my ex lived in Batavia and let me tell you when I stayed up there that sort of thing was common place. The place was a liberal utopia. Everyone and his mother on food stamps, no jobs besides drug dealing, crippling taxes, and more “lgbt” than I thought was possible in such a small area. Made Massachusetts seem like a randian paradise.
Suffice to say when she wouldn’t leave with me the relationship went sour real quick.
We talking about the same city? Could be, I was on the outside (Stafford). Above was my perception.
