Emm, I live in Long Island too (but closer to Queens), but I've been in the city for most of my high school and college life. I do like Long Island but if I wanted to buy a house that I want (and where I want) in LI, I'd have to have about a million dollars for it. I think it's ridiculous to pay that much for a house that is not even worth that kind of price - and that's how much houses cost now where I live. My parents bought their house long ago, when houses where still cheap. It's different now. Besides, Long Island is not very large and if you want to go on vacation, you have to go elsewhere, always having to get through the city first - no other way out. Besides, I like places with mountains and lakes much better than places with beaches - like Long Island. So, I may just move out of NY altogether in a few years. I didn't say Canada is final, but that it's one of the options
There are many other beautiful states in America too - for example, Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts, or Michigan (I personally like these). Plus, the same houses in these states (and in Canada) are one-third of the price of the houses in Long Island. So why pay a million dollars for a house that is worth (on average) $300,000 elsewhere?
