What part of Brooklyn are you thinking, coach? I haven't lived there in a few years now, but maybe can offer some insight that's still relevant.
Commuting from LI/CT/NYJ is always an option (my inlaws live 2 hours out in Long Island, and I see plenty of people commuting from there) although personally I think that makes most sense when you have a family, or need access to good schools, want a yard etc. Because it's not like LI is particularly cheap. Also, the best part of living in NYC is that you're in NYC...so you want to make sure you have enough time to enjoy it, and not just spend your free time sitting on a train. Even if you have to make that work with roommates, or a smaller space, I think it's worth it.
