That's not hard to imagine. There are good sections inside of Brownsville and East NY. Then they are not so good parts as well. Brooklyn cant be compared to Mastic or any part of Eastern Long Island. Brooklyn is centrally located to the rest NYC... you can easily go to SI, Manhattan, and Queens. In addition, LI is right there too. Brooklyn has the most trains for easy mobility. A half a mill for a home in Brooklyn is kind of standard, unless it's on a terrible block. With Brooklyn and NYC, the home is more important than the neighborhood. You can find a great home in a great location of a so called bad neighborhood and you still have access to the rest of the city. And the taxes are extremely low. Nobody could've predicted Brooklyn real estate making such a great turn around. Now NY'ers are being forced out. But be careful because what goes up must come down.

"Thats not hard to imagine?"
Kinda smug way to come off, when later on in the same paragraph you say nobody could have predicted Brooklyn real estate making such a great turn around
So whats your point?

Point is what happened in Brooklyn ain’t happening to Mastic.
I don't see why not
Unless people want it to stay that way
Fact is things are getting expensive and people will live wherever they can afford
Kids who grew up on Long Island can't even afford to buy unless they live in a basement and inhale mold, and screw up their diets by eating just Ramen for the better part of a decade to get the downpayment money up.
Why wouldnt one want to minimize that jail sentence by buying cheaper

Brooklyn = easy access to Manhattan
Mastic = easy access to....?
You can gentrify neighborhoods that are commutable to NYC but I don't see why anyone would want to gentrify Mastic.

Lol. These Long Islanders make no sense...talking in circles. Oh well, makes it easier for us city folk to swoop in and grab all the cheap properties that no longer exist in the boros.
