Roslyn is a very expensive 'Gold Coast' town on the North Shore. The area has at least three large Hospital complexes (LIJ, North Shore University and St. Francis). These are the largest employers in the area. They need low-level workers who don't have to deal with travel time to get to work.
As a result there are housing projects tucked away throughout. These 'projects' are garden apartment style and air conditioned. Poverty sucks on the Gold Coast.
Long Island has really changed since I grew up there.
I’m very familiar with Roslyn as my husband grew up in Port Washington. Boy, has that town changed. It feels like mini Tijuana.
After Bernie Madoff, maybe not so much. A lot of his suckers,....er INVESTORS!, were from there.
