I am wrong....aren't Brooklyn and Queens still on Long Island?????

---

They are technically on the same Island but for divisional purposes Brooklyn and Queens are considered parts of NYC and not parts of Long Island in that sense. Brooklyn and Queens have the same rules and political powers as Manhattan, Staten Island and the Bronx... so they are lumped more with that group.

I live in Queens... I wouldn't ever say I live on Long Island (though technically it's the same Island it's not necessarily considered as one). There are divisional lines that seperate them. And if I said I lived on Long Island people would assume I lived across that boarder and actually ON the Long Island side, which I don't. Queens is Queens, Brooklyn is Brooklyn... and no one from those areas ever says they live on Long Island and visa versa. So if you think about it in that sense then yes you are wrong. If you are literally talking about the fact that all 3 share the same island then no. But I think the OP meant if you aren't technially on the LI side where are you from.

---

I get that that BK and queens are part of NYC but LI isn't any kind of governmental division. LI isn't a town of county is a geographic item. I just never understood why people have to make that distinction......I am not a native NYer so its just something I always wondered......I always just figured that people didnt want to admit they were from LI....

and when I read the OP I thought she meant off LI.....across the bridge. But like I said I grew up a good portion of my life in other states

---

Actually it's always stated sooo seperate that there are some few people who are literally unaware that it is the same island. this is a true story.. I had a coworker from LI... Islip.... and she was trying to show the class (who were from NJ) where the company originated from..w hich is Mattituck.

So seh drew a map... of Long island on one island. Quees and brooklyn were on their own island, then staten island was it's own island and manhattan it's own island. She was well into her 40s and didn't know that LI, Queens, and Brooklyn were on the same island... because it's always referred to as seperate. It's just how it is.

---

oh I believe it cause I had an argument with my Law school professor about this and she said it was a separate island.....WHAT!!!!!! how are you a professor and don't know..

it's even worse for a professor.

Im just wondering why anyone would NOT want to admit they were from LI??? I mean really i live on a gorgeous beach in a beautiful area that people from manhattan are dying to buy into. Oh yes & i have a big yard! lol

I mean i have done my bits in Brooklyn (Dyker Heights) & Manhattan (Murray Hill) and i still came back to LI. Its not that i think those places arent good as well Im just a beach & yard kinda gal. I have no problems admitting im from LI & I LOVE IT!
