If your wife reads this, you're in trouble. Would be funny if she checks to see what you post.I'd say that a big chunk of the swing scene is into interracial, or gang bangs. It's really not even a swing scene anymore. It's a cuckold scene it seems. |

What surprises me is the quantity of street crimes on Long Island. It was supposed to be the escape from the City. Now, it is the City.Quantity! LOL!!! As he said, it's way lower than most places. Of course, if all you do in your free time is read the Newsday Police Blotter, you will see crime. But you always would have, crime is nothing new on LI. |

Who's reading the blotter? These are headlines on their website. Takes a minute to read the articles.No one is saying crime is new on LI. I'm saying the street violence involving gangs, including stabbings and shootings, is something I don't remember back in the late 70's or early 80's. I don't think the violent gangs were an issue like they are today. Even Suffolk police recently addressed this issue. |

Vicious Robbery? or a couple of bullies?An older teen punched a younger teen in the face and took his money and probably his cell phone. Unless there's a whole lot more to this story it sounds like nothing that hasn't happened every weekend in every town USA for the last 100 years. CG |

The Latino gangs and the shootings and stabbings associatd with them are a growing concern for people on LI, regardless of what you bar graphs say. Hhahahahahahahah! Yes, it's really a concern for me in the 15 years I have been living here, I am scared out of my wits. |

I'm familiar with Newsday's selective omissions of the race in their description of suspected criminals, but I'd be surprised if the suspects in this case were anything other than white.I'm so distrustful of Newsday that I almost think the only reason this is a "story" is so that they can put in one of their non-description descriptions of white suspects. |

I read it last week. It's about Wyandanch. Still, the problems with LI gangs, shootings, and stabbings seem far more common today, than back in the 70's and 80's. |

Over the last few months, Newsday is having a field day with the printing the pictures of 20-something white heroin junkies who go breaking into houses to support their habits.You generally can't go more than two or three days without one of these stories. While the rise in such crimes due to a possible rise in heroin use is a story, it's hard to believe that each individual instance of property crimes is a news story -- or that these are the only break-ins occurring on LI. |

When you moved out to LI, it wasn't a concern when you went house hunting? I mean, you picked your home, I assume, in a neighborhood that would not have the problems we always hear about in the towns with 25%-60% Latino population. |

It's less "ethnic/racial" in the neighborhood I live in now than when I moved here. It's less black, more white. Never was much of a Hispanic presence here now or then, but I would guess there are slightly more hispanics now than when I moved here. But not on my particular block.One of the notoriously worst neighborhoods in Suffolk County is just across the railroad tracks, a classic right and wrong side of the tracks community, and has been for 40-50 years. It too is way better than it was 15 years ago, but it's still not nice. It went to hell there in the 60's, totally crumbled by the 80's, and has slowly (very slowly) been recovering since then (but it is still a high crime area compared to other parts). |

It went to hell there in the 60's, totally crumbled by the 80's, and has slowly (very slowly) been recovering since then (but it is still a high crime area compared to other parts).Sounds exactly like Asbury Park. I remember going to a cousins house in Amityville, RIGHT BY BRUNSWICK HOSPITAL!!!!! Went there twice a year for years. It was mostly black, and you could see some of the poverty(or lack of upkeep of homes), but you just didn't have the drive-by shootings and stabbings you hear about today. |

I left NYC ("escaped") because I no longer want to live in an urban enviroment. I like open space (I have a few acres, and most of the lots on my block are large). I don't like living on top of people. I like being able to come home at any time of the day or night and not have to worry about parking the car, I just pull into the driveway. I like grass instead of concrete.That said, while I lived in Ridgewood, it was probably about 95% white (I also lived in Bushwick a very short time, but near the Ridgewood border). I moved to a "suburban" area who's community stats wera at the time about 65% white. (Mostly because of the neighborhood that is part of my community, but is across the railroad tracks). You probably wouldn't last a day in the deli I buy my breakfast sandwich in some mornings, just across the tracks... Your average person from some lily-white community would be rocking in their boots. But it's way better tasting bacon/egg/cheese than any of the delis in nearby "not as questionable" locations. I have never had any problems....the worst thing that ever happened to me was I was once called a "cracker" by some 4 year old Black kid on a bicycle. It was more funny (in a sad way) than anything I would need to worry about. |

You most definitely had the "drive by shootings and stabbings" in the 1970's and 80's. It still goes on (you even posted an article about a driveby there last year, where some kid was killed), but it was way worse in the 70's and 80's....by a long shot. |

