S78 via Hylan Posted March 3, 2010 Share #1 Posted March 3, 2010 As for the last 16 years of my life, I have lived on Staten Island. I must say that unfortunately I didn't like any of the years I have spent there. Hopefully within the next month or two, I will be happier in Manhattan (or possibly Brooklyn). I am so glad that I get to travel to school in Manhattan every day. It allows me to visit the city where I couldn't in the past. I will miss riding the free (SIR) and ferry when that day comes and I know it will. Had to get this off my chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though, I moved across the country to Phoenix, AZ, I would NEVER live on Staten Island again. Yuck.... I miss NYC, but not Staten Island at all. Im actually happy my family decided to pick up and move. I don't regret moving to Arizona either. Ive met some incredible people here. But Staten Island is not on my future place to live on... Good luck in Manhattan or Brooklyn... Now those places are worth missing :tup::cool: Zach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted March 4, 2010 Share #4 Posted March 4, 2010 Good luck with the move. Sadly now's a bad time to sell, but at least it's a good time to buy. Selling on SI and moving to Brooklyn is probably better than selling in Brooklyn and moving to SI. So you might be in a good position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted March 5, 2010 Share #7 Posted March 5, 2010 The ferry is 30min, not really terrible unless you miss the ferry by minutes. At least they run every 15min in the rush hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRG Posted March 5, 2010 Share #9 Posted March 5, 2010 As one person moves out, another moves in...translation: I'm strongly considering moving out there. It's my type of environment, I just gotta make sure I live near the S79 and the X1 to get to my guaranteed connections...lol. But seriously, I wouldn't mind living out there at all...maybe because I've spent so much time out there. Anyway, enjoy Brooklyn, or Manhattan, or wherever you'll be moving to, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest Glen Posted March 6, 2010 Share #14 Posted March 6, 2010 Staten Island is a nice place to visit. It's less congested than the other boroughs. It has that Middle America feeling (especially with all of the strip malls on Hylan Blvd). It's very scenic and there's excellent transportation options. However, I wouldn't want to live there. In Staten Island there's affluent areas and there's poor areas. There's no middle ground. Staten Island isn't ideal for a person of color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRG Posted March 6, 2010 Share #16 Posted March 6, 2010 Staten Island isn't ideal for a person of color. That is not true. There's a mix of Asians, Jews, Caucasians, Italians AND Blacks there, all of which make the majority group of people living there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Glen Posted March 6, 2010 Share #17 Posted March 6, 2010 No need for the racist comments. It wasn't meant to be racist, but let's be honest: the only minority areas in Staten Island are Port Richmond and Stapleton, and those areas aren't the best. There's no black or Hispanic middle class areas on Staten Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
