Kevan,
Sorry I don't know that name. I"m 40 so you can gauge the ages from that.
I don't live as east as Wading River, but I"m near Stony Brook and i"m here
because it's a bit more open. don't get me wrong it's still nothing like the
country, but overall there's more green.
Long Island should serve as a lesson for the rest of the country. Greed
from overdeveloping has really destroyed the Island. Not much open space left
and what's left is being fought for tooth and nail.
It's not all the developers fault though, it's also the people who buy
these 3/4 million dollar homes and have to have them brand new on undeveloped
land.
