- upstate new york has been decaying since about 1850, as new
- agricultural areas opened up in the west and water transport was
- replaced by rail transport, and later truck transport of goods and
- commodities.
-
- industry maintained itself along the mohawk valley till about the
- 1930s, but after the war the carpet mills moved south, as did almost
- everything else. nothing else moved in.
-
- similarly the mills near albany closed at the same time. north od=f
- albany there is very little economic activity.
-
-
- so don't blame it on the democrats. it was bad during the republican
- administrations as well. it got worse during them as well.
-
- now as industrial activity leaves the us, the whole country is slowly
- sinking into a similar decay.
