While I’m Brooklyn born, I cannot lie my mom moving us to Staten Island back in 2009 was probably the best thing she could’ve done. When I’m in Brooklyn my citizen app goes CRQZY with crime. When I’m in Staten Island it barely goes off. And if it does it’s like “gas odor”
I used to enjoy going to Staten Island back when I lived up north. Best bakeries everrr. Can i get a whoaa for Italian/Americans?! (lol insert cricket noise here ______)😅
It may have a large Italian American population, but it is also known as being mobbed up! FACT!! Also, it takes an hour and a half to get the hell off the island! I'll stay in Manhattan! ❤
@@bruhbutwhythoI was gonna say that’s cheap! Here in end of queens near Long Island it’s $2000 for a one bedroom $3000 for a three bedroom. And the queens near the city like Astoria It’s 2000 for a studio 😅
@@frankwaechter8676 limited resources compared to the big city next to us. No good and reliable transportation, no night life. It’s so much more man. It’s just a dead zone.
this comment sounds racist af. like why couldn't you just say bad neighborhood? saying ghetto makes it seems like only minority-majority neighborhoods are bad.
I am tired of the stereo types about Staten Island it’s very strange to me I’ve lived here my entire life it’s safe comparatively affordable to the other boroughs and the commute times are exaggerated. People say there is nothing when there are half a million people on a 14 by 7 mile island . You do not need a car (but it is much easier to have one to get around) here you can find a parking spot owning a car is an impossibility for most other New Yorkers ask people in manhattan and they say bridge and tunnel crowd referring to outer boroughs as if there cooler and then people from Brooklyn and queens make fun of Staten Island. Because it makes them feel better about where they live. As a Staten islander we don’t put any place down most of these commenters that talk badly haven’t been here or lived here and want something to blame for their own unhappy lives. But would have been miserable anywhere they lived
@@_blah Rich people don’t live there. People with money, do. The wealthy?! Westchester, Forest Hills, Brooklyn Heights, Bayside, Suffolk, you name it. Staten Island, or as I call it, “Northernmost Alabama,” is in great part inhabited by Jersians looking for a cheaper insurance rates and lower taxes. It’s pretty much like that Valley Stream WalMart where the worst of both Nassau and Queens, converge.
That's what happens when you have an area of mostly hard working and family oriented people who depends on themselves and each other instead of hoping big government will solve their problems.

Beautiful.❤❤❤
depends… north shore of Staten Island can be pretty ghetto
Staten Island where Brooklynites moved to the country
VIA THE Guiana GANGPKANK
That’s for the fun tips. I have been looking for a place to live to in New York.
You not the only one I'm going to check that out I never thought about that
Nah i lived there without a car
Yah same
I don't drive and have no problems traveling.
You can live on SI without a car, but it’s way easier with one.

whoaaaa 😂
Woaahhh🤣
Woahhhh!!!! And YEAHHHHH BABYYYY
i kinda wanna live there when i’m older and i was thinking of brooklyn but not anymore

Sure, bud. Enjoy Crime-infested City 🤣
Rent it too high for any one to live now geez $1600 for a one bedroom
Just wait untill you hear what it is in the other boroughs

I have a friend that paid $1,300 in Queens one bedroom
@bruhbutwhytho i live in rent controlled apartment in sunset park brooklyn, it's only 1.5k, cheaper than this.
@@williamsawyer5614 exactly, people always exaggerate the expensiveness lol, like it's not that different between boroughs.
Fun fact: was a great place to live and grow up before the Verazanno.
Most people on here are not that old as you😂
Interesting. Thanks.
It’s the third smallest and biggest borough
Staten Island is horrible I live here and I’ve been here my whole life
Can you explain a little why you think it's horrible? Given the information in the video, it actually seems to be quite nice
@@frankwaechter8676it’s no place for young people. I’m born and raised here and I’m depressed. It feels like a trap when you live here.
@@mmi4745 why does it feel like a trap? I am just being curious
@@frankwaechter8676 limited resources compared to the big city next to us. No good and reliable transportation, no night life. It’s so much more man. It’s just a dead zone.
@@frankwaechter8676 also you need to pay a 20$ toll just to visit the island. Ridiculous.
Rent is half the price of Los Angeles. And I’m talking “ghetto” LA
Damn , L.A is THAT expensive ? I thought NYC was the king when it came to prices .
Not my experience. Born on SI, live in LA, got a nice 1BR with laundry and garage for $1750. Quiet, quiet block, nice neighbors, awesome weather.

Take a drink every time she says....borough. You won't last a minute.
Least amount of people living in poverty? How much? Under 10 million pounds of poor people? Or under 5 million? Just wondering. 🤔
dont forget is is all garbage ;landfill
And the wackest boro lmao
its really boring too tbh
They haven’t relinquished all of Richmond county, to Jersey because of those bridges
I rather be rich, safe, and wack... seems like the best life to me.

It's the nicest Boro. Mostly Italian and Irish. The lowlives stay on the north shore.
Does that include the Stapleton Historic District?
@@OnanX501 the north shore is nice in some places but if you don’t have business there don’t go(Stapleton is VERY dangerous)
False!!! You do not need a car to live here.
You absolutely do.
1,600 for one bedroom? I wouldn't pay more than 500

Safest borough?! Anyone seen THE PURGE?! Especially after Trump, you won’t see me living there… Richmond County’s as red as Alabama
Seems like there's a correlation you're ignoring 🤔
red=good

Pray tell…
The worst of Jersey, lumped with the worst of NYC and Long Island?! Pass.
Slowly being ruined by newer younger Hispanic/Black home buyers who bring the noise of Brooklyn with them. And this is coming from a Hispanic
this is a bad take dawg
@@montybaby08 na, he's spitting facts
If Staten Island is the safest borough it's because it's the whitest.
then you should move out too, you said your race/culture is the problem, right? 😂
i'm sick of poc trying to be white people's servant by mocking fellow poc.
There are beaches on staten island but it's still nyc ocean, not the blue Florida ocean.
How can Staten Island be the "greenest" borough if it's so car-dependent?
Greenest as in vegetation
It have nothing to do with cars,it related to amount of park land SI have.
It's still way more congested in Brooklyn and Manhattan as far as cars go.
typical american car centric propaganda 😂
Alot of traffick
That's what happens when you have an area of mostly hard working and family oriented people who depends on themselves and each other instead of hoping big government will solve their problems.
How old earth did you come up with that.
The worst borough
It's because no one wants to live there.
Staten Island is where the trash goes
These same hardworking family oriented folks are in a tizzy that the hardworking family oriented Pakistani folks have been slowly taking over 😅
And it’s the only Republican one🤔
