I use to live in Staten Island and moved to Carroll Gardens with my girlfriend. I love living here because it’s conveniently closer to NYC and it has a thriving arts scene, but trust me don’t knock on Staten Island until you’ve been there. If you go to the north shore by the ferry you will find there is a big music scene, nice restaurants and it’s just a quick ferry ride away from NYC.

I’m a native New Yorker (45 years) and I’m proud to say that I’ve never set foot in Staten Island.
Staten Island-
where all original thoughts go to die
the worst place i could ever imagine living in nyc
9.47 – because of the things idiots like you write perhaps?
Yes, Opal Ridge person, why did you make these places so heinously ugly? You honestly think someone in the market for a brownstone would consider these pieces of crap? Every architectural cliche put together in one house!
“low-level mobsters”
L(but not out loud). Nice.
how come we can’t comment on the Flea posts anymore?
#1 – if you are building houses from scratch why make them so ugly? Like some third-worlder’s dream of “fancy”.
