My wife and I have been looking into transition from Brooklyn out onto Long Island, preferably Nassau County. We have two little boys( 2 and 5 years old) as well. Can anybody suggest decent, safe, diverse towns? I was thinking about Valley Stream. But that incident with the racist cac harassing that Black woman gave me pause.

All I can say is good luck.

Breh...I'm in the same boat.
I am in BK, too. Fort Greene. Family is expanding and the co-op I own isn't big enough.
I just can't fathom living in Long Island...too scary regarding the experience my kids will have.
I also want them to be able to be "city kids" and know how to take the train, go to corner store, etc without looking like a deer in headlights.
I'm probably going to really settle down in Queens - St. Albans, Laurelton or Cambria Heights.
It fukking sucks that Brooklyn is unfathomably expensive.

Yeah man. I'm out in Flatlands and the house we're in just isn't making it anymore. Plus we don't have a driveway and it's a nightmare parking around here due to alternate side of the street parking being nonexistent. My sister-in-law just moved to Huntington and the space she has is tantalizing. But I'm really cognizant of that 'cism factor out there, especially with boys. I've heard about Freeport, Baldwin, and Wyndanch being "Black" but I know from personal experience Wyandanch is pretty hood.
