Not all of New York state is like "Noo Yawk" !
« on: September 06, 2021, 04:40:10 PM »
.
  As I have been saying for years, western New York is different country from that asphalt jungle down in the
 southeast corner. That is a foreign city nearly 400 miles away.

  My home county recently voted our county a "Constitutional sanctuary" county.  Noting the recent encroachments, our county legislators voted to do all legal means to maintain constitutional freedoms for all it's residents..naming the county a "constitutional Sanctuary" county, protecting ALL constitutional rights of it's residents, beginning with but not limited to, 2nd amendment rights.

  A 17 member legislature, has one Democrat member...but the vote was unanimous.

I agree IG. Without NY city. NY becomes a different state.  The same can be said of Pa. Take the two cesspools out of Pa, Philly and Pittsburgh, and Pa becomes a a much more conservative state.

Interesting. I have homes in both places - NYC (Brooklyn) and rural PA (Sweet Valley). I am happy in either place. There are obviously differences….In PA, if I want to do anything like shopping for food, buying gas, going to the range…I have to drive at least six miles. In Brooklyn, all of that is a short walk. I can fish the stream behind my house in PA for native trout. I can hit the Atlantic beaches for Stripers and Blues in the surf along Brooklyn’s ocean coast. I can hunt for ruffed grouse and pheasant up on North Mt in PA. I cant do that in Brooklyn. There are places in NYC that I don’t go…..too iffy. There are questionable places and people down some of the rural lanes in the Woodlands of PA. Meth busts are not unheard of.
Good and bad can be found just about anywhere.
I have room in PA….a full wood shop. In Brooklyn, I have less space so no shop, just hand tools and wood carving. I have two reloading benches in PA….lots of room. In Brooklyn, it is all in a closet. Differences, not deal breakers.

Not sure how one can be happy in both a city like NYC, and open space in Pa. I was born and raised in the peace and quiet, and I could never live in a city.  The crime rate is much higher in cities than anywhere in the country. Plus the fact in cities you are more apt to not have near as much liberty.  Why is it that cities in a state normally always carry the vote, and a leftist democratic one at that. Take Pa for instance.  Philly and Pittsburgh have a combined population of roughly 2 million.  Pa's population has around 13 million people. Without the vote from Philly and Pittsburgh. Pa would be a very conservative voting state. The same could be said for other states with big cities like NY.  Ever look at a map county by county for voting. A very large majority of the country is red, with blue areas localized around big cities.
I believe this was where IG was going with this thread.

Trot out the representative Map for the full force and effect:





But when you are subjected to a steady stream of NYC as displaced Snow Birds in this Melting Pot State, I decided long ago that when I got really old I was going to move up North and drive slow...

My relocated wife and her family are from Upstate NY.  Even THEY talk about the NY City people with disdain.  She heard FL folks talking bad bout the disrespectful people from "NY" (thinking collectively ALL of NY State) and, at first, took offense.  When she saw it and experienced it in FL for herself (i.e. rude, me-first, better-than-you [Bless Their Hearts], the way we did it up North, driving S L O W, and all of their Big s-hole City carp), she GOT IT/GETS IT.  And the Upstate in NY is BEAUTIFUL and its people are nice.

   Of course, painting everyone in NYC with a broad brush, isn't quite fair either.  I'm sure there must be some reasonable people dwelling there also.  ..Not very many..but some.
 
  to back that up, DG seems to be a very congenial, and reasonable man..but what is the percentage?

         As Land_Owner seems to imply..the people who come from that city, seem to look at their town, as if it
 were the navel of the world....the place where everything good originates.  The map he shared was very accurate

  However, many of us would rather give it's location...as just a few inches lower and on the posterior side of the body.

  Folks from the south, need not feel put upon by the snowbirds from that "Babylon-by-the-Sea", since that attitude  of superiority is often shed upon we in upstate, in the same manner.

   there are about 3-4 other large cities in the state, and they have for the most part, swallowed the leftist line, but they don't seem to carry a chip on their shoulder as big as a wedge of New York cheddar cheese.

  Best way I can put it, look at a map of NY, and see an all red map...with 5 blue dots on it ! 

    ..But unfortunately for the rest of us in the state, well over half the population lives in those blue dots.

  I am just as pleased if they stay in those blue dots...but the painful part is, they also vote !

   Here's a local congressman's FB site, you can see by the replies how many NYers feel about the subject.

I understand about NY. We have the same situation in NM.
