Posts on the Florida board. Why are there so many angry people in Florida? Well, this person in Florida is angry because I am not on Long Island.
LOL, can you set one up on the FLA board? They may be angry b/c they can't get pumpkins on Halloween, and they have to use coconuts instead (or so I heard).
Because it's a smail's pace type of life! But very expensive for no reason.
I'm confused.
Are you saying that you think the Long Island lifestyle is slow, dull and boring? That's what most people consider "a snail's pace".
Many of the people who want to leave Long Island, cite the "hectic lifestyle" or "ratrace" as one of their reasons... so I'm confused. In what part of Long Island is life so slow and laid back?
There are lots of reasons Long Island is expensive, but a lot of them have to do with being as close we are to the #1 most expensive city in the USA (Los Angeles is #2) and the 15th most expensive city in the entire world.
Here's some info on how expensive certain cities are, if anyone is interested:

It seems like forums draw complainers. People on this board like to complain about everything, but costs are the #1 issue. I mean, really...where is that people just jerk around all day...resorts in Key West? I've been to a lot of places in this country and I don't seem to remember a place where I said...boy, EVERYONE here looks so happy and relaxed. People are in la la land it seems.
Crowding! Humidity! Liberals! Crime! TAXES!
The only rich that I know of are way out east (Especially the Hamptons) and on the north shore. The rest of the Island is slowly becoming Queens and that ain't a good thing. Now before anyone accuses me of being a racist or anti-NY or anything let me say that I've lived all my 54 years in NY. Raised in Bayside and now live in Valley Stream. I've lived along side black, asian, spanish and just about every other race and there's good and bad among us all. I work in the UN and have for 22 years so I sure don't have any phobias about people of other backgrounds. That's just how I see it and why I'm going west!

Good, I can't wait til more people with this attitude leave. I'm loving all the pro-LI posts on here, especially that one about traffic and living near one of the biggest cities in America. That always makes me laugh...

I'd like that if it were true.
It has all the ugliness of Queens without the convenience of mass transit or the interesting ethnic diversity. Truly the worst of both worlds.
