What do you think about Long Island, New York?

[newworldafro]

Lot of new development happening out there.... http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1649693

Cant imagine moving all the way to NYC from Buffalo just to live in Long Island.

I mean if you gonna make that jump, you might as well go all in and live in the city right?

Stay away from Hempstead, Roosevelt, Uniondale, Rosedale, freeport is ok but its getting bad. If you are Haitian try Elmont. Nothing but Haitian bbqs all summer, no matter what block you are on Kompa Music and good food what else can you ask for? and it doesn't matter if you know the people having the bbq just say Pierre is your uncle. Every Haitian family has an uncle Pierre.

Isn't Long Island basically the model for red-lining and segregation?

Yea it was. Levittown was the first suburb developed in America and the deeds on most houses specifically said black people could not live there.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levittown,_New_York

Levittown stated that the property could not be used or rented by any individuals other than those of the Caucasian race.[10] Before the sale of Levittown homes began, the sales agents were aware that no applications from black families would be accepted. As a result American veterans who wished to purchase a home in Levittown were unable to do so if they were black.[11

Thing is what happened in Levittown happened everywhere in America. The world didn't end up this way for no reason, it was made that way. But I digress...

Yeah breh I'm a heavy handed tipper lol. Pm me your business into.

Do you strictly do longer trips like LI to nyc/airport or do you also do local stuff? I go out for drinks almost every thurs night w my boys (like 3-5 mile trips to spots like kyma in roslyn village, peddler in greenvale etc) and I've been hitting up uber because I can't be fukking w dwis like that. Local police don't play. If you're around in the area those times I'll pass your info along.

Mostly longer runs. Make way more that way. My friend from Great Neck are in the process of providing "drink and get driven" service in northern shore of long island. Im aware of dwi laws in nassau...we gonna cater to private events people have. Ill be making 1000 per night, just getting the legal shyt done...letting my friend handle that since he is financing it. I just wanna drive lol. I couldnt PM you. PM me your email and ill send you my info.

LI is trash GTFOH

Lived in elmont, franklyn square and valley stream for some years with my moms

None of those towns aint shyt, borin as fukk, miserable people, n everybody wants to leave once they finish high school, only the loosers stick around...

None of them r nice suburbs... Of course u got rich towns with some nice mansions but u wont find any black ppl livin there

My suggestion is if u willin to pay upwards of 500,000 dollars for a shytty three bedroom house, u might as well pay that for a smaller apartment in the city

Unless u settlin down n want to start a family in a borin ass place dont go there

There seems to be an increasing number of people moving from Eastern Queens (and elsewhere in NYC) to Nassau.

That's been a constant flow since the 90s. Housing market + high school performances on standardized test create the ebb and flow.

I do hear that Long Island is very segregated but there are notable exceptions.

Any nikka who been to Hempstead know that town don't play. I used to be on front street, not far from Terrace Ave. The Terrace Ave. Anybody who don't know Google hempstead terrace ave. nikka I grew up in the BX during the most violent era and I have never seen as much open air crime and drug selling like on Terrace. Only thing that came close was shyt you saw on episodes of the wire. That one block humbled me in knowing that the city ain't the only place that real shyt go down.

Terrace ave is no fukking joke. Used to hear stories in high school so had to check it out i was like

used to hit up the shacks off peninsula back in the high school days if you know what I mean
