Every weekend you hear of some drug addict dying, either OD, or car crash.

You want to raise your kids around here, where the chances of them becoming a heroin addict are pretty high?

so then you have tons of illegals...

drug addicts and illegals...and high taxes for all of this....

corrupt cops, and politicians...

Run...Run while you still can before you get stuck in this place and you wont be able to get out

run, Forrest, run!

Yet for all of these horrific crimes, somehow, Suffolk-Nassau is ranked the safest metro area in the Country. Amazing!

Nothing you described here is unique to LI. These are national issues. I read an article today about a town in Tennessee which has had a significant influx in juvenile "migrants" and the school district is being blamed for not enrolling them quickly enough.

While you are correct in that heroin abuse has grown considerably in white suburbs, it is actually the worst in the [Midwest,](The Heroin Epidemic, in 9 Graphs | US News) but prescription drug abuse (option analgesics) is the bigger epidemic. NY actually had among the lowest pain prescription rate in the nation (60 per 100 people).

Actually, many of the new 'village' developments going up around train stations start in the $2k/month range. A two-bedroom will set you back about $3500/mo. That's what affordable means on LI.

Sure, you can afford it on a $150k/annum salary, but unless you're a cop or teacher, you're heading to the city to make that kind of coin. Handy these developments are right by the LIRR stations.

And at the end of the year, you can look back to see how much of your hard-earned $ you frittered away on the LI consumer lifestyle. Cause, even at $150k/annum, you're just scraping by here on Wrong Island.

Except that it is not simply a question exclusively of supply and demand; cost must be considered. Young people may be limited to a housing expense of half what these current railroad station developments are asking for rent. Until the developers find a way, and amenable local governments, to produce housing units at a price point reachable by those creating the demand there will remain an affordable housing dearth on Long Island.

The problem is that this area is too far east for most people.
I thought Suffolk buses do not run on Sundays. What happens if you need to go somewhere not on 112 without a car?

These morons have come out here and brought the same destructive habits with them from up west. It's a damn shame. Go back where you came from, keep your concrete and fuoco and nasty attitude up west we don't want it out here.
Up islanders? Who are those?
