Born & raised in San Francisco, but my favorite aspect to The Island is the people!
Beaches Yes! Traffic and taxes, no bueno. You're supposed to say "forgettaboutit" lol. Love your channel Holly xo.
I actually thought of the Sopranos when I said that! But my Connecticut accent won't let me do it! Thank you so so much for your support my friend!! XOXOX
As a real estate person you oughta know that many people can't afford the high price houses on long island. Its a place that is cutting out the middle class.
I've never been to Long Island - but it sounds like I need to check out the beaches, vineyards, and museums!
The beaches and vineyards are awesome!!
Ive lived in NY all my life. Born upstate and lived on long island for most of it. You kind of get used to and accept the good with the bad but when you get out of the NY bubble you realize how much more laid back more affordable and less government controlling things are. To many of us it is like a breath of fresh air. I do have to say I love riding my bicycle all over the island (mostly Suffolk) on a real early Saturday or Sunday morning before the heavy traffic starts. especially on the north shore. When you slow down like that you appreciate the scenery.
Mastic Beach here , born and raised! now I live in North Carolina you can keep your high taxes your high-rent your traffic and your nonsense!! You couldn't pay me to move back there.
That’s what’s up Kevin. I’m moving soon.....
Thanks for sharing these pros and cons, Holly! An honest view on what it's like to live in Long Island!
It really is!
Love this Holly.
How could you not mention the food? Best pizza and bagels in the entire country
Omg! So true and I haven't had any in years...dang it! I grew up on Celestial lane 🤗🤗
Ikr
I'm from L.I.. and my wife is from Brooklyn, can't compare the 2 to be honest.
And Chinese Food!
@@davidkastin4240 really any kind of ethnic food is better here than most anywhere else in the country . I will concede that L.A. has better sushi but they’re right on the Pacific so that’s to be expected
The traffic is the worse. And too many people.
they ruined Long Island by building all these neighborhoods, cutting down the trees ....Long Island was beautiful years ago.....but I still love it here
Love LI and yes the restaurants. I miss the people. You know where you stand with them. We used to have block parties.
Great local insight, I think the Pros still outweigh the cons. Thank you for sharing this.
Totally agree!
But need to pay around $800 - $2000 monthly property taxes just to enjoy those so called Pros. I would say try out other states and settle down. You can always visit Long Island when you want to.
Lots of great info! Cannot wait to make it up to that area soon!
Come on up!
Great video on Living on Long Island. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I also love Long Island, but the property taxes are ridiculously high. You can thank the teacher's and police unions for that. Both professions are grossly and obscenely overpaid on Long Island. Still, I love living in the Three Village area! Thanks for a nice video!
Thanks for sharing
I
Don’t call the police next time your house is being robbed call a crackhead to save you. Or maybe these new social justice warrior volunteers hahahaha. I live on Long Island and that’s the top thing I hate.....a bunch of whiney entitled bitches
The fact that you think that teachers on Long Island are “grossly” overpaid when a large percentage of them who aren’t married have to take on side hustles just to keep afloat 😂oh please.
@@jada7323 Either you’re a teacher or you don’t think six figure salaries, summers off, lifetime health benefits and huge retirement pensions is being overpaid. My aunt is a retired teacher and she even admits she was highly overpaid. I pay for my own health benefits and I’m going to have to work till I’m at least 70. So give me a break! Do your whining elsewhere.
genebigs the average salary of a teacher in New York is 74k. I don’t know where you got six figures from. Summers off= no pay check and a bunch of planning for the next school year. A pension that we have to pay into in order to get just like any other 401k. I’m really trying to figure out what is so overpaid about that. You can’t even buy a home on your own with 74k a year in NY. if you think they make so much money then why didn’t you become a teacher instead of complaining about how your job is so hard and you’ll have to work until you’re 70? Why because teaching is too hard, they don’t make enough money? Since teaching is so easy and pays so well why didn’t you do it?
Great information... looking forward to visiting Long Island
Come!! Thanks so much for watching!
Great tips on what to do there 😊
Thank you!
Well done !!
Taxes are high, but in general, the quality of schools are excellent. Three villages has an excellent school district as an example. I actually live in the North Shore in Nassau county and our school system is one of the highest ranked nationally. And there are quite a few around me that are comparable. In speaking to folks outside of the area who pay much lower property taxes, I have found that the school systems are not comparable, and in fact, many folks decide to send their children to private schools to ensure they have a better quality education. When one factors in the cost of this private education, it more or less offsets the high taxes here. Just one person's experience and view. I certainly respect others.
Taxes are high enough. No need to raise them higher.
Very interesting. Thanks.
