Is Buffalo Dying?

Buffalo is on a list of 50 U.S. cities that Forbes Magazine has labeled the "fastest-dying." The survey is based on population decline, unemployment, and other factors. The Forbes article notes that in the early 1900s, Buffalo was one of America's 10 largest cities, but has been in decline ever since, despite a location that takes advantage of trade with Canada. Mayor Byron Brown takes issue with the listing.
