[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most white neighborhoods discriminated against black homebuyers until around the 1970-80s. I don't think was specific to Long Island. However, I grew up in both LI and the south. I recall people in LI being far more blatantly racist than in the south. But, yet they somehow don't think of themselves as "racist." It's those rednecks in the south who are the "real racists." The main problem with LI is that it is too expensive, with no real justification. Dinky, 100-year homes, in need of maintenance, that are an hour outside of the city are $500-1000K. The only good jobs are in the city unless you are lucky enough to have some kind of union or overpaid government job. The traffic is bad too. Basically, LI combines NY cost-of-living and taxes with Deep South wages, education standards, and culture. The only reason why I would ever move back is that I have family there.[/quote] Deep south education standards? LI has some of the best public schools in the country. But I agree with most everything else you said.[/quote]
