Whoohoo shout out to Walt Whitman HS! Nice video, but would have loved if the background music came in and out, rather than just playing throughout. Keep going to represent Long Island because not many RU-vidrs covering this area!
People have been leaving Long Island pretty much since the late 90's! I know a whole family of 10 that moved out of Suffolk county along with another neighbors family all at once. There are some that do move back, but the vast majority don't.
1:54 I live in suffolk county. Great place. Ronkonkoma has a lake that I don’t recommend going to but its biggest in the island. Every year 1 man dies in that lake, my mom’s friend died there once. The Hampton and pat house are nice and rich, smith point to the Long Island Sound, but the cons. Yes yes, the cons. Long Island is known for its tales, stories, both true and fake. The lady of the lake ronkonkoma, the Brookhaven labs, and the montauk project. The montauk project is literally stranger things, it sparked the idea of it. There were physics, the radios were buggy, there was a lab with a gigantic antenna, but there were no upside down. Sometimes you have to use your imagination. Overall, Long Island is a 8.5 out of ten. I recommend it but just know what you’re doing.
DON'T CANCEL YOUR CAR INSURANCE BEFORE MOVING!!!! Even a single day of no insurance will be considered a lapse in coverage. Only a couple companies will insure you, and IF they do, you will be paying over $1000 a month for insurance. It makes no sense, but it is what it is. I sold my car, canceled the insurance, and moved cross country, bought a car, aaaaand had to create a miracle in order to get affordable insurance.
Hey guys im from los angeles calif,then denver ,but im going alone to long island,as im an automotive/aircraft tech.Will I like it there,its got to be better than boulder colorado,what a piece o crap.ive got to get to the biggest cities in the country,tell me what you guys think.and im pretty skilled and dirt poor.
@@cornelsmithrealestate I grew up on the East End and have lived all over the island. The Crime, High Prices, High Taxes, high vehicle insurance. I have since watched a few videos like this and it seems like none of You are really from Long Island and only mention the good things. And also the fact that Brooklyn and Queens are deff on Long Island. Nobody pays a toll for a bridge or tunnel to get from Nassau or Suffolk to get to Queens or Brooklyn. I would deff like to see someone who is in real estate to tell the truth about this place and not just trying to sell houses and get more people to move here because when they get here and face the reality, Im sure folks like You are Long gone.
Forgot to mention 1 HUGE statistic - CRIME You also forgot to mention JOBS on Long Island. People are fleeing Long island due to rise in crime, and lack of JOBS, after Gruman. fairchild & Unisys left, there arent really good jobs on long ispand, and working in NYC is terrible (long commutes & safety)
Can’t deny that there are some/many people leaving Long Island. Crime on Long Island does occur, though it isn’t as bad as a lot of places… or extremely crime ridden.
I did mention the Long Island Divided expose’… a study/report about housing discrimination in Long Island. Long Island does lack diversity in some (some may say a lot of areas). There are also pockets/places on Long Island that are diverse/multicultural
