Failing To Plan Is Planning To Fail

An issue for decades, affordable housing for local residents on the South Fork, has reached crisis proportions. The crisis has accelerated in the wake of the pandemic. The value of real estate sales tripled between 2019 and 2021. High prices and low inventory has put housing beyond the reach of more and more local residents.

Trump has repeatedly called climate change a “hoax.” Meanwhile, Suffolk County resident Lee Zeldin of Shirley, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, is canceling, on a sweeping basis, environmental regulations, discharging EPA employees, and, last week, stopping the collection of greenhouse gas emission data. Further, ... by Karl Grossman
