• North Fork housing crisis hits schools, hospital — and a Southold councilwoman (timesreview.com) — Rising housing costs on the North Fork are squeezing Mattituck-Cutchogue schools, where leaders say it's harder to recruit and retain teachers and some staff commute long distances. Local officials, hospital leaders, and residents describe how high rents and scarce rentals are hollowing out year-round communities and straining schools, emergency services, and working families.
