Port Chester is a formerly beautiful town on the NY/CT border. It has everything that should make it a great place to live; it’s on the coast, easy commute to NYC, and Greenwich, CT. It had some really nice properties and neighborhoods.
A few years back, for reasons I can’t explain, it became a magnet for hispanics, mostly illegal. Since then, property values have collapsed while social services budgets have skyrocketed, since few of the new residents pay any of the obscene NY state or city or county taxes, but many demand the welfare-state benefits afforded NY citizens. Much, much, of the income there is off the books and those nice properties are being rented (in many cases, for cash) to multiple occupants who all park their barely-running, uninsured vehicles in the front yards.
The few legitimate residents have now been disenfranchised of any means of saving what’s left.
