I was born and raised on Long Island, raised in Huntington Station. Had a house in Bellport. Sold and moved away in 2005 to Puerto Rico but now in Kansas, I miss Long Island very much.

I live in Upstate. Although I have many friends there. I decided not to visit Long Island anymore . The drivers there are reckless, traffic is crazy, The good restaurants always try to scam people, the hotels are overpriced, and in most neighbourhoods the people aren’t very friendly or helpful.

Definitely coming from a view of a person that lives in a better area and making a decent living on Long Island. If your house hold income is not 5-7 thousand a month (after taxes) your struggling to keep afloat !

I'm from Long Island, I was born and raised there and stayed there my entire life until I left to NYC around 21 years old or so. I miss it a lot. I'd do anything to go back.

I lived my entire adult life on L.I. I just moved to PA. Not gonna knock the Island, great place to live. I have enjoyed all the beaches, parks and restaurants as mentioned in this video. I had a good paying job in the city so I could afford the high cost of living. Make sure you have a good paying job if you want to live on the island. One more con is trying to get off the island. You have to drive through the city and across 2 major bridges-talk about traffic and tolls. You can take a ferry, but that might cost close to $100!! Oh, and watch out for the plethora of red light cameras!

Thanks for the video.i agree what you said ... I lived on long Island for 30 years. All different parts .. just wanted to add that being close to the sea water It can take a beating on your house and your cars etc .the beaches are very nice to enjoy the day with your family or your friends . But in my case I spent so much time working to afford a home I didn't get to enjoy them much .the north shore is the way to go if your looking for a home in my opinion. As I lived on both

I have lived in Nassau and Suffolk Counties most of my life, but for the past 26 years have lived in Bayside, Queens. I think my area (called Oakland Gardens) is still affordable. We have express busses to the city, one goes up 3rd Ave and the other goes up 6th Ave. Its quiet, leafy, lots of parks nearby and I can hop on the LIE or NSP and go east at a moment's notice. I just came back from my local supermarket and saw some of my neighbors there, it's very much a neighborhood. I think my area is a good alternative for those who want the best of both worlds and I think our taxes are much lower here.

Born and raised on LI, left after high-school for the Marines shortly after graduation. 30 year's later I've still not been back to visit. I really should, on my bucket list.

Levittown for me was Great place back in the day to grow up in 👍😀 Family was in Bethpage and Hicksville 💜 Again in the 70's it was great neighborhoods and Traditional Up bringing 🙏🙏

Leaving Long Island in a week to move upstate. Long Island has just become too damn expensive and the traffic sucks and to rent an apartment is obscene, who the Hell wants to work 2-3 jobs just to pay rent? I think there is too much greed and not enough kindness too.

[randy]

Dad grew up in Glen Cove.. loved visiting coming from Los Angeles where I grew up.

I grrew up in Suffolk county near bellport/east Patchogue. My grandparents lived in Stonybrook. North shore is so different from south shore. After being away for almost 30 years, id like to come bscl but the housing situation is outrageously expensive. Even 2 bed small house is over 250 k and thats out in the boonies like wading river or something. And the property taxes are sky high but i do know ppl there still. Maybe i go visit and check around. I dunno. Miss the ocean and the bay.
