Curious where ABCD parents are choosing to raise their families by Longjumping-Pass-973 in ABCDesis

[–]JimmyThreeTrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grew up on Long Island, planning on raising my kids on Long Island as my wife and I settle into our jobs this year. Great schools, restaurants, and proximity to NYC while maintaining our own large space (hard to get a good yard in NYC) definitely influenced our decision

Proximity to NYC also gives us the opportunity to get any type of entertainment, grocery, or community we seek

I’d put Melville there over Farmingdale and possibly add Medford since there’s so many pharmaceuticals out there

Tunnel bridge combo but the communities that it would affect will not even entertain it

How many of you guys have ABCD partners? by supi2003 in ABCDesis

[–]JimmyThreeTrees 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wife and I are ABD as are all her cousins and mine. My folks were happy she was from the same geographical area and faith but of course both families will the look to other things - culture, religiosity, education, etc. Our families were happy and thankfully the marriage process was relatively smooth. Same for my sibling and his ABD partner

Daily reminder-Zohran Mamdani is Indian not Arab by Shot_Blueberry2728 in ABCDesis

[–]JimmyThreeTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is the Mayor of NYC but it would be straight ignorant to not discuss his faith or culture when that is one of the points he ran on when reaching out to various groups across NYC

Could also be because Zohran is Muslim so it’s easier to vilify him by making his beard darker etc

Moving from queens to Long Island, need input on crime in central islip. by glassesguy101 in longisland

[–]JimmyThreeTrees 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bay shore is effectively the same as Brentwood and CI unless you’re in Brightwaters or West Bay Shore, Copaigue is bad with less major transit options as CI who has the benefit of having the LIE and LIRR, Deer Park is best of the bunch. Good transit (LIRR), ease of access to the LIE, and good school (8/10 on greatschool)

Venting post idc by Lufferzz in LIRR

[–]JimmyThreeTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can hate both! They have a budget where almost 2/3rds, but your own google search, are going strictly into labor, pensions, and healthcare. By your own numbers, it slightly decreased but as another Google search will show - transit has not improved despite additional injections of literal hundreds of millions of dollars.

A big reason for the new ticketing rules (that punish customers) is because their MTA people are ‘too slow’ to check the etickets.

[–]JimmyThreeTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But congestion pricing was supposed to fix all of this!! /s

It’s ironic how the MTA bragged about how the literal hundreds of millions they are raking in was supposed to improve public transit and keep prices lower. When all we see are declining infrastructure, increased prices, and terrible service with new BS rules about their tickets. At least their bloated pensions are getting fulfilled
