🌱 Southampton Daily: Town Office Shooting Threat + YIMBY Rally

Morning, Southampton! Let's get you started this Sunday with everything you need to know going on around Southampton today.

A group rallying for affordable housing in the Hamptons met Saturday. And a shooting threat over the phone to the Southampton town clerk resulted in a lockdown.

First, today's weather:

Sun giving way to clouds. High: 44 Low: 37.

Here are the top stories in Southampton today:

2. A rally for affordable housing in the Hamptons was held Saturday. East End YIMBY ("Yes in my back yard") assembled at the windmill on Long Wharf in Sag Harbor to draw attention to the fact that teachers, firefighters, health care workers, tradespeople, farmers, fishermen and more cannot find affordable homes in the area.
