It heated up during the last bubble too, then dropped like a stone. Good luck. Not much changes. $70k price drops didn't start the wave. Took 9 yrs and another housing bubble. Sadly Mastic is always the last to rise and first to fall. Then there's the flooding. I almost scored a beauty in 2005 for $150k, amazing views. It's gone now, washed out to sea. In fairness, though it's not the worst looking place in some spots and not the most gang troubled, so value wise, still enticing. But thinking a new ambulance building is "development" is foolish...and unless they get the sewer plan, retail ain't happening.
A lot has changed since then. For one there was a financial crisis, which changed the mentality, culture, and spending habits of certain generations. Particularly that of baby boomers and millennials. Secondly, there was Superstorm Sandy, which has done wonders for the local ecosystem, and brought funding opportunities to the area for infrastructure.
The new ambulance facility will be much appreciated by the snowbird community that will be flocking to Mastic Beach to escape the hot Florida summers.
Ease up on the personal attacks if you can't come up with a decent of enough argument.
Mastic is a dump full of junkies and lowlifes. No one wants to live there. Many who bought there can't even make their initial (meager) investment back upon sale so they are forced to rent (on the cheap) to the only folks who will live there...the aforementioned junkies and lowlifes.
There's your argument. Having said that, you are nuts.
I was gonna say they already have section 8 but this is different.
Good. I'd rather see the money go towards something like this instead of feeding and housing some skells.
What is wrong with getting homes for the homeless?

Again with the personal attacks because you lack evidence to back up your silly claims. How about some stats?
Almost as good as changing your name TO Shirlmastic Beach....
Hello black kettle.
Enjoy having conversations with yourself in here!
No conversation with self. Just pointing out all the recent articles on the area that, for whatever weird reason, you don't want written. I'm sorry if the publications offend you, but it is obvious there is a recent increase in coverage. You should bring up your distaste for the area directly with the media outlets airing them.
Really? I’m counting 4 back to back posts by you days apart, desperately trying to get someone to take your bait.
It’s cool though, I’ll bump all these threads in 5 years when everything is exactly the same. See ya then.
