(my opinion) no chance. Buffalo and Rochester are experiencing the same thing - further suburban sprawl and an exodus to the sunbelt. I just don’t see buffalo falling that much further; in fact most are predicting a fall to about 250k before a very slow reversal. It's too bad Buffalo at only 41 sq mi (land) couldn't annex a few suburbs. For comparison Rochester, also compact at 36 sq mi (land).
