Just take the northern state. It’s more prestigious than the LIE.

Well you'd have one less reputation point... that's what I get for raining my generosity down upon the world without reading ahead

This makes sense to me (though I understand you remedied the name of the Rd a few posts later.) I'm currently having buyer's remorse after buying 6-10 blocks from sketch town. It's not that it didn't occur to us when home shopping, it's just that we kept changing our minds and flip flopping back and forth over how much it bothered us. I don't really care about resale, if we lose money that's that-- I just don't want to get slain in my bed (I'm picky like that). To make matters worse, the family we bought the house from had pictures of 2 kids on the wall and the headcount at the inspection and closing yielded 1.. (at this point you probably think this is a troll post but I'm, pardon the pun, dead serious). We scoured Google for the family's last name looking for obituaries, crime Doppler activity, etc, and found nothing.. and as a previous post suggests, 2 cop families have moved out of the area this winter. The conspiracy theory part of me speculates stuff night go down that isn't reported...... I'm nervous y'al! Calling on my dear friends @ CD to soothe me.

Other than the proximity to sketch town, it's a nice area, neighborhood, school district, and other 3 borders are good. Our house is deeply shrouded in a housing plan, so I keep relying on how random it would be to choose our house out of 100 others.

This is one of the most ridiculous things I've heard in a long time. And Wyandanch does not border Dix Hills - Wheatley Heights is in between.
