really played myself with my comment from 2019 but now I live in Long Island. Growing up in the city and only going to long island like a couple times in my life, and seeing how different it is compared to the city, it was just something I hated. The pandemic changed all that I needed a bigger space so here I am. The house that you get is a lot better than what you pay for in the boroughs, not to mention the school districts. It's not bad, a lot of driving. Good thing is that there's parking everywhere so if you love driving, it's way better than the boroughs. If you live near a train station, the commute is pretty good to penn station, just a lot more expensive. I don't miss living in an apartment with little space and shyt neighbors. It's nice having your own space and backyard. The food definitely isn't as good but I would say it's 80% there compared to the city depending on what you want to eat. It's also nice going out for walks and you're the only one walking most of the time.
