• What America's most expensive ZIP codes reveal about where wealth actually goes (nypost.com) — Bridgehampton is spotlighted as one of America’s priciest ZIP codes, with median home prices around $8 million and annual ownership costs far outpacing everyday living expenses. The piece explains how Hamptons enclaves like Bridgehampton and Water Mill reflect extreme housing scarcity, exclusivity, and wealth, even though basic costs in Suffolk County remain comparatively grounded.
   

• Officials Want East Hampton Battery Facility Closed (easthamptonstar.com) — County officials say PFAS contamination near Georgica Pond likely stems from East Hampton’s Cove Hollow battery storage facility, not from an older plane crash site.
