Hometown News: NY Times Slams Buffalo

Here we go again: Buffalo has been named by the "New York Times" as one of America's failing cities. The report blames the decline, which it says started over 50 years ago, on diminishing industries and "suburban flight." The report says Buffalo's continued demolition of parks and streets in favor of expansion rather than preservation is the main factor in the city's continued downfall. Joining Buffalo on the list are New Orleans and Los Angeles. New York City's borough of The Bronx was also included on the list.
