Are there any parts of LI where you can score a big home for a cheap sticker price like you can in some southern states? (Plainview: crime, new construction)

Bushwick and Bed-Stuy are nowhere near the water. And even today their streets are still rougher than anywhere else on Long Island, yet they are still marketable. Nobody thought these neighborhoods would be fetching the real estate prices they are getting today a couple decades ago. Nobody.
Maybe we compare to Mastic Beach and Shirley then if gentrifiers need waterfront so badly.
Yo just tell em it's all a wrap anyway...

I'm contemplating buying land in some rundown neighborhood on Long Island and pumping up the hype blowing the minds off these Long Islanders. Next thing you know they'll be spending their Saturday nights drinking wine at my art studio in Wyandanch, Coram, or Mastic.
My family is originally from the Bronx and the very last hung in there until 1980. My late uncle would say something very similar to what you have written.
"The Bronx will come back. It is too close to Manhattan and easy subway access."

You guys are out of your minds. Before a pos like wyandanch ever gentrified, a place like Freeport, which has way more going for it, would have to gentrify. Be real. Reputations are hard to change on LI.
You just don’t get it. Go buy that big house in Wyandanch and come talk to us in 15-20 years!

On li nice areas get more expensive and crappy neighborhoods stay crappy. This is how it works. The danch will never become gentrified. There are some nicer homes in Wheatley heights they only sell for more money since it's half hollow hill schools not the danch.
Yes. Uniondale,Roosevelt, etc. Way before the danch.
