There seems to be an overwhelming number of threads regarding the bad....High taxes, crime rising, corrupt service providers, illegal immigrants, people can't wait to get off the island (and move to NC!), the # of LI restaurants featured on "Kitchen Nightmares" etc, etc...

Please tell me what is good about living on LI!
I just moved back to LI from NC....NY beats NC anyday!!

You mean you were actually in Mecca and you abandoned your 6 bedroom 8 bathroom McMansion with the 6 car garage to come back to live in this hovel, LI? What went wrong? Were the kids being bussed to attend school in a trailer 65 miles away? Was your 9 year old boy chewing tobacco and missing the spittoon all the time? Did the summer humidity that is like having a gigantic dog breathe its wet smelly breath on you finally do you in?

Hehehe. Welcome back!
