Binghamton, New York is now approaching Detroit in many economic measures.
Upstate New York is becoming Detroit with grass thanks to many years of liberal state policies.

Upstate New York is becoming Detroit with grass.
Binghamton, New York — once a powerhouse of industry — is now approaching Detroit in many economic measures, according to the U.S. Census. In Binghamton, more than 31 percent of city residents are at or below the federal poverty level compared to 38 percent in Detroit. Average household income in Binghamton at $30,179 in 2012 barely outpaces Detroit’s $26,955. By some metrics, Binghamton is behind Detroit. Some 45 percent of Binghamton residents own their dwellings while more than 52 percent of Detroit residents are homeowners. Both “Rust Belt” cities have lost more than 2 percent of their populations.
Binghamton is not alone. Upstate New York — that vast 50,000-square mile region north of New York City — seems to be in an economic death spiral.

upstate New York is tethered to New York City, whose residents overwhelmingly support higher taxes, stricter regulation and bigger spending than the national averages. Those policies are blamed for upstate’s economic woes by many in the region.

Upstate New York Is Becoming Detroit With Grass – Thanks to Years of Democratic Rule | The Gateway Pundit
The Tri-city area known as Binghamton New York known as the shoe capital of America Endicott Johnson shoe mfg., International Business Machines (IBM), and Link Aviation Devices, Inc, are no longer alive within NY State. Upstate New York for those who don't remember was the manufacturing center for the Consolidated Aircraft, Bell Aircraft, Kodak, Ithaca Shotguns, Remington Arms, Savage Arms the list goes on and on. It appears that New York politics dominated by Progressive Democrats has driven these companies from the state by usury taxation and political correctness. Democrats have all but driven the dairy industry out of the state too. This has not occurred accidentally, it has all been planned. Soon we will be competing with Michigan, Illinois and California for State bankruptcy.
