As I watch the Nassau County gas prices rise on a daily and sometimes hourly basis, I often cringe at the fact that I have a eight cylinder motor in my car.  But what are my alternatives to lower my Nassau County gas prices to travel to work and other places?

Of course the most obvious choice would be to sell it but dealerships are not interested in a car with a big v8 motor in it.  While the car I have is very comfortable, it is quite unnecessary.  I have seen the Swift on the parkways and come to find out that are NOT cheap and would cost me quite a bit to recoup the loss on this v8 to buy that car.  It is crazy and getting scary!

I see no changes in the future for the gas prices.  I hope they go down below $4 a gallon but these prices affect so much.  Many people I know are not traveling like normal with one even selling a nice mobile home/camper unit he  had just bought a couple of years ago.  How many family outings are being cancelled due to the greed of some speculators.  It is terrible.  Thoughts of one car like days past are creeping in again!

What do you see for the future of Nassau County Gas Prices?  Comment here an let everyone know!

Those looking for Nassau County apartments and rentals might be dismayed to find there are only a few ‘legal’ places available. Many Nassau County apartments are found in the form of illegal setups in single family houses. With the high cost to live on Long Island, many residents are finding that renting part of their home is the only way that they can survive here.

There are several apartment complexes here in Nassau County but these are all connected units and run b management companies. Pricing for these units is quite high and the maintenance is not so terrific as you might get with an owner of a home you live in. That owner has a vested interest in maintaining the home as it helps their own resale value.

There are several complexes throughout Nassau County that have wonderful apartments available. Such complexes as Roslyn Gardens have a maintenance company with staff to take care of the grounds and units. These complexes offer tenants a bit of security as there is usually a community watching feeling as the same people and cars are usually coming and going. Problems with units are much easier resolved as each rental has a contract of rules and requirements. But once you sign the contract you are bound to it as it is a legal rental unlike a verbal agreement with a homeowner with illegal apartment. In that scenario, you might find yourself homeless if someone reports you to the town and tickets the owner.

When you have made the decision to rent an apartment there are many things to keep in mind before you agree or sign a contract:

- Length of agreement or lease

- Termination terms if you want to leave

- Security deposit terms and repayment

- Parking arrangements

- Utility agreements (heat, hot water, and electric)

- Subletting/guests stay

- Late payment terms

- Apartment issue & how to resolve/timeframe

Someone suggested added a Pet Trainers category be added and I have added it.   You can now add your listing to this category.  I really could have used this for the dog I used to have!  Wow what a terror.

Thanks Ted
