Nassau county isn't the best place to live but certainly not the worst.
But, here, in my opinion, you don't get what you pay for....unlike other places.
Three quarters of a million dollars for a 50 year old house that still needs work and updates isn't a bargain, and outright ridiculous.
Mediocre or below average public services (trash, snow removal, LIRR)
15k property taxes for a 100x100 lot.
Unbearable traffic without widening the roads or updating infrastructure.
Illegal immigration problem.
Meanwhile, in other states like FL, GA, NC or SC, you can get a new construction 3000 sq foot house for 400k and 4k in property taxes. Without the deathly cold winters of NY.
Sunshine and palm trees.
So, if you're the type of person that doesn't work in Manhattan and doesn't go to the city for entertainment or lesiure, then what does NY really have to offer?
Not even close, FL, GA, NC, TN housing prices are through the ROOF just like LI. Even the property taxes in FL are starting to get nuts in some counties. Basically any desirable area in the country right now with plentiful jobs has crazy inflated housing costs. You can still save on property taxes elsewhere of course, but the days of selling your LI home making a ton of money on it and then going down to say Charlotte or Tampa area and buying a huge new mcmansion on the cheap with money to spare are over.
When you dominate all three branches of government anything can happen.
I'm strictly thinking in terms of what is on the books. There are rare/select exceptions to this, but are usually related to uninhabited land owned by the village or city: https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/GMU/706
So, there has to be specific circumstances that include ownership of uninhabited land or very rare cases where services provided would serve the best interests of a property owner(s).
I liken it to how the Big 5 school districts in the state NYC, Buffalo, Yonkers, Rochester and Syracuse can not be consolidated into a county school district system due to essentially being departments of the cities they serve and constitutional stipulations. This is a blog entry about that: http://gs4a.org/a-consolidated-count...-in-the-cards/

Any place not run by insane liberals and their nonsensical policies are having a real estate boom.

Please tell us again how you are an Asian Dr. that cuts his own lawn. It's riveting and we haven't heard about it in the past few hours. The political stuff is boring and predictable.

He's not wrong though, liberal policies both here on LI and in NYC are one of the main contributors and factors of why people are leaving NY in droves (aside from the taxes). Soft on crime, no cash bail laws, catch and release, CRT being taught in schools, all white people are bad, transgender men competing in women's sports, and have you seen Manhattan and the subways lately? It's like the crack era again.
No one to blame there but super progressive liberal politicians like DeBasio and their crazy policies the last 5-10 years or so.
There's many nicer places to live than LI. However LI can still be a good place.
On one hand, many are leaving and I get why. On the other hand, LI is a great place to earn enough where you eventually can move elsewhere and significantly upgrade.
It's living and working here which affords many the opportunity to sell, buy a larger house down south and stash a few hundred thousand more in the bank.

See my last post, the days of making a mint on a LI house and getting a significant upgrade In any really desirable location down south and having a ton to spare is pretty much in the past for now. Housing has gotten insane everywhere unless you want to move to the styx.

It’s off the hook out in the sticks too. All them folks wanting to escape to “the country”.
Agree. Back in the day you could sell here in the NYC metro areas and then buy a winter home in Florida then a summer home in likes of NC, Virginia, etc. Not anymore.
