It looks very cold and bleak. There are several run down areas in Tucson, AZ near my neck of the desert, but the weather is desirable and the city is experiencing some growth.
Buffalo reminds me of North Omaha which is the most dangerous part of Omaha. 15 years of my life was spent about 20 minutes away from that section of Omaha, but I worked there for the majority of it. It seriously looks like the North 30th St corridor in North Omaha.
Spent 24 years of my life within a 50 to 60 mile radius of NYC, and it could easily resemble towns like: Bridgeport, Connecticut, New Haven, Connecticut, or East Orange, NJ.
Visited Buffalo once when I was an east coast resident and at the time, it felt like an entirely different universe from the metropolitan NYC area.
Great video Nick, once again!! You are about 380 miles from the NYC metropolitan area. Just take 90 East to Albany and then go south on Interstate 87 for another 3 hours and you will end up in the South Bronx.
Along the way, you can tour Rochester, another rust belt town, which saw a major decline after Eastman Kodak left. Albany, I heard is a little more pleasant and then there is Newburgh, NY which is further south and definitely not a place to walk around after dark. These days one is better off walking in Harlem than Newburgh, but do not quote me on that, because there has been an uptick in crime in NYC last year, and that tragedy in Morningside Park further corroborates that.
PS I have to watch that Toronto video.
