Yes. It's very suburban-looking. We all know that Southeast Queens is very suburban in character.
I want to note though, that neither (especially Southeast Queens) are particularly suburban for US standards, we're just used to extreme NYC level of urbanity.
Queens Village is actually denser than San Francisco, and South Jamaica is even denser
I'm not sure exactly, but the neigborhood has a lot of midrise apartment buildings, as well as smaller apartment buildings.
And you really don't need a car, Hempstead is very walkable and has a lot of bus routes going through it.
Interesting. I don't remember it looking like that. I remember it being mostly single-family homes. I also remember needing to borrow a car when I had to do some work there.

There are a lot of single family houses, but the vibe overall still isn't suburban because there are a lot of apartments mixed in, the houses might be on small lots or have 30 people living in them, etc.
Hempstead's population density is at 15k per square mile, which is not that much less than San Francisco (which many consider to be the 2nd most urban city in the country behind New York).
Well depending on what kind of work you have to do, maybe a car would help a lot. But the same can also be true for Brooklyn and Queens. I work in Queens and it seem like the majority of my coworkers drive, because getting there from many locations can be a pain in the ass.
It’s very simple . If you are not a NYC native...as in nativity....you are a transplant. You can’t start making any exceptions . The rule has to be hard and fast. I still consider myself a transplant even though I have lived here for more years than most of you have been alive, have lived in 4 boroughs, drove a taxi cab for a few years when I was in college and have been teaching in NYC schools for over 20 years. I know more about NYC than most natives that I know but I am still just a transplant.
Technically, yes, but transplants comes with different connotations for different people so some people are going to come in saying that they are definitely transplants and others are going to say that’s not what they think is generally meant by transplant.
I’m on the side that we are all NYC natives, born and raised.

Yeah. I think so. If you start splitting hairs, you'll get all confused.
If you weren't born in any of the 5 boros, you're a transplant no matter how long you've lived here or how young you came here. Oh, wait!
BUT...!
what if you were born elsewhere but came here when you were less than a month old and never lived anywhere since??
This whole thing is rather silly.
