Yes, We're Open

"Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle."
- Abraham Lincoln

There is no better time than now.

This city should be doing everything in it's power to voice to the nation that we are ready to welcome all who desire a new... affordable... place to call home.

It's OK if you left for a promise of higher paying jobs and warmer weather. If you're a former Buffalonian... we're waiting with open arms. We don't blame you for leaving. It's OK.

Never been to Buffalo? It's OK. Let me tell you a little about our fair city.

We have great weather... believe it or not. Our summers are some of the best in the Northeast.
Don't believe me... well believe the facts. The snow is not really that bad. Besides... we don't require you to purchase snow insurance.

We have lots of homes ready and waiting... on the cheap too! Buffalo has one of the lowest median home prices, for a metropolitan area, in the county. If you're coming to visit, check out all of our new upscale downtown living. That may be more of what you're used to.

Check this out... most of the time you'll be able to get to work in under 20 minutes! Just think of the money you'll save in gas! Besides, you're probably paying more now than you would here.

Tired of conserving water? Look no further! We've got lots of it here! Feel free to hose down your driveway... let you're sprinkler run for hours! Oh... and it's cheap also!

Buffalo... your time is now.

So where do we start?

Viral videos. Websites. Full page newspaper ads throughout the country.

Is it beneath a city to employ tactics that major companies use, most often successfully, to draw consumers to their product? I don't think it should be.

Come on Buffalo... let's get creative!

I'm just getting the hint now. Moving to Buffalo, BACK TO WNY, swimming against the tide of the exodus, and couldn't be more excited.
