In a recent news report, the area in where I live is covered by the 6th Pct of the Nassau County Police. Rape, murder and burglaries in my area are up 18.91%. In an area south of me in the same police precinct it is up 10.93%. Not very comforting
At the same time in their infinite wisdom Nassau County Officials closed and merged the 3rd Pct with the 6th.
But over all rape, murder and burglaries in Nassau County are up 1.24%. This is not very comforting.
Aside from the fact that our property taxes are hitting all time highs as much as a 30% increase, foreclosures are on the increase, LiPA is sending the rates through the roof do to their mis-management of Sandy, stores are closing left and right, crime is now going up making Nassau an unsafe place to live.
In last weeks Newsday it was reported that 60,000 people are leaving New York each year. Talking to people I know they too are fed up with the crime, taxes and LiPA and they are planning on leaving. A woman down the street from me no has her house on the market. I look around and see many places with for sale sign on them. More now than ever before. I wonder why.
Is it time that we too should think about getting out of New York? I should say so.
'Till next time