You probably wouldn't last a day in the deli I buy my breakfast sandwich in some mornings, just across the tracks..That makes no sense. None. I worked for NYCT, finishing work in the worst areas of NY at 2, 3, 4 in the morning. Lived in NY most of my life, and always rode subways at all hours of the night. In Tampa, 1/2 my subdivision is minority. My neighbors are black. More diverse area than where most Chatters live. That's the thing about up north. You rarely see truly diverse areas like where I live here. Especially where liberals are found. Liberals hate living with blacks. That's why I got such a laugh out what is happening in Westchester, forcing white liberals to live with minorities. |

They just caught one of the guys in this case. He's an illegal, and was living in North Carolina. Face it, Hispanics are like 10% of Suffolk, but seem to represent 90% of the shootings and stabbings in that county. I don't know why, but that seems to be the case, based on the stories I read. |

Fair enough, I forgot you used to work for Transit.That's the thing about up north. You rarely see truly diverse areas like where I live here. Especially where liberals are found. Liberals hate living with blacks. You know, the more I think about that, you may be on to something there. Look at some of the more "conservative" subchatters here. I am liberal on some issues, but always said I do sway right of center....and I live in a mixed neighborhood. Chris R27 lives on Jamaica Ave...., etc. I am sure some of the more liberal left leaning people here live in non-mixed neighborhoods. |

I am sure some of the more liberal left leaning people here live in non-mixed neighborhoodsYup. I have African-American neighbors to the west. Black Latino to the east. And when I say neighbors, I mean 20 feet away. Across the street, I got a white family with pick up trucks. Next to them, a family from Trinidad. It's very diverse. It's not like NY, where blacks are still limited to neighborhoods, like Laurelton, or Jamaica. The only real lib on this site who would live in a very diverse area, and buy a house next to a black family(or not sell when they move it) is SMAZ. |

Yes, my girlfriend lives on the Upper West Side, and that is most definitely true. She moved there from Center Moriches a few years back because she couldn't take the SCA types on the LIRR from Ronkonkoma anymore. It's made things a bit difficult of course, as there is no way I am moving to Manhattan, and for now, her job keeps here there, but it's been working out so far.Anyway, that said, I love my neighborhood. I am in between two totally different worlds. Across the tracks is one of the poorest, worst neighborhoods in Suffolk County. When I first moved here, and would drive home through the bad part of town late at night along Montauk Highway or Sta. Rd, the hookers would be walking up and down the road, as well as drug dealers.... You don't see that at all anymore, they really cleaned that all up. It really is much better. So I have that north of me, and south of me is a VERY affluent area, almost Hamptons like. Charlie Rose lives there (Liberal reporter), and I often see Isabella Rosselini (Movie Star, Ingrid Bergmann's daughter) walking on Main St in my town (the good part of town), and many other people....mostly rich Manhattan types..... So it really is the "best of both worlds" so to speak. |

Today you see more casually dressed men and a lot more women. It's probably due to the fact that men account for 80% of job losses in the current recession, and SCA-employing industries like finance and BIGLAW have been especially hard-hit. My LIRR/NYCT blog |

Ahhh, so that's why we haven't heard too many Ronkonkoma Branch complaints lately! :)I haven't taken the Ronkonkoma Branch in a while, for the last few months I have been either driving, or using the Montauk Branch. |

Population Density on L.I. |

Posted by Howard Fein on Mon Aug 17 11:20:09 2009, in response to Re: 2 Stabbed in Levittown(Re: Brentwood Long Island Shootings), posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Sat Aug 15 20:58:51 2009. Interesting analysis, but there's also a huge contrast between the North and South shores of Nassau County as far as population density. The South shore is, by and large, heavily settled with suburban tract housing the width of the county. Rockville Centre, Freeport and Long Beach have a large number of midrise elevator apartment buildings as well.But a lot of the North Shore above Northern Boulevard- with the exceptions of central Great Neck, Port Washington, the Glen Head/Sea Cliff/Glen Cove corridor, Bayville, downtown Oyster Bay- is surprisingly rural. Even parts of the Great Neck peninsula, which butts right up against the city line, features wetlands, large estates and roads that are very dark at night. It could be that Sands Point, the Plandomes, the Brookvilles and all of those surrounding Gold Coast communities were always heavily comprised of estates earlier in the century. In contrast, much of the rest of Nassau- especially the unincorporated areas of Hempstead and Oyster Bay townships in the middle- was largely farmland. As agriculture diminished around WWII, the land became fertile for tract housing. From what I can see, the North Shore of Suffolk seems somewhat more developed than that of Nassau, at least as far east of Wading River. There are some extremely wealthy, secluded pockets on the Sound- Asharoken, Nissequogue Belle Terre, and parts of Setauket come to mind. But the hugely developed Huntington, East Northport, Commack, Kings Park and Smithtown more closely resemble central and southern Nassau. |
