City should get out of the farmers' way - Buffalo News

17.04.09

The way the city is acting, you would think developers are flocking to the East Side with blueprints in one hand and bags of money in the other.

The way the city is holding back, you would think offers were pouring in for the vast, vacant stretches of open land scarring the inner city.

The way the city is treating Mark and Janice Stevens, you would think Buffalo is rolling in prosperity instead of mired in poverty.

Mayor Byron Brown ought to be happy that the Stevenses want to buy land in a neighborhood that looks as bleak as Baghdad. Instead of welcoming the Stevenses with a brass band, the city has turned its back on a logical development in a neighborhood woefully lacking in development.

Mark and Janice Stevens, transplants from rural Wyoming County, want to buy and turn an open stretch of Wilson Street into urban farmland. It is a growing movement in cities across the country. The two-acre plot, bigger than a football field, is near the Broadway Market and behind the Stevens’ Fillmore Avenue home.

How is living in the rural areas of Dakotas,Wyoming,Idaho,MT ? Farming,and what else ?? good,bad, etc ?

Aug 07, 2007 by shiningStar | Posted in Other - United States

any advice in particular for a person interested in moving to one of those states ?

I can give you some input on Wyoming and South Dakota.

Most of the industry is related to agriculture and ranching. And depending on what areas, tourism.

Will find most of the towns to have a population well under ten thousand. And towns can be far between. Not unusual to have a distance over fifty miles between them

Crime is relatively low. Will find most residents to be very friendly. Social activities are rather limited though.

Winters seem to come early and stay late. Heavy snows are not uncommon. And low temperatures can easily reach thirty below at night.

You will find the air to be smog free. And the nights so clear you think you can actually reach up and touch the stars.

Rainfall is rather sparse. Not uncommon to get less that a foot during the year in some places. Thus for agriculture irrigation is a common practice.

I lived in Wyoming and Colorado for several years. And not far from western South Dakota. And actually enjoyed it very much.

Dems Subsidize Farms. Why are Dems Angry that Bush Helps Texas & Wyoming with Oil Prices?

May 18, 2008 by Joe | Posted in Politics

Isn't that hypocritical of the Dems?

My uncle suffered in the Texas oil industry for years with low oil prices --- even during Reagan years. What's wrong with a president looking out for voters just like the Dems look out for farmers and unions who support them?
The silence is deafening.

<cricket... cricket... cricket....>

If you think you're going to find many people on this forum who will defend Bush at ALL, you've got something else coming, m'dear! Besides, people aren't exactly enthusiastically DEFENDING ANYONE who is even ACCUSED of helping "support" the high price of gasoline... PERIOD.

I live in Wyoming, and trust me, Wyoming is NOT "benefitting" from the high price of gas. We are suffering along with all the rest of the state. Our oil is not easily extracted oil any longer. That "easy oil" is mostly gone now. Our oil is "expensive" oil, and one that takes a long time to obtain, and a long process. It means the price of oil must remain high and for a long period of time, to make it profitable to extract Wyo's oil. We aren't benefitting from it, and Bush isn't helping it. Besides, Bush cannot manipulate the price of oil... it is simply not in his power to do so. If it were in the power of the POTUS, don't you think that previous presidents would have done so... i.e. CARTER?


Have a right-wing day.
