I don't think that it is fair to comment on this. We know where this might go.

I'm going to name some near me in no particular order and why (this is just my opinion, not meant to offend). I also only know Suffolk County, not Nassau.

1. Central Islip (very crowded/run down especially parts of 111, just a heck hole to drive over Suffolk Avenue).

2. Brentwood (north south route to Hauppauge is bad, just a dump in parts, some parts are sort of nice).

3. Downtown Bay Shore/near the train station (bad, bad, and really, let's face it, all the glitzing up is not going to save that place).

4. Parts of Shirley. I just hate William Floyd Parkway.

5. The town of Riverhead (very dubious characters hang around, especially near the Aquarium.)

I can't think of more, but I am sure there are a few.

Here are the ten towns I try to avoid at all costs and in this order
1)Manhasset
2)great neck/kings point
3)Syosset/Jericho
4)Freeport/Baldwin
5)Roosevelt
6)Brentwood
7)Central Islip
8)Gordon Heights
9)Bellport
10)any area just outside an "indian reservation" particularly the Mastic area

ETS-I find the super wealthy "persians" & others like them much more threatening than crackheads or homeless people.

Default Whats the deal with Compare Foods? They seem to be the common denominator....them Rent-A-Center and Pawn Shops.

Do these guys target lousy areas or do they create them?

Compare Foods Supermarkets; Home

A few of my neighbors told me that compare has really good prices & better meats, so I checked it out. The meat is way better but the store is geared toward people that don't speak English. So I say they target those areas.
BTW I haven't shopped there since.

Yeah, all those parents with their baby strollers and toddlers. Scary stuff!
