However overall quality of life (winter weather aside) is great-especially if you measured it up to another racing town like Newmarket

No consideration to the Lexington area? Much nicer weather.

well it needs to remain the way it is. saragota is special.

Many of NYS best places have done a fairly good job of preserving the historical aspect of the area. Like Saratoga, Cooperstown does a fine job of keeping out the billboards and chain restuarants. Lake Placid is still a beautiful place to go as well.

Apologies-I should have made myself clearer. I love Lexington. I've been there many times but as a visitor staying only 4-5 days.

I compared those 2 towns because I've owned homes in both of them. One of them has a very good quality of life, is very well run (regardless of party) and has solid plans to preserve the city but also plan for the future.

In 18 years I never felt that about Newmarket. The centre of the town is a disgrace. Too many people-residents' and non-residents' care enough about Saratoga to make sure that it never ends up like Newmarket.
