      I totally understand what you mean. I’ve never been to NY but I was born and raised in Houston TX. It’s definitely not the city I grew up in as I’m sure Long Island is to you. It hits me me because nobody will ever know what it was like to have “local TV commercials or radio ads” where you felt a sense of closeness to the city. Seems like it’s all gone these days.
      I miss the days of people getting to know their neighbors and actually caring about news like what they are talking about in this video.
      I know we live(grew up)in different areas of the country but I’m glad to see that values aren’t all that different! 😊

    Was born in 1962 my parents moved to Long Island In 64 and I remember how nice it was growing up. I remember many of those pictures in this video. It is sad that business has such a narrow vision as to overcrowd every place in the quest for more money, and destroy the beauty of a nice life to raise kids and family . You could let your kids out during the day and they can go playing in the neighbourhood and didn't have to worry about them being hurt, molested, or kidnapped. The reason was because the majority were good people, and if your kids screamed when he was away from the house somebody would step in and protect the situation, as they know you would if something happened near your house. Now we just have a crap world of shit people that would rather video someone being hurt then step in and help , so they could get Instagram hits. At least Umberto's pizza is still there.

      I completely hear you, unfortunately I was just working almost 90 miles east of Elmont in Sag Harbor, I can’t believe its even spread to the east end! I used to love L.I. Now I want out! So wish I was at least upstate or somewhere on the mainland, I’m only here for my immediate family, other then that, I’d be out! You have to make a good amount of money to live in the NYC/Long Island area and I don’t do bad but the dream of owning a house in Long Island is just that a dream! I work high end construction, I have been in apartments that were well over 90 million dollars! Ridiculous! A house here that’s 500,000 dollars is 70,000 dollars almost everywhere else in America, I love my country but definitely not L.I. Freaking shame, this situation is destroyed the American dream!

    I grew up here, North Fork, still fairly rural looking from the family home, so long as you don’t venture too far! And yes, rents and real estate is only for the wealthy, especially after COVID. In 1953, my father purchased a four bedroom home on 7.5 acres, for $12,000. There were nine of us, supported on one income from US Navy, later, Grumman, then Brookhaven Laboratory. We had one car, a 12” black and white RCA TV with rabbit ears. We got three-five channels, weather depending. Most of our time outside of school was spent doing chores and playing outside.

      @Kilo Byte I mean, there's no point arguing it really. Some people may be leaving for those reasons, some people are leaving for other never before considered reasons endemic to 2020/2021... I also happen to know for sure there are plenty of people taking the opportunity to move into NYC.. more than you think. NYC is NYC. As long as it's iterally above water it will be desirable to certain people for thier own reasons.

      @Kilo Byte The scamdemic? Okay now I know what I'm dealing with... Nevermind. Not worth trying to have an intelligent discourse. But I guess I will try anyway...Bottom line, NYC will always be desirable, but it will go through cycles for a variety of reasons. And there will always be people like you who hate on it for your own reasons, big whoop it means nothing. As I said, I know more than a few people who moved to or are preparing to move to NYC over the past year, or have taken the opportunity to upgrade their living conditions. I know people who have moved out too. If the population declines so be it, prices will correct and then people who left because it's too expensive will return. I lived in NYC for ten years until I bought a place in Westchester right before Covid began, but guess what?, someone from Virginia bought our place in Manhattan and moved in smack in the middle of Covid unfazed by it. We continue to own rental property in Brooklyn that is doing just fine.
