Let's talk about the good things about Long Island for a change.

1. Traffic lets you enjoy your car's luxurious interior space.
2. High housing prices let you spend more time with your kids, and their kids too.
3. High taxes let you feel good about contributing to the common good.

Any other silver linings?

In geological terms, it's a pretty transient land mass, and will likely be completely obliterated when the next Ice Age comes?

Well there...LI has the most wonderful soil for planting! You'll pay dearly for soil, mind you...but it truly is great soil.

Except in my backyard. There, we have pricey clay. Sandy soil with good drainage in the front, though. Go figure.

Is it a mix of green and orange clay?

I still love the Pizza.

Whine Whine Whine shoulnt have been taken down.

I think the majority of this board are past the novelty of living in the burbs and are dealing with the stark fist of high taxes beating them over the head each day.

LI shouldn't suck.

However if I were reading this board as an outsider....I would think it does.

Again...

I love the Pizza.

I would say those who must bash are trying to make themselves feel better somehow. Is it remotely possible that the bashers are simply jealous that they cannot afford to live here? Why else are they here and all angry then?

Well my taxes are insanely high and I am pissed about it, but I still don't feel the need to bash.
