I'm beginning to think that escaping from Long Island is one of those things my friends who live there have to do to keep their sanity. It's consistent enough that even I can sense a trend.
Peconic County is a bad idea. They pass it off as an idea to preserve the East End's rural character but really they don't want the "undesirables" from the city, Nassau, and western Suffolk moving in. I worked for a year for a non-profit organization trying to get pools and other public spaces opened in the Moriches and the Hamptons and the primary reason we were given for the constant resistance we hit was "well, it'll bring out...those people."
