Not at the high school, but VERY near by.
The mayor and his dem team are doing a wonderful job in the city??????

A vendor where I work just got back from Detroit. He said that Schenectady is a mirrored image of Detroit.
Crime, drugs, homeless, vacant properties, no jobs.
...........people just 'walking away'. |

That's what I'm sayin'. I made some posts about Detroit a while back, we have some interesting and irrefutable parallels to the motor city. The only takeaway our illustrious mayor makes is trying to blame our troubles on far-flung infrastructure, which isn't a valid comparison at all.
BTW, didn't they just celebrate another apartment building or something downtown? I wish that more people could quit being stupid and understand the cause and effect relationship between the doings downtown and conditions in Hamilton Hill, Mont Pleasant, Van Vranken Avenue, Vale, Eastern Avenue, etc.
Downtown Detroit has a Renaissance Center. No renaissance, just a center. |

Urban revitalization is when they tax the poor and spread the money around to all the corporate welfare recipients. |

this is a real renaissance |
| "While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat." |

Downtown Detroit has a Renaissance Center. No renaissance, just a center.
Downtown Schenectady also has a renaissance center but clearly no renaissance. This vendor went on to tell us that the poverty ridden folks are staying but the middle/upper class folks were smart and walked away. He said he see the same thing in Schenectady. What I found most interesting....he said that as like Schenectady, slum lords and drug dealers are also heading to Detroit.  |

Well if you stay, you get to pay the extremely high taxes to afford to pay for the city workers, many of whom moved outside the city to enjoy lower taxes and better services for themselves. Many of the welfarites in downtown Detroit are imported. |
