Immigrants have been popping out kids left and right for years and years and natural born citizens are bailing on LI. So while "we" are leaving, the population is still growing.

It's much more prevalent on LI. We've also got way more LI natives looking to leave due to the high COL than other places around the Country.

You have a lot of people from NYC moving to long island. People who get a job in NYC but do not want to live in the city.

Show me statistics that prove that more natives are looking to leave LI than any other part of the country. It happening in most expensive metro areas.

We drive off the ferry in Port Jeff and see at least one random act of rudeness before we've left the village.

Even my beloved North Fork has been infiltrated by the snobbish, aggressive, and selfish city folk from up the island. Go home and stay home. Or go to the Hamptons with the rest of your snob class. You are rotten excuses for human beings and are not welcome here.

Lately we've been taking the ferry whenever it's feasible. Definitely helps to retain some of that vacation-generated sense of well-being. At least until the second day of work!
