Nevermind the fact that he is blaming people for wanting to live comfortably.
Typical LIer: Blame the residents for the price of LI living. How dare you sit in an air conditioned home? Why would you ever want to drive a new car over feeding your family?
Who is "he"? :::looks down at chest::: obviously not me.
I have a question, given the living patterns of Long Island, does the fact that many people move to select communities when they move "Down South" make the transition easier?

First of all, most of the areas that Long Islanders are moving to down south are cookie cutter suburbs filled with chain restaurants and malls, and you drive everywhere, it's just all newer. There is little different about the actual lifestyle, there are just fewer pizza and bagel joints, and the people who already live there are sometimes not fond of New Yorkers. It's not like you're moving from Manhattan to cookie cutter Carey NC.
The other thing I've noticed is that there is no real "diversity" in most of these areas..it's caucasian's and blacks and not much of anyone else.

I was referring to culture and it sounds like people are just moving to a Southern version of Long Island. My parents are from the South. So, the transition would be seamless for me personally, especially being that they were rural/small town Southerners. I was curious about the reaction culturally and how where people lived previously on Long Island influenced where people moved to in the South.

There was a time when most of the neighborhoods built on LI were "cookie cutter" can we say Levittown. The car has been the backbone for most suburban travel regardless of location even when a town center exists most people are not going to walk to the market. Lack of pizza/bagels I agree but outside of the NY metro these fixtures are less important, just the way it is. I can not say I or my friends & family have ever experienced negitivity being from NY.
I do agree with the "diversity" statement every thing does seem to fall into black & white thats not to say northern neighborhoods are diverse but there are other races lurking in the next town.
