Upstate suffered from the brain drain in the late 60’s escalating rapidly with the oil crisis in the 70s. There was a real ‘get outta dodge’ feeling. I think by the 80’s resignation had set in.

So between the urban problems of rochester (blacks) the dissipation of the skilled tech labor, and the movement of technology from boston to san francisco, there is nothing left but agriculture.
