SYRACUSE, NEW YORK - One of the BEST PLACES to live / visit in the USA! Here are 10 Reasons why.

[@CampDavid54]

Not a damn thing worth having in Syracuse ! I retired and left New York State 1 Month later. 6 months of winter followed by 6 months of cold weather. Oh, did I forget to mention no gun rights.

[@thechosen8189]

Fuck yo guns rights nigga

[@orangepeel2223]

It needs to be renamed SorryCuse home of illegals, gangs, shootings, drugs and a corrupt Police force

[@jeremyallen840]

I beg to differ with you buddy. You must have grown up here because most of the locals here do not appreciate or respect the city. Im not originally from here but have live here for 10 years and the only people I connect with and get a long with are people that are originally from here.

[@josephcooter5763]

Go ahead we don't miss you one bit. You shouldn't have the right to a gun because gun ownership is NOT a constitutional right. The 2nd Amendment actually refers to the State's right to respond in emergencies you nit. It gives the state the power to put down a riot or call in the national gaurd when their is a natural disaster. it was never designed for individual guns you nit.

[@noname-JS]

Horrible horrible place filled with very average people

[@AgathaLOutahere]

Syracuse has some decent suburbs like Liverpool, Fayetteville, Clay, etc. The city itself is not worth bothering with.

[@racingbeats1493]

I grew up in Syracuse and honestly one of it's biggest issues is some of the very vocal older crowd. I have personally had the ability to travel a bit and have been to quite a few different states. I think some people that live in Syracuse haven't really spent much time anywhere else so they focus solely on negative aspects of the area. When I travel I often see the pros and cons of Syracuse pretty plainly. Some of the positives are that it's easy to get around, you can live in a safe suburb and get downtown in 15 mins, has a cost of living less than 75% of New York state, average house price is just 127k, it's getting a multi- billion dollar chip manufacturing facility that will bring 50k jobs in the next 20 years, is getting a state of the art 75-100 million dollar aquarium, home to SU university, home to 5th largest mall in the US, and has urban, suburban, and rural living options all very close together. Syracuse has given me the opportunity to live like the upper middle class on a lower middle class income. That's hard to beat. Yes the weather is bad, yes some of the community is intolerable on both the left and the right, yes certain parts of the city look pretty atrocious, and yes it's biggest negative is crime which is in the top 10% in the country. I would consider this Syracuse's biggest downside. However, I'm saying that I have not felt uncomfortable enough to want to move. With that said If you avoid very obviously bad areas (I can't because of my job) you can live relatively blind to the crime around you. Crime in Syracuse is very localized.

[@HappyBeeTV-BeeHappy]

Great report! In fact, what you said is probably the case in every place now. No matter where you go there's parts that aren't so good.

[@cnygrrl]

Winter is a big part of Syracuse as we usually get a lot of snow. I suggest you explore winter activities besides the ice skating in the city. We have nearby skiing areas, snowmobile trails, sledding, as well as a Winterfest every year. Our ability to clear the roads of snow and ice enable us to continue our daily lives and business despite the snowfall. Also... we have hockey leagues. In the Spring there is a local and of course college/high school crew races. Our proximity to the Finger Lakes affords boating as well as shoreline dining and vineyard touring. Our proximity to the Great Lakes (Lake Ontario) and the Seneca River allows some great Salmon fishing and the proximity to an international port and boat launches for sailing from Lake Ontario to the Great Lawrence Seaway down through the other waterways. Our affordable housing places Syracuse and Onondaga Count as a perfect location for daily and weekend trips. The Great New York State Fair is hosted every year in Syracuse at the end of August and signals the end of summer.

Jesus, what’s with all the Syracuse hate? I honestly don’t understand it. It’s by far the safest of the three biggest upstate NY cities, and it’s a beautiful city with not too many bad areas. I’m in Rochester, the most dangerous and ghetto city in the whole state. I plan to move to Syracuse to get away from all the violence and bullshit in Rochester.

