Major ethnic neighborhoods still exist but they changed significantly in the second half of the twentieth century. Traditionally,
Polish-Americans were the predominant occupants of the
East Side, while
Italian-Americans composed a close-knit neighborhood in the west side. The
East Side is now a predominantly African American neighborhood, while the
West Side has become a
melting pot of many ethnicities, with
Latino culture being the strongest influence. Throughout the history of Buffalo, the neighborhoods collectively called the
First Ward, as well as much of
South Buffalo, have comprised almost entirely people of
Irish descent. Recently, there has been an influx of inhabitants that are of Arab descent, mainly from
Yemen, as the city's
Muslim population has increased to approximately 3000 according to an estimate.

The regional economy can now best be described as a mix of industrial, light manufacturing, high technology and service-oriented private sector companies. Instead of relying on a single industry or sector for its economic future, the region has taken a diversified approach that has created opportunities for growth and expansion in the 21st century[citation needed].
Employment
Overall, employment in Buffalo has shifted as its population has declined and manufacturing has left.

[49] First Niagara, which had been considering expanding into
Western Pennsylvania for some time,
[50] benefited from
PNC Financial Services being required by the
United States Department of Justice to sell off 50
National City branches in the
Pittsburgh area and 11 more branches in and around
Erie to competitors,
[51] since the two banks had significant overlap in
Western Pennsylvania and had potential
antitrust issues in that area. First Niagara took advantage by buying 57 of the 61 National City branches from PNC that had to be divested after PNC acquired National City with funds from the
$700 billion bailout plan after National City became a victim of the
subprime mortgage crisis.

At the state level, there are three state
assemblymen and two state
senators representing parts of the city proper. At the federal level, Buffalo is represented by three members of the
House of Representatives.
In a trend common to Northern "
Rust Belt" regions, political life in Buffalo has been dominated by the
Democratic Party for the last half-century, and has been roiled by racial division and social issues. The last time anyone other than a Democrat held the position of Mayor in Buffalo was 1954.
[55] Democratic Mayor
James D. Griffin, was first elected to office as a nominee of two marginal parties, the Conservative party and the Right-to-Life Party in 1977 when he lost the Democratic primary for Mayor to then Deputy State Assembly Speaker
Arthur Eve. Griffin switched political allegiance several times during his 14 years as Mayor, generally hewing to socially conservative platforms. His successor, Democrat
Anthony M. Masiello (elected in 1993) continued to campaign on social conservatism, often crossing party lines in his endorsements and alliances. In 2005, however, Democrat
Byron Brown was elected the city's first African-American mayor in a landslide (64%-27%) over
Republican Kevin Helfer, who ran on a conservative platform.
This change in local politics was preceded by a fiscal crisis in 2003 when years of economic decline, a diminishing tax-base, and civic mismanagement left the city deep in debt and teetering on the edge of bankruptcy.

In fact, Buffalo has more than 20 parks with multiple ones being accessible from any part of the city.
The Olmsted Park and Parkway System is the hallmark of Buffalo's many green spaces. Three-fourths of city park land is part of the system, which comprises six major parks, eight connecting parkways, nine circles and seven smaller spaces. Begun in 1868 by
Frederick Law Olmsted and his partner
Calvert Vaux, the system was integrated into the city and marks the first attempt in America to lay out a coordinated system of public parks and parkways. The Olmsted designed portions of the Buffalo park system are listed on the
National Register of Historic Places and are maintained by the

Situated at the confluence of
Lake Erie and the
Buffalo and
Niagara Rivers, Buffalo is a
waterfront city. The city's rise to economic power came through its waterways in the form of
transshipment,
manufacturing, and an endless source of energy. Buffalo's waterfront remains, though to a lesser degree, a hub of commerce, trade, and industry.
As of 2009, a significant portion of Buffalo's waterfront is being transformed into a focal point for social and recreational activity. Recently excavated and rewatered is the Erie Canal Commercial Slip, which is the original western terminus of the Erie Canal System. This is intended to revitalize the original Erie Canal Harbor, with shops, eateries, a massive Bass Pro sporting goods outlet, and high-rise condominiums planned. Buffalo's intent is to stress its relatively architectural and historical heritage, creating a tourism destination.

The quarterly NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Opportunity Index (HOI) noted that nearly 90% of the new and existing homes sold in the metropolitan area during the second quarter were affordable to families making the area's median income of $57,000. The area median price of homes was $75,000.

Buffalo faces issues with vacant and abandoned houses, as the city ranks second only to
St. Louis on the list of American cities with the most vacant properties per capita. Since 2000, the city has torn down 2,000 vacant homes but as many as 10,000 still remain. Mayor Byron W. Brown recently unveiled a $100 million, five-year plan to demolish 5,000 more houses.
[60] The city's move away from heavy industry and toward a service and bioinformatics economy
[citation needed] has brought improved air and water quality, which benefit not only residents and tourists but the
bioregion as a whole. In July 2005,
Reader's Digest ranked Buffalo as the third cleanest large city in the nation.

