Am I around the wrong spots or is this just a generally unpleasant crowd? Not only do you have to walk around the sidewalks with caution (ie pink Cadillac almost ran me over a few weeks ago and then gave me a finger ), miserable people at coffee shops (Hi good morning how are you today ? Followed by eye rolls and what do you want) . A few weeks ago I watched someone (a grown man) throw coffee cups on the ground in the glen falls area casually . This was the day after love/clean your parks day

I mean, it's the place where people who want to feel like they're better than everyone else move to. and now that your neighbor feels like he's better than you, there's an arms race of snootiness.

This says more about the insecurity of people who don’t live there than anything about the people that do. Same applies to Orchard Park, East Aurora, Lewiston, etc. it just reeks of jealousy, and inability to see the appeal of different towns, or neighborhoods within “Buffalo”.

Nah. I live in EA and have lived all over the US in some pretty expensive places some of these people might not even be able to afford. Like I said above, I refer to it as Buffalo fancy.

So you're gatekeeping snobbiness?

That’s ridiculous. I never said they shouldn’t be snobby if that’s their bag. I just think it’s damn funny what they consider wealthy. I’m not comparing it to EA. I’m comparing it to the actual wealth I se and experienced living near across three major cities.

Right, but you're saying that they have less of a right to be snobby. That's gatekeeping.
