We'll they're all really different questions, but I kind of explain my situation in each one. I'm just Sincerely reaching out- trying to ask you all for your input.
Me, technically I'm an entrepreneur. I make money in a few different ways. I'm a business owner.
I Can set up my whole deal out there etc.. work from there.
I am looking for better places to live. I want to live in a Beautiful home in a really nice neighborhood. Perfect for my family- perfect for raising kids.
I was looking at the state of New York, looking for places like that.
I've found city's in the area surrounding Bethpage (Is that area nice?) Please Recommend areas for me. I've only looked there so far, And found out it's considered to be in "Long Island?"
But Be completely Honest with me! What do you Hate? Not like? About New York, Long Island, That area? Bethpage area? etc..
What do you like?
Also, do they have Hurricanes there? Floods? Tornadoes? Earth quakes?
Please write me back, thank you!
Cost of living is about 150% of average. Paycheck is about 110%. Better save your pennies. Houses here for family size start around 350,000.
Your kids, unless your neighborhood has lots of them, will need rides EVERYWHERE. Walkability of LI is near-nil.
Traffic congestion is horrible, I stay off the roads around 8am and 5pm weekdays. Traffic to the fun places on weekends requires a minimal 30minute addition to your trip.
Hurricanes occaisionally. Flooding is dependant on area, even in the middle of the island there is problems with groundwater swell into basements. Check with neighbors before you buy.
bro, Meth (Speed) Is totally different than coke. I had a friend that didn't even have a job- managed to do all kinds of Coke dude.
But Meth is totally different & by the way, some people sell drugs to support their drug habbit. Some people hold a minimum wage job & blow their check on drugs. You don't have to be doing well to be a drug addict.
And Meth is a totally different ball game bro.
Meth is super cheap, It's almost like Crack. And by the way- you made it sound like the idea of targeting the poor as client base for Drugs is ridiculous- DUDE! watch a Documentary on Crack, or on Rick Ross or something.. Everyone's seen those on TV out here.
Crack was like a multi Billion dollar Business & it's primary base was the WORST! I mean THE WORST!!!! Ghetto's in the United states! Like Dirt poor homeless people do crack man.
speed (meth) dude, $10 worth of meth, not even bro- $5 woth of meth, if you snort it- you will be just High for like 24 hours Plus! You will not sleep for days!
When I was 16, Someone gave me a Dime of Meth ($10 worth of meth.) Told me to snort it- It was all impulsive ( I don't do meth or any drugs by the way.) I snorted that crap, was high for like 1.5 days. And took me a few days after that to come back to feel normal.
Just lettin you know bro. I've seen some pretty poor people man, I mean they have nothing- maybe a bike bro, Most tweekers ride bikes hahaha...
And reason I ask, Tweekers, man... They will Steal! to pay for their Speed. That's why I asked.
Well since you've spam this nonsense all over every major city boards .....I'll give you the honest answer you're looking for L.I.
If your looking to start up your business on L.I. you might have to dapple in Heroin...which is becoming the drug of choice. Crack and coke have already seen their day's there. Meth you'll have to go upstate. So if you want to "make" it there you might want to heed this advice
As an retired ex LI who moved because of high taxes and harsh winters- If I considered moving back it would be out east after William Floyd Parkway- The reasons are more open space, better air quality more rural areas with plenty of farms and wineries and less traffic - except during the summer in certain areas. Beaches are cleaner and outdoor activities- like fishing, camping and sight seeing are available. You can hop a ferry over to New London Ct and head up to one of the gambling casinos and try your chances. You can stop in Greenport and have dinner down by the waterfront.
Im looking at Americus GA, this island is getting worse and worse...
Stop saying the schools are good...
Last i looked all our dropping the ball politicians went to school here....
I haven't seen anything get better....
Then again, look at who the people vote for, and all those people went to school here too..... gives you another insight to how well the schools are doing....
