South Bronx here. Soundview Bronx River Projects. Moving to Binghamton was the best choice I ever made. I went from making no money and having shit to making $85,000 on my own. Rent is cheap and houses are cheap. Outside of Binghamton you can get some good real estate. This area is definitely a hidden gem and only bums with no ambition can’t see it. The USA as a whole is mad expensive, NYC, Boston, Miami and every other spot is unlivable. Binghamton is definitely a good spot. Drugs and violence are now an American norm everywhere, there’s no running away from it

If not for Binghamton University the entire County, and the City of Binghamton especially, would be a desolate ghost town. As it is, the BU students and faculty are a life line for the economy. It will never be the industrial hub that it once was (at one time 1/4 of the nation's population lived within 250 miles and if it was produced, it was produced in Binghamton) but it is coming back. Downtown most distinctly. I've lived in other areas of Upstate NY and trust me...Binghamton is one of the nicest. The services are top notch, housing is not crazy over priced (unless you're a renter...the student housing market has driven prices through the roof) and all in all it's still a very progressive, inclusive and diverse place. Try living in Amsterdam, Gloversville or Johnstown, all 3 that have no BU to sustain them and you'll get an idea of what Binghamton COULD be. Not what it IS. And...to be fair, much of this was filmed in poorer areas. Riverside Drive, the West Side almost in its entirety, the majority of the South Side, East Side and even North Side are great neighborhoods. South Mountain, much of it in the City, is very, very nice. Don't judge the Book of Binghamton by this cover....