[@jessegomes6366]

Rochester per capita isn't the worst in the state anymore

I don't get it either. I was raised not too far from Syracuse & had a great childhood. Miss it. 🥺🥺

[@jacobwood1707]

I'm from Syracuse, and I went to UB, so I've also lived in Buffalo. The three cities of Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo are literally identical when it comes to crime. I live in Philly now and can tell you that if you're not from "the hood" and don't live directly in it, then you have nothing to worry about. I always found it strange when people cite crime as a reason to move away from a place because, realistically, most people are completely unaffected by it

Yeah 3 comments. 2 you are wrong with your facts. 1 Syr Intl Airport where weather stats are recorded has 127 inches of snow. Where did you get 104 from? it's never been that low. Lowest I know back in 70s was 111 inches. Next we are in CNY not WNY. WNY doesn't start to after Finger lakes going toward Roc. reason why Gr8 NY State Fair is in Syr. Syr is 20 miles from the geographic center of NY State. I would throw in the best scenery in any area east of Rockies. Rivers lakes forests mountains of over 2,000 ft dot areas south of Syr.. And you didn't include winter like snow parks for tubing, and ski areas in almost every direction from Syr. Some of the friendliest and down to home genuine people that exist too. I just moved to Mass after 20 yrs and miss it alot. Oh and you can't forget lights on lake starts next week.

[@fiermonte83]

Great report on Syracuse…my home town There were a couple things I may not have agreed on 100% but overall spot on review of the ‘Cuse! A-

[@jeremyallen840]

It's a good video. But Syracuse is in central NY not western. And Onondaga lake is not safe to fish in if you want to eat the fish. It's contaminated and is not safe to swim in or fish. Other than these couple things I mentioned I enjoyed the video.

[@burtan2000]

Dermal contact with lake water is now okay (except for certain areas at certain times because there are sewer overflows in extreme wet weather, which is true of virtually every metro east of the Mississippi). I think adult males can eat some fish like once a year. So....yeah, probably better just to not eat the fish. But that's just one lake (and its tributaries). Paradoxically, Central NY also has some of the cleanest lakes. Syracuse gets its domestic water completely from Skaneateles Lake. The water is gravity fed - no pumps needed - and requires only filtering of particulates. No chemical or UV treatment required to have safe drinking water. This is an amazing feat considering the amount of farms (and manicured lawns) in the Skaneateles watershed. Overfertilization, dog poop, sanitary sewer overflows, and general garbage are the main concerns for Onondaga nowadays since the cap was completed. The cleanup was fairly successful and water quality is lightyears from what it was. They walled off groundwater from entering the southeastern shoreline; they rehab'd and remediated the impacted streams; they dredged the most contaminated sediment off the bottom., then they capped the remaining contaminated sediment with millions of yards of sand and gravel. Now it's mostly just monitor until we all die. That's the only downside, but it's true of all contaminated areas: monitoring must continue basically forever.

[@deanchapman1824]

The best thing about Syracuse is that it's in the Finger Lakes region.

[@shanequajohnson5913]

I grew up in Syracuse and I used to live in Syracuse and the only thing I don't like about Syracuse not fixing broken homes and makes new homes for people who have low income and crimes and I live in Syracuse for 23 years and I saw inside the Destiny's USA mall so many times and I'll might move back to Syracuse

[@djfrozone]

This was cool. I like it here in Syracuse! Many good points! Now we have actual racing tracks and the zoo still rocks!

[@djfrozone]

Beaver lake is also highly underrated, really surprised with all the negative bits. No place is perfect, except the MOST! Great job with your list, I think of most people actually went to visit these locations they could understand how this city works.

In the colder times there are clubs to go to-- gaming, darts, pool, as well as winter sports (skating, skiing, snowmobiling). Join a vineyard tour, take some time to explore all the parks, all the new restaurants, the free entertainment as well as the private fee based entertainment (Ren Faire, Shakespeare in the Park). We have a Jazz Fest, a Blues Fest, ethnic festivals with great food and entertainment, Broadway in Syracuse, a robust library system, Library and Uni lectures, Lakefront concerts, sports (even a farm team plays every week).
