Mastic Beach and Shirley are fine. I just went to Shirley about 2-3 weeks ago at night to finally eat at the Roy Rogers there and didn't have a problem.

Uh...what kind of problem were you expecting? It's a restaurant. The whole area is the hood. No one WANTS to live there, they HAVE to live there.
Well, I can tell by you using the adjective "the hood" to describe ghettos that you're probably not that street smart right at the bat, so maybe to people like you it is ghetto. "The Hood" is a rather discriminatory/degrading term primarily used by people who take rap music a tad too seriously.
To normal people though that know better than to stare at black people who somehow don't live in fancy $100,000 homes walking down the street, Mastic Beach and Shirley are not ghettos.
Seriously though, have people who live there told you themselves that they hate living there, or are you saying that based on your own perception of the area? One man's "ghetto" can be another man's paradise you know...

This whole reply is laugh-worthy. You're arguing semantics. The area, quite bluntly, is a ****hole. The whole area could burn to the ground and no one would even notice for weeks, much less care. The area is one of the roughest in the county, and to answer your question, yes, I do know people who live there, and they want out. One young lady told me "I hate living in the hood." YOU brought race into this conversation. It has nothing to do with black or white.
