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? (New York: condo, mobile home)

That subway ride to Manhattan is like being in hell compared to driving the convertible from Moriches to Montauk. This morning the subways were all f'd up, and hot as the core of the earth. Then you got the smelly homeless guy squeezing through going car by car.
I can't even begin to imagine how horrible the QOL must be in the Hampton Bays then if this place called Brooklyn is held on such a high pedestal from people out east.
Cause they thinkin with the LIRR mentality
"Its closer"
Let them experience what that train ride is really like every day
Haha

Have you experienced a 1-1/2 hour LIRR ride each way? On a line which struggles to hit 90% on time? Where there are significant delays at least weekly and a major delay at Penn at least 1-2x a month? I have.

They shut my subway line down for almost an entire year.
I thought once a property goes section 8 it stays section 8? If you go to sell the new owner has to keep the section 8. If that's the case and I'm not sure it is, those nabes will never recover.

Have you experienced
Showtime?
Homeless?
Smells?
Vomit?
Rats?
Fights?
But neither here or there
Public transportation has its issues in the NYC metro area regardless.

The type of people who are willing to spend 4 hours of their spare time commuting are likely very desperate people. Some may be well paid but, most must have no other option. More like the Poconos type folk. Not to many gentrifyers there!!

Still not the same as being 60 miles away from home, Penn Station jammed full of people, all trains stopped due to a fire in the tunnel and no clue of when you are getting home.
You could have taken an Uber or a cab. Waaaaah. NYC commuting is not the same as the LIRR. Sorry.

Agreed. Even in western Nassau you have workarounds if the LIRR goes down, the bus/subway alternative.

I used to spend 4 hours a day commuting from queens and at the time, there weren't too many alternatives.
