I believe they have started the sewer conversion with post-Sandy funds. But mostly still on septic.

The statistics on Asians and their performance in schools and standardized exams (APs, SATs, ACTs) would beg to differ.

Lets see what it gets.
Daaaaaaaang!!!! Even I didn't see that coming.....

BTW. I am seeing more and more white families moving into black parts of Deer Park and North Babylon. Same district for schools and 150k cheaper for same size property and house. A 450k house on deer parks west side will sell for 350 300k on deer parks black East side. Same school district . Same taxes. Same commute. As more and more families do this the prices will skyrocket. ....

Not really. They bought what they could afford in what was then, and still is now, one of the cheapest areas on LI.

Just wait until Neighborhood Rd gets sewer. It'll be a done deal.

1. Neighborhood Road gets sewer
2. Ppl with no kids start moving to Mastic, cause property taxes r cheap
3. Ppl with no kids who know how to cook or provide professional services move to Mastic to open places to start feeding and taking care of the ones that moved there before
4. Ppl with kids start moving because there's now neighborhood eateries and its "family friendly" and property taxes are still under 10K

"They" must want it that way
They are run as two separate railroads. The LIRR is poorly run in comparison, and there was major disability fraud going on for decades until finally caught in 2014.

You may find this interesting.

There is an underutilized high speed ferry service between Orient and New London. It shuts down in the winter or for very bad weather.
