Your response: The Huntington town government and the Suffolk County Government need to know that my community of interest needs to be distinguished from the other census-designated places that also form part of the larger Town of Huntington map. I feel that the constituents of "Huntington", defined as the previously mentioned 5 census designated places in the larger town of Huntington, have some very important political and socioeconomic interests that are ignored and or treated with downright hostility from the elected Town of Huntington government.The lack of Affordable rent and housing stock are issues that have existed for decades in "Huntington", yet the town government does not see this as a problem
