Not news. White flight never ended. In full effect. We invented it in NYC/LI.
I've been on these boards for years telling you the Nimbys fighting against "becoming another Queens" will ultimately fail and drag LI down with it. The places that adapt and grow (Patchogue, Farmingdale, soon Babylon) will lead the way towards a denser, more interesting, more fun and prosperous period for LI. Too bad it won't be in mine or my kid's lifetimes.
It's capitalism. If you're not growing, you're dying.
Other NYC area suburbs do a much better job growing and moving with the times.
Who cares if the nurses are Filipino? I don't care where someone comes from as long as they take good care of me. Why would it matter?
People are so freakin' pretentious
If you noticed the part that the Hispanic population is growing the fastest but their income is lower...that’s the issue, not color.
If the average income doesn’t keep up with inflation, and Hispanics earn less and pay less in taxes (income and property) who will pay for all of the pensions?
Aside from certain areas, mostly major metro areas like NY, the numbers just are not there for "diversity". Evil and wretched white people still dominate the population by a landslide, even though their numbers are decreasing. All this political pandering is silly.

I told the wife, she must stay teaching in NYC. When NYS pension blows up its game over. The NYC teachers pension is a separate fund. If NYC teachers pensions goes belly up the state will bail them out. If the state fund goes belly up NYC will not bail out the state. Plus NYC schools population will increase or stay flat. More kids means more teachers paying into the ponzi scheme. LI and the rest of the state will continue to see declining enrollment.
In Jersey City, in Brooklyn, in Queens, etc...it is only diversity on paper. Everyone lives in their own segregated little sections. But in the Mastics we don't see the difference in color. We all coexist side by side. Black kids and white kids are part of the same circle out here. Coram is similar in this respect.

Mastic population is too small to even be considered in a demographic study. Besides, it's 79% white. As usual, the info you extract from your behind is patently false. 80% white, 10% black. I'm sure the black kids are just "cold runnin sh*t" cause everyone gets along. Not like they get killed by angry white Joes for stealing a minibike or anything. Just peace and love and racial harmony, I'm sure.
Why are Long Islanders so scared of brown people? There is barely any crime on Long Island as it is, so it can't be safety.
