Are you kidding me? I just wanted to say.
Look up Erie County (Buffalo, what a trip!), look up other counties before you talk about Broome. From what I've seen, Broome is somewhere in the middle, somewhere between below average is some areas, average in some areas, and above average in some areas. Just because you're from a "spotless" little village in a county your happy with, stop hating the Southern Tier. I will talk about Poughkeepsie below, which I like, the city is ghettosih, but the town is nice. Look it up on these forums. It gets criticized HORRIBLY, I can't stand it, but that's why I'm not surprised about the Southern Tier haters, same as the Poughkeepsie haters. Picking the bad on purpose because they, what, grew up there and hated it? Get over yourself. I'm guilty of some bias, but I try to say those were my opinions. Also, I don't make it my City-Data career to go and ruin other's posts because you don't like a place!~
And near me, look up Poughkeepsie.
City and Town of Poughkeepsie. Look up their crime rates. Look up what people have to say about that area. That's one of the biggest cities in the Hudson Valley.
My hometown matches with Town of Poughkeepsie's crime rate pretty close in most areas.
For example I was interested in say Johnson City, that's a good example.

The Town of Poughkeepsie has the Poughkeepsie Galleria mall and the dead and like trying to survive but got blocked off and is being rebuilt South Hills Mall. Also, the Town of Poughkeepsie itself is generally spotless, but see it has a mall and along that route it has car dealers and stuff and restaurants, so if someone tries to tell a shirt, one for the town, someone steals a car, one for the town, someone chews and screws, one for the town. So I defend Johnson City AND Binghamton. I am used to the crime rates like I said under Poughkeepsie, that's generally is the way it is around my county of Dutchess.
