Are the Staten Island Stereotypes true? 

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”

Staten Island where Brooklynites moved to the country

That’s for the fun tips. I have been looking for a place to live to in New York.

Nah i lived there without a car

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! ❤

i kinda wanna live there when i’m older and i was thinking of brooklyn but not anymore

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 ______)😅

Rent it too high for any one to live now geez $1600 for a one bedroom

Fun fact: was a great place to live and grow up before the Verazanno.

It’s the third smallest and biggest borough

Interesting. Thanks.

Rent is half the price of Los Angeles. And I’m talking “ghetto” LA

Take a drink every time she says....borough. You won't last a minute.

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

Least amount of people living in poverty? How much? Under 10 million pounds of poor people? Or under 5 million? Just wondering. 🤔

💙💙💙

And the wackest boro lmao

Staten Island is horrible I live here and I’ve been here my whole life

1,600 for one bedroom? I wouldn't pay more than 500

dont forget is is all garbage ;landfill

Wu Tang

False!!! You do not need a car to live here.

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?

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

It's the nicest Boro. Mostly Italian and Irish. The lowlives stay on the north shore.

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.

Safest borough?! Anyone seen THE PURGE?! Especially after Trump, you won’t see me living there… Richmond County’s as red as Alabama

Alot of traffick

And it’s the only Republican one🤔
