Where the Urban Dream Life Is Going Cheap
i am not moving to buffalo
no way no how
This is interesting for me, both as a perpetrator of that “couldn’t cut it” attitude toward suburban flight (which is admittedly less hardcore over here on the left coast but nonetheless, a snobbery that exists alive and well in San Francisco too) and someone who has gazed longingly at upstate New York with drooly bohemian antiquarian eyes. Such a stock of historic buildings! Such vacancy rates! So undervalued! It’s not the personal space I crave but the smorgasbord of antique elements. Still, the likelihood of actual relocation is - how you say? - non. Le sigh.
Also, I am totally crushed out on lookmom.
