Whats a shame is the area I live in is really super nice with tons of young families and young kids playing all the time. I guess that attracted us to that area in the first place. it's a shame all the riff raff in a neighboring town can cause me to be this uneasy about buying there. guess I have to get a really sophisticated alarm system? ugh

GC is one of the most beuatiful towns on LI but its proximity to hard core gangs and crime is very unsettling.

Nassau needs to take Hempstead back.

Any sort of reviatlization/improvements in the area would be good news for GC.
Hempstead may be worse than Jamaica these days.

I imagine the folks in Jamaica Estates have similar concerns to GC.
Its more urban but the contrasts are similar.

unsettling to who? Certainly not the vast majority of GC residents.
