A recent Newsday/Siena survey found three-quarters of respondents highly rated their quality of life on Long Island, but just as many expressed worry about the growing affordability crisis in the region, and nearly half said the quality of life has been getting worse.
"People like Long Island. They think that the overall quality of life is excellent or good. But they are struggling to afford it," said Siena pollster Don Levy.
Between May 27 and June 16, pollsters for Siena College, in conjunction with Newsday, contacted 802 respondents across Nassau and Suffolk. Answers have a margin of error of 4.3 points, which means their percentages could veer that much higher or lower.
Here are their responses to questions related to job opportunities, culture, affordability and qualify of life on Long Island.
