Unseen Buffalo: Helping the East side Catch Up

Our Government should invest in America's cities rather than sending billions to foreign countries. Build Buffalo!

I was born and raised in buffalo,walking distance from Fillmore st.I left in 77 after the blizzard and have not been back since.

Erica, are sure? Black Rock, East and South Buffalo have so many boarded up slums and abandoned building. Great Story. So many beautiful historic Churches and Buildings in Buffalo. Hopefully they can keep them open. I am concerned about the Broadway Market. That area is really bad.

I AGREE SPRUCE UP THE OLD STORE FRONTS TO START WITH, KEEP THEM ORIGINAL AND PRESERVE NOSTALGIA.

After the medical campus was built - the neighborhood improved. However when rents increased everyone cried gentrification 🙄.

Years later an buff still looked fucked up

5 years later: what's the verdict on the progress ?

It costs money to rebuild housing. The city has bought houses and has put 300,000 dollars into each one to rebuild them. But the city has had to take a loss in order to resell them to low income families for 70 to 80,000 thousand a piece.

I left Buffalo in 2005 raised on East Ferry around Fillmore and Humboldt Parkway went to School 59 from Kindergarten to 6th grade and Genesse Humboldt Junior high and Bennett High and the Ohio State University class of 78 worked at Dunlop Goodyear for 30 years have a home on Dutton and Delavan and one in Toledo Ohio hope Buffalo get it together especially on the East side it would be a shame to let those people down and that historic part of town and let the world know that unlike the caucasian man said about his dark age thinking of people should stay on their own side of town when will people like that learn it that type of backwards thinking is keeping Buffalo from being the success that needs to be

They don’t care about the poor & disenfranchised still to this day

West side gunn brought me here

Buffalo also suffered the "white flight" like Detroit?

Name me one city in the Western world which doesn’t have these disparities?

Sorry as a business tourist...Buffalo has some beautiful buildings and through CHEAP MONEY, there has been some investment downtown. However, a local told me this is kind of a facade: job growth is minimal and people arent flocking here )(even for the Roswell and MandT jobs)... there is so much visible blight. I like the city but lets face it...there aren't many people coming to live there who aren't locals.

Buffalo is a garbage can, and has been for a long time.

Wow

Damn a 133,000 ppl live in proverty an the city only has a lil over 200,000 ppl so sad

Ya they're going to take advantage of it alright Mr Mayor lmao.

When I lived in Buffalo I had to get a voucher to go to that pantry They should give the food in that pantry away for 🆓🆓 free the money for that food is not coming out of their pockets other pantries in Buffalo don't check expiration dates either I don't know how many times I have gone to pantry come home and see at least 3 or 4 things expired Not knocking pantry check expiration date

Yeah, you guys sound like Bills Fans. Any day now.