People
The old First Ward in
South Buffalo retains a strong Irish identity, and Kaisertown reflects a German heritage. Buffalo's
Polonia centered on the
Broadway Market on the East Side, a microcosm of Polish/Slavic traditions and delicacies. The East Side is now home to African Americans, many of whom came north during the
Great Migration. The annual
Juneteenth Festival is a large cultural celebration organized by African Americans
[62] in
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Park.
The West Side is home to the city's
Hispanic community, predominantly of Puerto Rican descent. The West Side was once Buffalo's "Little Italy," but in the 1980s much of Buffalo's Italian American community moved to North Buffalo. There is also a small Italian-American enclave in the East Side neighborhood of Lovejoy. Many Buffalo households, churches, and restaurants continue to observe the Sicilian custom of preparing
St. Joseph's Day (March 19) tables, at which various meatless
Lenten courses are laid out for the poor.
Buffalo is also home to a relatively small
Jewish community.
German Jewish immigrants originally settled on Buffalo's West Side in the mid-1800s. Lower income
Russian Jews and
Polish Jews immigrating to the
Niagara Frontier in the early 1900s initially settled on the lower East Side, near William Street and Jefferson Avenue. The community migrated to the Masten Park neighborhood on the East Side, and then to
North Buffalo between the 1940s and the 1960s.

Approximately 80 sites are included on the
National Register of Historic Places. All of the major American architects of the 19th and early 20th century built masterpieces in Buffalo, most of which are still standing. They include:
The country's largest intact parks system designed by
Frederick Law Olmsted and
Calvert Vaux, including
Delaware Park. Buffalo was the first city for which Olmsted designed (in 1869) an interconnected park and parkway system rather than stand-alone parks.
The Hotel Buffalo (originally the Statler Hotel) by August Esenwein and
James A. Johnson was the first hotel in the world to feature a private bath in each room.
The
H. H. Richardson Complex, originally the New York State Asylum for the Insane, is
Richardsonian Romanesque in style and was the largest commission designed by prominent architect
Henry Hobson Richardson. The grounds of this hospital were designed by Olmsted. Though currently in a state of disrepair, New York State has allocated funds to restore this treasure.
There are several buildings by
Frank Lloyd Wright, including the
Darwin D. Martin House,
George Barton House,
William R. Heath House,
Walter V. Davidson House,
The Graycliff Estate, as well as the now demolished
Larkin Administration Building.

Nightlife
Shea's Performing Arts Center
Last call is at 4 a.m. in Buffalo, rather than 2 a.m. as in most other areas of the U.S. This is often attributed to the historically high density of industrial facilities and the demand of second and third
shift patrons. It is also because
New York law allows bars to be open until 4 a.m. (However, local municipalities can override it to an earlier time.)

Airport
Buffalo is served by the
Buffalo Niagara International Airport, located in
Cheektowaga. The airport, recently re-constructed, serves over 5 million passengers a year and is still growing.
Buffalo Niagara International Airport ranks among the five cheapest airports from which to fly in the country, according to the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics. The average round trip flight cost is $295.58.
[85] In the last few years there has been a surge in Canadians flying out of Buffalo, mainly due to much cheaper tax and airline surcharges, as compared with Canadian airports and the ability to fly on some US based discount carriers not available in Canada.

The
NFTA operates bus lines throughout the city and suburbs, as well as the
Metro Rail transit system in the city.
The
Metro Rail is a 6.4 miles (10.3 km) long, single line rail that extends from downtown Buffalo to the
University Heights district in north Buffalo. The downtown section of the line is operated above ground and is free of charge to passengers. Outside the downtown area the line transitions to an underground system until it reaches the end of the line at University Heights. Passengers pay a fee to ride this section of the rail.
A new NFTA project is underway, often called "Cars on Main Street", that will substantially revise the downtown portion of the Metro Rail. It will allow vehicular traffic and Metro Rail cars to share Main St. in a manner similar to that of the trolleys of San Francisco.
.^ Recent improvements include a better design of collar and hood adjustment, and cuff straps instead of the previous elasticated cuffs.
The first phase of the project is underway, and will be completed by spring 2009. When the entire project is complete in the next few years, the downtown portion of Main St. will be re-opened to vehicular traffic for the first time in almost 30 years. This is expected to have a significant impact on the quality of life and business in the city center.
Intercity rail
Waterways
Buffalo is at the eastern end of
Lake Erie, one of the
Great Lakes, which boasts the greatest variety of freshwater sportfish in the country. The Lake serves as a playground for numerous personal yachts, sailboats, power boats and watercraft, and provides a short water route to excellent sand beaches on the nearby
Ontario (Canada) shore. The city has an extensive
breakwall system protecting its inner and outer Lake Erie
harbors, which are maintained at commercial navigation depths for
Great Lakes freighters.
A Lake Erie tributary that flows through south Buffalo is the
Buffalo River, for which the city is named. Buffalo is historically linked to the fabled
Erie Canal, which ends where the Black Rock Channel enters
Lake Erie. When the Canal was dedicated in
1825, its conceiver, New York State governor
DeWitt Clinton took waters from Lake Erie at Buffalo's Western Terminus of the Canal (now the
Commercial Slip). He sailed to New York City on the Canal packet
Seneca Chief, which later returned to Buffalo with Atlantic Ocean water. The seawater was poured into the Lake by Judge and future Buffalo Mayor
Samuel Wilkeson. Once a major route for passengers and cargo, the Canal is now used primarily for pleasure craft and some light local freight, and in Buffalo it bypasses the swift upper reach of the
Niagara River. A tributary of the Niagara River is
Scajaquada Creek, which flows though Buffalo, via the
Frederick Law Olmsted-designed Delaware Lake and Park.
