You know of that liberal stronghold in the hills of NY state?
Oh yes, indeed. I had the intense displeasure of spending an entire year in Ithaca, NY 14850.
I have a sister who lives there and she invited me up to regroup after a very rough spot in my life: "A change of scenery will do you good". After a few months in Ithaca I was able to secure employment, doing a $40,000/yr. job for $20,000 and relocated to the only "affordable" housing I could find, out in the boondocks of Spencer, NY. There I was able to burn black rocks for heat, pay $400/mo for electricity to run a light-bulb, water heater, and television and had snow on the ground from Halloween to Mother's Day. When things thawed out in June, I packed all my worldly possessions in a U-haul and moved my ass back to GA. Gratefully so.
Cornell has over 25 per cent jew enrollment, mostly from NYC.
They are insufferable.
Years ago we use to give pilot written exams etc in the area. Cornell students had so much money that getting a pilots license was a lark for something to do. PHDs were a dime a dozen, in fields of study I had to look up to see what they were. Ornithology was one of the palatable ones.