I grew up on Long Island, I bought a house in Bellport but I sold it in 2005 and moved to Puerto Rico because my wife wanted to be next to her aging mother. I stuck out because I'm a gringo lol. In 2017 I moved to Kansas after meeting a woman on line after my wife passed away. I do miss living on Long Island.
Hey fellow Long islander, Lol! I lived on Celestial Lane growing up...back in the day of Jolly Rogers ha! Ha! Live in southern California these days
@@lisalee2885 hi 👋 I grew up in Huntington Station then moved to Bellport, I know Celetial :) 😃 I lived on Sundial Ln. Small world it is lol.
@@K9-Crazy Woo! Hoo! Nice to meet you Brian 🤗 Where do you live now?

I was in NYC 4 years ago, but in those time, I could not to go to Long Island, but in my next travel to NYC, It will be the first place to go👍
Hope you can make it out!
@@TheODwyerBrainardTeam yes, I greet from Honduras🇭🇳in Long Island there are a lot hondurean people🇭🇳
I still live home. Cause I can't afford a house. I'm in Deer Park but I've been thinking of moving in a trailer park. There's a nice one in Bohemia.
Just like to say that your outfit had sold my house in Rocky Point Long Island 16 years ago had nothing too bad to say about you guys you guys did an awesome job back in the day Long Island was wonderful never wanted to leave but like you said too expensive and life in a human is very short got to enjoy something the other thing I don't like the weather Long Island weather whether it's the summer or winter can get to you I'm a summer person so I can't take the winters anymore the sunshine state is doing better for me
Proposition 13 get rid of those outrageous property taxes. That's why I left
I love this!
Im born and raised in LI and I've never heard of stink bugs.
Hello, from Uniondale.
The public transportation is terrible!!!!
I knew nothing about Long Island before. Thanks!
It's a great place!
There are free town beaches, You can learn how to manage traffic using back roads , there are some NY tax star deductions , Get a exterminator not all Long Island has bugs . You also forgot taxes support award winning school districts and top rated hospitals-in the country!
7 million people on Long Island Brooklyn queens Nassau and Suffolk to many people
There is nothing to do on Long Island. Is ohio 2
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What are the neighborhoods That are affordable?
Hempstead , wyandanche, new castle , Freeport...not by the water. Ammityville copaigue. Plenty of ghettos that are affordable on Long Island. She seemed to forget to mention those great places
None, only come to Long Island If you are willing to pay $1800 to $2000 for one bedroom apartment.
You forgot to mention how segregated the Long Island suburbs are
Nice I'm going to work for 6 months in Long Island I'm looking forward to it how's the violence? Any citys to avoid coming from Texas
Most of the crime is within NYC limits. If you are in Nassau or Suffolk county most areas are pretty good. I would suggest you research any town that you decide to reside in advance to ensure you are happy with your selection. One could argue this point, but you will generally find nicer areas, better schools or lower crime on the north shore. Best wishes in your relocation.
The only places where crime could be a problem is Roosevelt, Freeport, Hempstead, some parts of Baldwin and Central Islip, apart from that everywhere else is good for the most part
@@browmaster2197 I would concur. If money is less of any issue, look for a community on the North Shore of Long Island, which in general are less populated, are more affluent and have far less crime
CrimeDanch aka Wyandanch!
Long Island is patchy almost every town has its area to avoid so there are too much to list. Definitely stay away form Wyndanch, Brentwood, Central Islip. Another thing is dont bring your firearm. You are coming from what us sane people call Free-America and are allowed to defend yourself. Here in NY you can be the best kind of person but if the cops find out you have a gun you will be arrested ran through the ringer for many months spend 10's of thousands of dollars to get out and will have a criminal record. It happens once in a while where an unknowing person comes in has no ill-intent and gets jammed up. One guy was getting ready to fly back to his home state when TSA found an empty magazine in his luggage. A piece of plastic with a spring got him arrested and charged. NY DA's Prosecutors and cops love to make examples out of good people. There is a reason why we have one of the highest outgoing migrations than almost all other states.
I hate paying 20 bucks to get onto the island lol

Stink bugs…Really???
You couldn’t pay me to live on Long Island. It’s expensive and boring.
“Let’s start with the ugly ones first “
Doesn’t mention the insane history of racism/current day segregation at all.
But yeah paying to park sucks too I guess.
You’re an idiot
@@theruffledbunny2675 why?
@@Deelo51 perhaps I misread your comment and if so I apologize, but I don’t think there is any current day segregation going on on Long Island.
60 years old
I grew up in Patchogue
They did an amazing turnaround
Great town
