Most Long Islanders love that they live near beaches and downtowns, well-maintained parks and top notch schools and hospitals. But these amenities come at a cost. In a recent Newsday/Siena survey, three-quarters of respondents highly rated their quality of life on Long Island, but just as many expressed worry about the growing affordability crisis in the region, and nearly half said the quality of life has been getting worse. While Long Islanders described a higher quality of life than respondents elsewhere in the state, “the sense that things were getting better was markedly lower” across demographics, a pollster said. “A noteworthy 42% said things are getting somewhat or much worse on Long Island.” Read more on what the survey found at the link in our bio. #longisland #liny #longislandny #suffolkcountyny #nassaucountyny #housingmarket #lihousingmarket #homes #lihomes #longislandliving #longislandnewyork #housingcost
