent for the stupidest things. But if you a crack head or heroin addict they give you chances to get them back, but if the biological fathers come into the picture after not being involved for 2 -4 years they glorify them and transfer custody under the quise of “custodial interference” or “parental interference” This city sux ! I have worked in the county… so seen it from all aspects the racism, bigotry, intolerance to differences, etc. I have fell victim to all this….
Trust it is almost the end of the road for me and mine!

@CAN’T_WAIT I think you’re clinically insane.
January 30th, 2010 at 3:13 am
Lived in Buffalo for 17 years, then moved to Northfield, MN to attend St. Olaf College. Minnesota’s -10 degree days make Buffalo’s weather seem mild. Then I came back to Buffalo and attended Buffalo State for a year. While I was there, I was contemplating suicide. But, now I go to Portland State, and gosh I love the people out here in Oregon. I have had nothing but positive experiences with Oregonians.
And the liberals in Oregon actually care about reform: we have bike lanes everywhere-which is awesome! I have biked 1800 miles between September and the end of January.
Also, Portland has awesome mass transit. Lastly, the girls are very attractive and dress in beautiful jeans and leather boots.
I love Portland!
February 22nd, 2010 at 4:21 pm
I have to agree that Buffalo sucks!!!!. After college in Tampa, FL I returned to this miserable state (and city). The weather sucks, (8months of winter), the politicians are corrupt and the people are generally overweight and ugly. The last straw…. I just returned from a western carribean cruise to the lovely mid 20 degree crap and opened my mail box and guess what… the town/county just raised my property taxes again….third year in a row. Why do we pay so much to live in this depressing crap hole???
April 6th, 2010 at 3:54 pm
Let me say this, I first moved to Buffalo, from NYC, when I was 10 and it was miserable for me. The other children and teens here are so nasty and stuck up its ridiculous. When i finally mad friend, by 13, a year later I moved. I went to GA, which as i look back was great, and Delaware, another Buffalo. I wanted to come back because of friend. My mom moved back here to buffalo and now i wanna just leave. My friend turned out to be the fakest motherfuckers ever, teens here only care about who they fucking next, the people here are dumb, and the colleges suck!!
I am so happy June is close and i get to graduate because i cant be here no more, i am slowly losing myself!!!!!!!!
April 14th, 2010 at 7:29 pm
Who were the morons who named Buffalo one of the friendliest cities in the U.S. about ten years ago? The vast majority of people in this city are fucking assholes and bitches. I hope the Sabres get swept in the playoffs this year.
May 15th, 2010 at 4:17 pm
I was convinced to move here by a friend and have really really regretted it. I got laid off and my apt was sold in Brooklyn all in the same month. So after a year long stay where I grew up around Philadelphia I moved here with one of my coworkers from NYC who was originally from here. At first I was like cool new place and after having a year of nothing to do living with my family I was glad to be back in the party scene. Then reality hit.
There are no jobs, the weather sucks (I don’t care what anyone tells you about summers here), it never gets warm till June, it’s always WINDY, people are fucking scumbags here, the entire downtown consists of closed up storefronts and empty buildings. The politics here suck and I’m convinced are run by the mob. The Buffalo idea of improvement is building a Basspro shop?!! Who cares? How about stores like H&M, Trader Joes,Whole Foods, IKEA, something classy. This place has 0 class. Crooked rich people, ghetto scumbags, racists, and people who cannot think outside their own small little world are all that exist. In fact the little towns outside Buffalo seem to run Buffalo.
Nightlife consists of dumb college kids throwing up on themselves or meatheads who want to fight. Everyone is drunk 24-7 because there is absolutely nothing to do. No good bands ever come here. Someone mentioned people cheating on each other left and right. Yeah it’s totally true. One of the first things I was told when I moved here is everyone dates each other in friend groups you just have to wait your turn. Elmwood is a big joke. Crappy little trinket shops selling hippie crafts. In fact any art festival here is a bunch of amatuers hawking crappy arts and crafts.Oh and the sports teams fail just like the city. Bumblin Bills and Stumblin Sabres I’ve named them.
Jobs forget about having one here. I work for the newspaper and that’s slowly dying. Only reason I’m still there is it pays well, I’m in a union, and the part time schedule will allow me to go to school. Which as soon as I’m done I’m getting the hell out of here.
So let’s review:
Cold and depressing from November till middle of May.
Fuck all to do except be drunk
Crappy boring close minded people who are racist, drunk ,scummy or a rich snob.
No chance of improving EVER.
