A lot of people have done it. Maybe you've even tried it once or twice. You had one too many and instead of calling someone – a friend, your mom, your roommate – you got in the car and you drove home. You made it alive and without an arrest on your record and you swore it’d never happen again. But since you made it once, you know you’ll be tempted to try it again, except next time, maybe you won’t get so lucky.
It’s hard to make the right decision, especially if it in …
If you can't make fun of your own city from time to time, then you must live in one of those 'perfect' cities where... everything is perfect. If you don't live in one of those 'perfect' cities and you find that living in a city like Buffalo suits you better, I bet that you have a sense of humor regarding day-to-day quirkiness. There are times when you scratch your head and wonder what the heck is going on, right? Is UB still investing on a swamp in Amherst? Is someone paying off T …
In an 8-page response of the Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy regarding the Peace Bridge Expansion Project- Section 106 - Adverse Effect Finding, Olmsted attorney Arthur J. Giacalone has told the Public Bridge Authority that they haven't done a good job of the draft of their Environmental Impact Study (DEIS).

Why do these organizations always hold meetings during work hours? Why not try doing it after hours or on the weekend? It makes no sense!

Local government efforts such as this won't work anymore. These sort of "landlords" won't come forward if not forced to.
Stop thinking of whom the city is tring to sign up as "landlords". Landlords are already in the legal system as owners of three or more rental unit apartment buildings.
Today's real estate 'investors' who own one- and two-family houses escape the legal definition of landlords and are satisfied functioning within the present and deliberate form of rapidly widespreading 'houseownership' where the houseowners rake in dough in glorious, lowly-responsible anonymity!
What Buffalo and other cities and outside areas need to do is establish the difference between homeowners who are people who actually live in the home they own vs 'HOUSEOWNERS' who live and care elsewhere.
A HOUSE is only a house-for-rent. A HOME is where the heart (of a family) resides!!!
