One of the five boroughs of New York City who's south shore is mostly suburbanish while it's North Shore is consdidered urban. Any resident can tell you that the two shores are like diffrent worlds. The South shore and mid-island are heavily republican while the North shore has been said to have more in common with parts of Brooklyn and Queens then it does with the rest of Staten Island. The South shore is mostly white while the North shore is primarily black. While the South shore is filled with mostly middle-upper middle class families living in areas that would be considered suburbs, the North shore is filled with mostly low-income urban areas that are home to mostly blacks and hispanics. The Staten Island Railroad was even called the "Mason-Dixon Line" due to the fact that the overwhelming majority of the borough's minorities live above it on the island's North shore, and due to hate crimes that were being commited in Staten Island's Mid-land and southern areas. Crime is also a problem in most of the neighborhoods that make up the North shore. North Staten Island was giving a zoning law that would allow owners to open stores on it almost tax-free to help boost the economy because of the long time poverty and unemployment that exists on the island's North Shore. While the majority of the neighborhoods on the North Shore are ran-down areas that suffer from crime, poverty, unemployment, AIDS, teenage pregnacy and other things of that nature, the South and Mid-land areas are for the most part nice places to live and to raise a family. The media's reluctance to report things that happen on Staten Island most likely so they don't tarnish it's already fading reputation as a virtually crime-free easy going suburb is probably the exact reason why out-of-towners move in to homes on the North Shore and move out accordinly.
You get the picture.

the forgotten borough of new york. all of the wiggers seem to just cuddle up over here. the mall isnt as cool as most staten islanders make it seem and ralph's ices isnt that great either. every teenager here is fake as shit. they're either a wannabe metalhead goth that wears tripp pants or a fucking white ~*~ghetto fabulous~*~ fucker.
whatever you do man, do not move to staten island. unless you're like 60 years old. after that no one really cares about you anymore.

the weirdest place in the world.
forgotten borough; should be part of nj
its divided into two parts: North Shore and South Shore;
one train that goes only to the ferry from tville:/
one mall; where all the guidos hang out
the "atrium" is apparently the coolest place ever
pot heads rule the island
the italians here are a discrace to the real ones.
the girls are wananbe whores and the guys think theyre cool if they get action by 13
no night life what so ever.
not suburbian and not a city.
former dump
nice place to live, right?
of course its not all bad... staten island is just 90% stereotypical.
u will find people who actually have a brain... but dont get ur hopes up... ur considered a loser if u have an average over 80.
bad place to live unless u have a car
frustrates the hell outta me.
AHH!!!!

Staten Island, often never heard of by most people living in New York; the "forgotten borough." It's a pretty, nice, and quiet area to live in. The most greenest borough out of all five boroughs. It's filled with filthy rich people with spoiled kids.
Staten Island people are filthy rich.

Extension of New Jersey and the country's garbage dump. Is more like some dump city in Upstate New York than like Manhattan. The only boro where you will actually find real-live rednecks.
Staten Island once wanted to secede from NYC; Giuliani should have let them.
The South once wanted to secede from the US; Lincoln should have let them!
