Reading through some of the other articles had me thinking about what really makes an entrepreneur successful. The first thing that came to mind was how there are some businesses that previous would not have been possible, but the landscape has change and it is now possible – dispensaries. When I stumbled upon the article posted about Uber, my home city came to mind – Buffalo.

Although NYC has had Uber for years, Buffalo (and the rest of upstate NY) has been banned from using the service. This is not just a problem for those that are currently living in Buffalo and Uber, but for those that may want to startup a ride sharing service headquartered in the region.

Upstate NY is moving towards a new agreement to allow Uber, but the point stands to show that not all places are suitable for certain start ups. Sometimes, the block comes from geography, while the more disappointing block comes from politics.
