Like I said, I don't spend every waking minute doing something productive or meaningful.
Well, neither do I, or I wouldn't be on here at all. I do understand complaining about stuff; I'm sure I do it all the time about small things like the rudeness of people who think it's ok to eat full meals in subway cars. I just like to think that if a situation were black and white like yours appears to be, and I needed to take action to solve my problem, I wouldn't need to come on a message board to find empathy and solace. But that's just me and everyone is different. Good luck with your move.
These days, I hardly even see any young homeowners. I walk around Northeastern Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk, and all I see are old or older people who made their money in better, more affordable times decades ago. I know several people that left.
been a resident of northern LI for over 10 yrs. Slowly all the old people in my 4 block radius is dying off...literally. The new people are all younger homeowners. Half of younger residents I know for a fact came were from manhattan. I am no longer the youngest person in the area
I was just curious. I'm not looking to fight, but will continue to respond with my opinion even if it differs from yours.
Although some areas have been gentrified in recent years, I believe some areas resemble third or perhaps second world areas.

> Jamaica
> South Bronx
> Elmhurst
> Jackson Heights
> part of Flushing (which is a VERY large neighborhood)
> Brownsville
> Red Hook

Every big city will have its run down areas that resemble 3rd world countries. There are places like Brownsville to serve as a catchbasin for the destitutle.

It was not a question with bad intent. I am 34 years old and have a hard time believing that every major metropolitan area in America had third world dungeons prior to the early 1970's or so. Hence why I wouldn't mind picking your brain.
