Where young college grads are choosing to live

Question

Here's an interesting article on where young college grads are choosing to live

I live in Denver , which is ranked #3 here.  I can confirm the influx (although I hadn't quite realized the extent of it) and the popularity of the urban core. The reasons listed seem pretty spot on too.

I am intrigued that Buffalo is in the #7 spot. Buffalo peeps, what's the deal? Forgive me for stereotyping, but I'll admit I'm guilty of thinking of Buffalo as a walk-in freezer that you pass through on the way to Canada. Can you tell me what is making your town so popular?

its realy not that bad weather wise especially if you are into winter sports, or disappointing professional sports teams.  Super affordable and vibrant communities and people are nice.  I grew up 20 min

south, bounced around with the army had a few years on Long Island came back to B-lo to finish school and picked up our first property while I did that.  Now live right downtown...our plan said to move after 7 years and that was 3 yr ago...enjoying it while we are here.

The reason is obvious, they can't get real jobs with that liberal arts degree so they move where there's the highest density of restaurants, the big city, to be waiters.
