What?
- yebyen 14y agoSorry. RIT grad, I'm not going to bore everyone with the list of usual complaints about Rochester, lets just say out of all the people I know who are from Western New York and went to RIT, I am still in Rochester. It has one thing, and that's cheap housing compared to where everyone else has gone.
- nicksergeant 14y agoWell, that's precisely the problem with Rochester. It's not the place, it's the people. That's why organizations such as this exist: http://coworkingrochester.com/ http://coworkingrochester.com/ http://interlockroc.org/ http://interlockroc.org/ http://refreshrochester.org/ http://refreshrochester.org/ http://rochestermade.com/ http://rochestermade.com/ If you don't like something about where you live, either change it, or move. Complaining about it for the sake of complaining won't change anything.
- yebyen 14y agoI am not sure what you've just tried to tell me. It's the people? That move away? So, move away? :) I had heard of half of those organizations. Thanks for the link. Do you do Barcamp?
- nicksergeant 14y agoI'm saying that the reason you think Rochester sucks is because people just complain about Rochester sucking without actually doing anything to improve the situation. Silicon Valley isn't great because of its location, it's because of its people. In other words, if you don't like like it in Rochester, either make it better (support local tech organizations, be proud to showcase work in Rochester, etc) ... or just leave. Complaining isn't going to do anything.
