Seems like long islanders get pretty defensive. Nothing new, snyde remarks as per usual.
Can't change the weather but definitely could be better on the jobs front.. Good day!
Nothing snyde, just tired of expats coming on here repeating the same stuff over and over again like a broken record bumping old threads for no reason at all. We get it, it's expensive. You moved away, congrats.Want a medal?

Everybody in LI is moving to Hampton Roads VA and Research Triangle NC!
Actually the latest transplants I know are going to gated communities in backwoods South Carolina because the property taxes are "only" $1,500 a year. What they get for that is nothing and nobody around their gated community but poverty-stricken hicks who hate/envy northerners, no sidewalks, no sewers (cesspools or the nicer term "septic systems"), and no lighting or guardrails on any of the local roads (drinking and driving at night is REALLY risky there LOL!) ... plus scenic "inlet(s)" that will guarantee flood trouble at hurricane time. I said have fun with that and make sure you really, really want to stay there because nobody is going to buy your McMansion for anything near what you paid for it as everyone wants to build their own special cheap McMansion.
Houses in some parts of the South are like cars when it comes to depreciation. Instead of the value goes down $xx,xxx once you drive off the lot, it is the value goes down $xxx,xxx once you sign the contract to build it. The southern real estate developer sharks are loving it! There's a big one that committed bankruptcy not so long ago selling houses in their development like hot cakes. Hope the developer can "finish" the houses without going out of business. A lot of people are even too stupid to look at the financial condition of the builder they're trusting with a huge lump of their money and life because they are so snookered in by the "cheapness" of it all.
But most of the areas that are currently middle or working class will DEFINITELY decline, unless it has some major redeeming quality like walkability, a good downtown or good LIRR access.
The decline will be more apparent in Suffolk than Nassau.
