If you seriously wanted to live in one of those houses, you'd probably be stabbed by a 90-pound homeless man when going to work, not that there's any work in the surrounding area.

False story seen as another hit to Mastic's image

BY PATRICK WHITTLE AND CHRISTINE ARMARIO

Parents, students and civic leaders in the Mastic area said a 17-year-old's fabricated story that she was sexually attacked on her way to William Floyd High School is another black eye for their community -- and it happened just as the area is making strides to clean up its image, they said.

Police said this week that the student, who they did not name, completely made up the story to avoid taking a test for which she was not prepared. The revelation came less than two months after two local school girls really were victimized, according to police.

The incident adds to the negative perception of one of Suffolk County's blue-collar communities, said Debbie Crosby of Shirley, whose daughter attends William Floyd High School.

"The last thing we needed was another thing," she said. "Everyone looks at Mastic-Shirley like it's this horrible place and it's really not."

Yesterday, a day after the police revelations, civic leaders gathered outside William Floyd High School to announce plans to construct a public parking lot on a piece of vacant land across the street from the school. The land has been a hot spot for students cutting class and a refuge for homeless people and criminal activity, officials said.
The county transferred the land to Brookhaven Town for $1, town officials said.

A private developer plans to build a Dunkin' Donuts on an adjacent parcel, which was the site of one of the earlier alleged sexual assaults. The project is part of the town's revitalization plan for the Neighborhood Road and Mastic Road commercial corridors. The parking lot will serve the Dunkin' Donuts and nearby businesses.

Brookhaven Supervisor Brian X. Foley said the plan to develop the two properties is an example of the community "taking back, block by block, areas that for years have languished."

Bob DeBona, president of the Mastic Beach Property Owner's Association, welcomed the two redevelopment projects but said the fabricated sexual assault is more negative news that Mastic doesn't need.

"When I turn on the news, if I don't see Mastic Beach, I've had a good day," DeBona said.

"It was bad for us," Crosby said about the false report. "We took a hit and we take a lot of hits but they've got to pick on somebody."

But other residents, such as Delia McKernan, president of the Smith Point Beach Property Owners Association, said the fabrication was an isolated incident that should not reflect poorly on the community.

"I think we need a little more intervention for the young," she said. "What makes a teenager want to get caught up in that kind of negative attention?"

Attempts to reach William Floyd district officials failed.

Suffolk Det. Lt. Michael Diffley said police canvassed the neighborhood, spoke with homeowners and businesses and reviewed previous police reports in the area after they received the girl's statement. Following several re-interviews, inconsistencies in her story began to emerge, and it came out she'd been trying to skip a test, police said.

Police decided not to charge her and instead refer her to counseling.

After reading this I began looking at pictures on real estate sites and other shit I see what you mean. Mastic doesn't seem that bad though, if you get a house next to Fire Island park or on the water. The summers there are probably really nice if you don't have kids to put into their shitty schools.

Houses in Mastic do go for that much. It's regarded as the single worst neighborhood in Long Island and probably all of New York state.

In second life, water parcels can be quite valuble for thier extra prims.

haha there's waterfront property in north cove, washington that would probably sell for $1300, but that's because the shoreline erodes about 65 feet a year there so "waterfront" means "probably underwater next week"

Jan 18th, 2009 04:06 PM

I think that $1300 is a mistake, this is supposed to be a rental listing and the monthly rent got put in as the asking price. Even for long island thats ridiculous.

I've seen houses go for $6,000 in Mastic, New York.

Edit: http://www.homes.com/Content/Listing...earchorig=main

Long url, but $1300. If you have to wonder why it is that low... you're just thick.

That's because there are like a billion people and only a dozen houses which are already filled with Mexicans.

My aunt and I signed all the papers, so now it's up to the lawyers and bank to do the other things. :O

I can get a house in LA for around 200k..... in Compton.

Jan 14th, 2009 12:25 PM

Housing prices are pretty stable in Winnipeg. The price will be around 200K, which is a bit under the average price for a house this size.

I take it you got it for welllllll below market value, right?

It kinda smells like old people, but I think I can air that out pretty easily.

It's a pretty sweet house. Three bedroom, approx 1300 sq ft. The basement is only partly finished, though, but the upstairs is really nice. It has a big yard, too.

There are two doors in the basement where the door is covered in wood panelling to match the walls, so all you see are two doorknobs sticking out. I will turn those into dead body storage. :O

good luck with the house thing. Its awesome to have your own garage and backyard and not share walls with neighbors.

i got my first house a couple years back. Luckily the real estate prices are so low in Texas I havent lost too much(if any, i got a pretty good deal!) on the value even with this recession bullshit.

too bad it didnt make me a responsible adult

I hope it is in good shape with working appliances. Congratulations!
