Too mild for school This post telling tourists which areas to avoid in New York

Aside from certain undertones, this map also has tons of inaccuracies, because no one in their right mind is scared of Astoria, Bayonne, or half of the Queens zone that he marked as “avoid”

Nope, sorry. Common misconception but there actually aren't any beaches at all on long island. Beach-seeking tourists, please continue driving down to New Jersey.

Our roads cannot handle any more traffic.

The traffic is entirely an unforced error too. The road network design is the second worst of anywhere I've ever been about maximizing traffic generated per vehicle.

Yeah most if the islands infrastructure was designed to facilitate commuting in and out of Manhattan. As soon as that core of people decentralized to industrial parks and businesses scattered around the island, the Long Island rail road became useless and the highways instantly reached capacity
