They are building a Habitat house on Station Road right now. It's right next to a boarded up house.
I don't understand charities. They build one house in a bad neighborhood which in reality doesn't even equate to one drop in the bucket.
Yeah, North Bellport is a very scary place in my opinion. Last time I went there like 1/3 homes were for sale or abandoned, most of the lawns looked overgrown or just dirt/weeds and most of the homes were derelict and it just looked very neglected. There have been a lot of habitat for humanity houses and houses of other affordable housing programs to improve the area but some people just don't keep up with them. It's just a creepy place, especially at night. There was a decent sub-division like area there but that's the only nice thing I can think about in the area unfortunately. My father owns and rents out several properties in the area as an investment and in 2 of his houses, homeless people or drug addicts or somebody broke in and stole the pipes in both homes.
(i'm referring to North Bellport South of Sunrise and North of Montauk/County Rd. 80.)
But anyways, I just think that she needs to just adjust to that environment. Even though many of the people there may "look tough", most people there actually won't bother you if you don't bother them.
I hate to break it to you, but, the reason that section of North Bellport is and has been such a hellhole is because of ABSENTEE LANDLORDS who ruined the neighborhood.
Back in the day, there was some kind of HUD deal for cheap houses over there that were only supposed to go to prospective homeowners of modest income who would live in the home. Somehow (via bribery I guess) most of the homes (the VAST MAJORITY of them) were not sold to be owner-occupied, but ended up in the paws of ABSENTEE LANDLORDS who IMMEDIATELY made it a Section 8 haven and let anyone live there and do anything they wanted since most of the rent was paid by the government and since said landlords didn't have to live in the neighborhood. This has been going on for several decades. That is why North Bellport is so "scary" as you put it.

It's a shame. I usually see something nice about every area I've been to but that area just has no good qualities. It sad that people who don't even live there started its downward spiral.

Might as well be a part of some of the most infamous NYC projects due to what the absentee landlords did to it. NYC has to take care of their poor people according to their government bylaws so of course they are stuck with the worst of the worst mixed in with the decent but poor. That section of North Bellport was CREATED AND STANDS AS WHAT IT IS as a Section 8 money-making scheme. If it had been allowed to develop naturally, with homeowners who lived in the houses, instead of the greedy hog absentee landlords sticking their snouts in, it would be a lot different.
Nobody in what we here on this forum would consider a "decent" community wants affordable housing, section 8, habitat for humanity or anything else of the sort in their neighborhood. That's just how it is. that's why most of this stuff ends up in da hood. I admit, I wouldn't want it on my block. Too risky. Yeah, you could end up with someone who really would appreciate it and take care of the home and become an upstanding citizen in the community, but unfortunately that's the exception, not the norm. Mostly you end with a single mom, who wants to do good for herself and her kids, but always makes bad relationship decisions and ends up with the unemployed boyfriend who spends all her money on drugs and beer and parts for a car that never runs, and then the house starts looking all unlived in and everything, and cops be showing up a few times a week for domestics, and, ugh, you know what I mean...

100% true.
North Bellport coulda been the next Rocky Point!
