Is Bay Shore getting better or worse?

Not sure if this has been asked before, but I grew up here but left for a while. With a population of 31,275, Bay Shore is a smaller city. Homes are going for about $467,800 on average. It's a a smaller city city with about 31,275 people. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

Pros:
- Good job market
- Nice parks and trails
- Close to nature

Cons:
- Hot summers
- Sprawl everywhere
- High property taxes
- Lack of diversity
- Mosquitoes and humidity
