Well said, about school costs (racketeering/cost shifting) <-BTW; The hamptons have cheap taxes by LI standards in relation to dollar of home value btw. Its because there are few full time school children against a large total appraised value.
The correct town for such an eclectic bunch resides outside of LI; Ithaca comes to mind
Yeah, I was thinking of the Ithaca area or a nice area near a college/university in the bigger or relatively mid sized Upstate areas. Plus, they would be more affordable.
You also have places like New Paltz, Hudson, Oneonta and Geneva that have that "vibe" and/or are quite culturally diverse smaller communities that could also work. All except for Hudson have at least one 4 year college, with Oneonta having two 4 year colleges.

Not a bs post. Transracial refers to our adoption of children that are not the same race as we are. 2 white moms, 3 black children, 4 white children. We have adopted through foster care. We will both be working on Long Island so no commute to the city. We are both educators, one in higher ed and one in special ed. So we can't pay big bucks for rent but between 3000-4000 a month. There are plenty of homes in that range, just wanting to get a sense of the more progressive areas. And trust me, as someone from the south, progressive really does matter.
What are your commutes? How long a commute can you tolerate? Long Island is 120 miles long (including Brooklyn and Queens) and traffic gets very heavy during the rush hour.
To the poster who asked if people commute to the city from the Hamptons...yes. It's a fact. They don't do it five mornings a week, but they might go in twice a week and work the rest from home.
