hey thanks Anon, hmmmm well "Mayor b" does have a nice ring to it.David, I would appoint you Commissioner of Agriculture.(kidding, kidding... you could be Czar of Midtown or something like that... and for sure I'd have you totally revamp the city web site for some real usability, interactivity, mapping, etc.) I wonder who else is running.

Great response! You should run for mayor. They need to recall and impeach Mayor Doolittle and his crew of city hall morons. What a mess. So So sad and disgusting this is what the children see as their Buffalo future. The driving force to do well in school and succeed would be to get out of the place. In almost any job if you cannot perform you are out. Buffalonians must be pleased with the "job"

Yeah, Bozo has no gameplan for this, just continuation of status quo, a relative few demolitions per year. I saw some complaints from him a few weeks ago that NYS paperwork was holding up a small bunch of demolitions City Hall had planned. Basically his approach is peeing in the ocean for all the impact it makes.So he's a big problem, but I maintain a bigger problem is absolutely no elected

This deteriorazizion did not just start happening last week. The problem has been ignored and accepted for so long that it is now outa control. Buffalonians act as tho they just woke up and noticed it. Hello! True u cannot erase past mistakes but whats the gameplan we hear from Bozo? The whole city will be bulldozed into a vacant lot so long as that clown stays in office. Who voted that moron in?

Along lines of what Anon wrote, it'd be great to hear some elected official, at least one, put forth a specific workable practical near-term plan to at least demolish one whole hopelessly decayed block of one hopelessly decayed street.Then next step would be to seek funding from the state to pay for it. There's a ton of bemoaning that goes on about decayed unboarded houses, with ongoing shock,

How can Buffalo residents sit around and casually discuss this mess of a street and not hold elected officials accountable for its being wide open and continued decline? If people that live in that city accept that their elected officials do nothing, than u deserve it. Surrounding streets the same? No wonder. The mayor needs to be thrown out of his office. Get someone with a vision.

Agree...the surrounding streets appear to be in similar shape - same hollowing out - especially along the Titus, Goodyear, Miller blocks between Empire and Sycamore...There are actually two cemeteries...Concordia sometimes shows up on the map and then there's Beth Jacob...a totally desecrated Jewish Cemetery, just to the north of Concordia...In October 2006 I visited Beth Jacob and compared it to

Little typo in your last paragraph ("Hertal").Wouldn't that block of Koons seem perfect for first attempt at a pilot project for landbanking, a.k.a smart shrinkage, kind of thing?- Very few, if any, residents wanting to stay.- Very little, if any, likelihood of blockwide rehab.- Icing on cake: As shown in your Google Map link, Koons is adjacent to open land of a cemetery so emptying that block it
