I don't know if there will be a migration back, but I can definitely see a smaller percentage moving to Florida. The baby boomers that are retiring now were the ones that started reversing the city to suburb trend in the 80's so I expect that many of them will retire in cities. Still with so many more retiring, Florida could still be booming even with a smaller percentage. |

Most NYC residents are surprised to hear about suburbs with high crime rates. Regarding 'working class' towns. Do you think that they are getting worse, headed towards 'Roosevelt' or holding their own? I've felt for a long time that the working class in America is in decline. Many working class people emulate ghetto behavior in public.I grew up in well-off Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. I guess we were wealthy by 1960s and 70s standards but not millionaires. We had white-collar and blue-collar neighbors and everyone behaved in the same middle-class way. I don't see that today and can't figure out why. If you talk to people who haved moved out of the city you get the sense that in some subtle ways the middle-class is fleeing the working class. They don't want their college-bound kids mingling with the trouble-making working-class students. What is going on? |

Incidents? None of the locations you mention were any better 10 or 20 years ago, in fact, they are much better.Howard Stern grew up in Roosevelt, and it was a hellhole back then, he always knocked the place. And how old is Howard? |

I don't see a problem with working class towns like let's say "Deer Park" getting bad. They are strong communities, stable middle class working people. As for the behavior you are talking about, I think you may see some of that in Mastic or Shirley. They are solid communities, certainly not "ghetto", but they are lower middle class or upper low class. Picture a neighborhood like Roseanne's "Landford"....that's the sort of place Shirley, or more so Mastic is. You probably would see the behavior you are describing there....but then again, you would have 20 years ago too, so it hasn't gotten worse by any means....in fact, it's probably better than it was back then. |

Not that color defines a community, but Howard often said he was the only white kid in his whole class. And that was in the 60's.Brentwood deteriorated by the 70's already. I said 20 years ago, not 40 years ago. |

Wasn't Howard exposed as a liar by a class photo or something like that? Some people will say "the school is all black" once it reaches a percentage not to their liking, when it's not even close to 100%. Howard seems like such a person.I just remember going to Brentwood starting in the 70's and it was not deteriorated. If you pass Brentwood, you should check out the "Fuck You Cop 1145" graffiti on the empty Rite-Aid at 5th and the LIRR tracks. |

Lower middle class to upper low class. That's not saying it's bad. It's a sort of salt of the earth sort of neighborhood. |

As for "bad" areas....if you want to compare to South Central, LI has some suburban slums like Roosevelt, Wyandanch, Freeport, Gordon Heights, Coram Hill, Hempstead, and others.If those places are slums then they are worse than South Central as I don't consider South Central to be a slum. I guess that a large part of it is a so-called ghetto (not like the east coast), but it has many, many suburban style neighborhoods with well kept homes and manicured lawns. It doesn't even have much crime compared to major east coast cities. Just a higher than average number of murders and violent crimes because of gangs, but that's been getting better for the most part. |

Meanwhile, I had to pull of 95 when a strong thunderstorm with tornado warnings passed the Goldsboro area. I ended up waiting it out in a McDonald's until it died down. |

I went to school there for four years and always felt safe. Unfortunately, this stigma attached to Brentwood is one reasons why my high school there is now closing, because the rich parents didn't want send their kids to Brentwood.Hell, some four-year-old shot me with a BB gun walking home from Islip train station two years after my town was named the safest in the US by Money magazine. Spota just arrested 100 in a herion bust, many from tonier parts of town. A Blood was just arrested in East Islip. |

In reality, the worst areas of Long Island such as Roosevelt and New Castle are 1,000 times better than the worst areas of the city. I drive through Roosevelt occasionally and it looks like any other L.I. suburb, it certainly doesn't look like Brownsville. |

Yes, I heard about this. It was a domestic violence case, in which the cops were called to. While this wasn't a good guy by any stretch, it wasn't attempted murder, as apparently, the guy didn't actually shoot the cop, but the gun went off when it fell to the ground. They will probably be able to slap reckless endangerment on the guy, as well as illegal possession of a weapon, but I don't think he will get attempted murder.That said, the cop is very lucky to be alive. 1818 Menahan St is probably between Onderdonk Ave and Woodward Ave. |

Many middle classers couldn't afford to send their kids there without aid or scholarships. It depended heavily on full-tuition students and parents who dropped money on fundraising and such.I'm curious as to what parts of Islip are bad - I've lived here for 26 years and there aren't any parts that really match up to what you're describing as a problem. |

Then the kids parents will have to rent the basement illegally, or call the grandparents in Boca Raton for the tuition money, or deal with metal detectors and gang shootings at Brentwood. Just like middle class families in Queens find a way to send their kids to Christ The King, Lutheran, or other private high schools.It just seems like that whole area, mainly Brentwood, are in the news quite often, and it's never good. Perhaps I was wrong for including Islip in any way. |

You need an advanced degree to figure out LI geography. Whenever you start in with the different towns, villages, etc. I can't follow what you are talking about. There should be incorporated places (towns/cities) and unincorporated places. Most important is that these different designated places should not overlap as they seem to. |

They don't overlap...they all have their own zip codes, they are official boundaries.But that said, yes, if you don't know the geography, some of Long Island's names don't make sense. Speaking of Islip, I may as well use that as an example.... If just using the South Shore, you have West Islip, Islip, and East Islip. "East Islip" is east of "Islip", so that makes sense, But to make things confusing, where would you think "West Islip" is? Wouldn't you say, "West of Islip"? Well you would be wrong, you first have to go through Bayshore and Brightwaters, which are west of Islip. THEN you will come to "West Islip" which is next to Babylon....... Now where do you think "Central Islip" is? Well it's not in the middle of any of the Islips on the South Shore, it's north of them..... And then of course, you also have Islip Terrace. And please let's not confuse any of these Islip names with the vast Town of Islip, which encompasses all of them, and also includes Oakdale, Bayport, Sayville, Great River, Bohemia, parts of Ronkonkoma, and many other hamlets and villages. Did I confuse you yet????? :) |

Crime in Brentwood is less than half the national average.I see that it's majority Hispanic. Is that the problem that you have with Brentwood? A new culture in town? I can understand that. |

Send their kids to school there?You're a big mouth who talks shit, but you wouldn't let your kids grow up there. |

I already live in a majority Hispanic area, that also has lots of blacks and Asians, so I know about culture clash. I don't know what Brentwood is like, but it's probably not much worse than where I live now. And you're right about one thing. I don't send my kids to school here. |

It's fact, and that's something most can't deal with.They just buried a kid from Brentwood today, after being stabbed in a gang initiation. There were two shootings earlier this month, all involving Hispanics. I don't have a problem with Brentwood. I told you I was out there. |

If we're strictly discussing the Islips, no, they're simply designated places (aka hamlets by NYS government speak) with no governments of their own. They're unincorporated areas of the Town of Islip which performs basic services like parks, sanitation, animal control, development zoning, and some street maintenance, while police is done at the county level, and fire and schools are run by special districts that generally correspond to the designated places. |

Just like middle class families in Queens find a way to send their kids to Christ The King, Lutheran, or other private high schools.Queens residents don't pay $10,000 in property taxes like their Long Island counterparts, and IIRC, NYC income tax is only burdensome compared to property taxes for the highest income groups... |
