LI is trash..simple as that I had to move out here about a year ago to get my shyt together and I can't wait later this year to move back to the boros

I'm in the suffolk county area and this shyt feels like I'm down south. A bunch of weirdos out here and its annoying walking into places with people looking like :dwillhuh:because your the only black person around.

The 1st month of me living here I pull up to where I live and i'm pulling out the keys to open the door, A car pulls up and a CAC with his family rolls down his windows and the guy cac says
CAC - "What are you just knocking on their door? You don't look like you live here. Do you rent or something?" :mjpls:

shyt caught me off guard like a motherfukker :what:

Me - "Mind your fukking business and get the fukk outta here, don't ever ask me no dumb shyt like that again fakkit"

CAC wife - :merchant: "We just wanted to say hello"

Then they sped off...How you just wanted to say "hello" asking me some bullshyt like that?


Only good thing I could take from LI is having your own living space and i guess low crime. But when you from the hood you know how to handle different situations and you get like a 6th sense for fukkery. You've pretty much seen it all so nothing here would shock me.

If you enjoy being the only black person at the bar then this is the place for you :camby:

Long Island is straight if you're looking for something more laid back and/or to build a family.

Keep it in Nassau and in the black towns. Nassau is also very close to the Boroughs and has a decent density.

A friend of mine is from Uniondale and I started fukking with his barber so I was out there often. Pretty decent place. A lot of middle class Jamaicans.

Elmont is nice too, it's basically east Queens but technically is right outside the border so it's Long Island.

Hempstead and Westbury can get a bit slummy but it's cool.

Uniondale and Elmont I recommend.

I got people in Amityville which looks more & more like Queens every time I'm there. The further east you go the more cac you get. If I had to live there I'd stay in Nassau county.
With those taxes? :comeon: that's why we moved to Florida. Place is too damn expensive. I was up there valentines weekend and it's frigid in the winter. The Italian restaurants are :noah: though. Suffolk county looks real nice in the snow though, rocky point in particular.

I said if I had to live there :upsetfavre: Closer to the city & I've seen more Black people/neighborhoods I'd rather live in than Suffolk. I'm considering moving to Florida too. Only good thing about east Long Island are those outlet malls & Splish Splash

Yeah if I still lived there I would rather be in the city. Less expensive than Nassau county. Already did that. Florida is where it's at. Better weather and lower cost of living.

Long Island is garbage. Everything is overpriced, overhyped. People are morons who claim NYC but its just a suburb like any other. Most live in trash 3 bedroom houses that cost $500,000 :russ:

I live upstate so I've been there enough to form an opinion. Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens I love but it stops there. They should just break off and be their own state or sink into the ocean. We'd all be happy to wave goodbye :camby:
