Nicely done again. I'm glad you guys were honest about the crime issue in Rochester because it's real. I lived the first thirty years of my life in my hometown of Rochester but moved away 35 years ago. It was pretty bad then in certain areas and my best friend who still my best friend and I were robbed at gunpoint downtown and it was pretty scary. My mother was robbed the same year at gunpoint working her job in a drugstore in the downtown area. I won't say it's exclusive to certain areas, but I think I could say that a large portion of the crime is in certain areas of the city and my family and friends that still live in the Rochester area know what those are and as with any big city, you use caution and common sense. I've seen certain videos like yours of Rochester and it makes it sound like Shangri-La, and they never mention any of the cons, so again, I'm glad you were honest about that. I feel two ways about Rochester, not that you asked LOL. I think Rochester sucks, and I love my hometown and there is much about it that I miss and that does have beautiful areas. The biggest bummer for me was the weather. I remember clearly leaving my job one night and it was in the middle of May, and my car was literally encased in ice and it took me an hour to get it drivable and took me about 2 hours to drive the few miles home. I said enough with this 💩! LOL, and moved to South Florida and I've been here ever since. But if I could afford it, I would definitely have my home here and a home in the Rochester area for the summers and early fall. I've always loved the Park Avenue area and though I've heard that has gotten a little sketchy too, I would still love to own a home there. Anyway, good job always enjoy your videos and hope I don't sound negative.
Am still waiting for the final decision of my PhD application from th Univ of Rochester. Hope I can make it. Very kind of you. Appreciate it. I'll let you know if I need your assistance in the future. @@LivingRochesterNYandFLX
People in Rochester use the winter ski slopes to socialize. Many Rochester couples, both of the spouses, are high level executives, both work for challenging, innovative companies or agencies. Even middle age women moving to Rochester happily discover the doors wide open to them, which is not the case in many other places. Perhaps this is due to Rochester's long, rich progressive history.
A “long, rich progressive history” sounds very much like a con, not a pro. I’m prior military, and I’m retired law enforcement. I live out in Suffolk County, Long Island. Although I’d like to remain in NY, and have recently considered places like Rochester or Webster, I find myself pretty much fed up with the property taxes, high electric and heating costs and how expensive in general NY has become. I’m also fed up with the politics. If you take a train ride into Manhattan, you notice it right away when conversing with the locals. They’re for the most part know it all pretentious democrats who don’t believe in hearing another person’s view, and it’s pretty much their way or the highway, no compromises. I’ve heard that cities upstate are even more liberal due to the lack of high paying jobs and the greater need for handouts. Yes, I’m sure there’s high paying jobs upstate, but only in specific sectors such as healthcare, law, and of course the self serving school teachers and college professors that are busy indoctrinating the young people and disseminate propaganda. This doesn’t leave much room for the regular blue collar working stiff. Other than the lower cost of housing, I don’t see anything attractive about Rochester, or for that matter upstate NY. The Governor of NY, Kathy Hochul, has managed to piss off many of the voters, including retired peace officers. You can keep your “progressive history,” which includes the constant degradation of the Bill of Rights which is suppose to protect the unenumerated rights of the people, the unyielding manipulation and distortion of truth and reality - techniques that were widely used by Socialists and Fascists alike - and of course the non-stop propaganda put forward by Newsday, The NY Times, the Daily News, Channel 12 News, Eyewitness News, etc. trying to convince people that Long Island, and the rest of NY, is the best place to live regardless of the ever increasing costs to ones pocket and state of mind. Remember the “Get Out Of NY Before It’s Too Late” guy? Maybe he was right. I think that now that I’m retired, it may be time to give New Hampshire, Tennessee, Florida, the south or any red state a shot. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. - Albert Einstein. Rs
I agree with pretty much everything you said here. My brother and I being Marines ourselves, recognize everything that you’ve mentioned and feel the same ways. Of course I don’t want to speak for Marcia, but I think her point is just that middle aged women feel more accepted in the the Rochester area. That said, I’d be interested to find a place where they aren’t accepted? Not really sure where that would be. You’re spot on with what you said and we would agree on many many things! I’m not sure I’m on board with the rich progressive history either which is why I choose to live in Canandaigua for my family and myself, but I suppose I’m glad that some people can find where they’re accepted
Thats definitely not us. People will be moving to Rochester regardless of politics, whether it be for work or leisure... We just want to help them in a smooth transition and make them feel at home. Personally, we are driven by values, we served in the Marine Corps and recognize whats happening in our country is intentional and is not good by any means, but that doesn't mean we cant help our neighbors. In fact, if we don't help someone simply because of political affiliation, we'd just be contributing to the problem.

Good job, guys
It would be interesting to know about job opportunities when it comes on the healthcare field in the Rochester area🧐
Democrats…good job trying to make a $. Rochester is not the place to live actually NY is not the place to live.
