:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Myopic view of what has happened to New York relative to the actions of extremism. You can endorse all the policies in that state and drag it around the entire USA and see how that works for our country. Who is deterred from crime? We could rob you blind, slowly and determinedly. No jail time for us, too bad for you. Does that give you a sense of peace and security?

I just hope they will keep their hands off the controls. If it didn’t work in NY. It probably won’t work here. “And we really don’t care how you did it up North.

I believe in an earlier post y7ou mentioned that you were a medical family. That, plus your knowledge of Baltimore makes me wonder if you attended Hopkins.

Left WNY for the Villages in 2021. We still have a newly built (2017) 2,400 sq foot home, 30x50 pole barn sitting on 98 acres near Chautauqua Lake that we rarely visit. Politics, taxes and weather were our driving factors to leave. Lucky for us that family likes to take care of our property to hunt, fish and ride ATV's. A team of Budweiser Clydesdales could not drag us back to that rotten state.

Example: I was out for a walk on a rather warm January day (about 30 degrees or so) just after a moderate snowfall. Sidewalks were plowed but the streets were not: they had about an inch of slush on them and as anyone knows who lives in such a climate, warm weather and slush-covered roads = slippery on steroids. I saw a car trying to go up a slight hill but had stopped about halfway, just sitting, rear tires spinning. I went over to see if I could help; the driver was a young woman actually in tears! She had called the police (who hadn't arrived yet) for help in getting up the hill. Her comment: "I'm from Florida! I don't know how to drive in this!" I told her to back down the hill and she looked at me sort of oddly, saying "but I want to go UP the hill". I explained that spinning the tires doesn't work: backing down, then working up some speed in a flat area and easing the car up the hill was the way to do it. She followed my advice and got up the hill with no problem. I hung around and explained it to the cops when they arrived. They got a good chuckle out of it. I can totally understand how people from crime-ridden areas develop survival skills to cope: expertise in hand-to-hand fighting, for example. Maybe getting a permit and carrying a pistol, hopefully after thoroughly learning how to use it. Areas of cities to avoid because of increased danger. How to deal with people in an assertive manner when those people are seen as possible predators or con artists. Things like that. Maybe some are useful here, maybe not. And we develop the skills needed here, whether or we realize it or not. |

That’s because people from the northeast, not just New York, come here and try to turn it into where they came from. I’m from Boston and I saw the same thing happen to southern New Hampshire. People moved there to get away from high taxes, high cost of living and politics that they don’t like. Nor southern NH is basically northern Massachusetts. It’s happening here as well. The south east corner of Florida has turned into New York City with palm trees.

I'm looking forward to coming down, but I can't yet. As far as attitude goes, let's just say that I needed to keep a poker face on November 9, 2016 and was doing a happy dance in my head while everyone around me looked like someone killed their dog...

But we have plenty of deaths, and accidents, and injuries. The emergency services folks earn their pay, for sure. Is that because of New Yorkers? Nope. It's because of old people. Should we ban old people, since they're costing everyone so much money and causing so many accidents and death and injury? I dunno - I don't mind them so much. Maybe New Yorkers aren't the problem though. Maybe it's old people. |
