Smithtown and St.James seem to be one of the safest and cleanest communities on LI. Ditto for Kings Park. Smithtown has done a very good job keeping the trash away. Though many wealthier residents bring in day laborers for landscaping.

Kings Park, Smithtown and Saint James are hamlets, not villages.

In case you are unfamiliar with the local geography, I've sent you an explanation of the very, very confusing geography of "Lawn Guyland" as a DM (Direct Message).

Are you looking to establish a chapter there?

I doubt you'll see anything. Further east, in Port Jeff, there is some gang tagging.

Wafer.....not joking ....just very surprised at what I'm seeing whilst driving around checking out L.I. neighborhoods..i.e Westbury, Huntington, Hixville and E.Meadow.
Huntington Station reminded me of East New York, Brooklyn.

I've heard the Halesite Crips are pretty mean. Better watch out for them and the Centerport bloods

I am baffled everytime i come across posts like this. Does this mean that day laborers are trash? or are just making the point that they bring day laborers as opposed to night laborers??? What is the problem with giving someone who is willing to make an honest living the chance to do so? If you are unhappy with the way they look, good luck trying to find a bunch of white people that is willing to mow your lawn for a living. If you are unhappy with the fact that they don't pay taxes, write a letter to your congressman to push for immigration reform, so that our government give these people the chance to make an honest living legally the same way Irish, Polish, German, Italian and Chinese immigrants did decades ago.

Why can't we mow our own lawns and clip our own hedges?
Is it that difficult?
What's next ...importing people from Canada to wipe our butts?
