Don't move your helpless kids here.

I can tell you the real reason, class and culture discrimination. If you live in a North shore community and you are middle class instead of rich, you are looked down upon and looked at as being a problem, even if you are white like I am.

What school district are you in?

And I'm still not sure how that extends to your rants on all "downstaters"...

Yes, it's not a nightmare. It's the BURBS.

If I had kids, I'd rather raise them in the South Bronx.

Long Island has no museums? Anyone who didn't grow up in the Bronx had a horrible childhood? LOL

How are you a real person?
