As for over crowding, I don't see that where my parents live in Long Island but then again, you don't find homes for cheap there and the people are snotty.
Are they on the North or South shore?

The North.
"North Shore
Steeped in American history, the North Shore of Long Island is also known as the "Heritage Trail," defined by what was formerly known as "Knight's Highway," now Route 25A. This region of the Island retains the character of years gone by, and much has been preserved-parts dating back to colonial times, the Revolutionary War era and the earliest days of the nation, when President George Washington traveled here in 1790.
Quaint bays, harbors and villages on Long Island Sound make up the picturesque North Shore, which extends east from Great Neck to Port Jefferson. This is also the fabled Gold Coast, where turn-of-the-century tycoons such as the Vanderbilts, Phipps and Gueggenheims summered in opulent mansions and gardens, many of which are open to the public today. Also on the North Shore: Teddy Roosevelt's stately summer home, Sagamore Hill. "
