Save Staten Island

Over the next few months, we will be touring the Island in the hopes of answering two main questions, should Staten Island be saved and can it be saved? Subscribe to the blog to see where we filmed last and the adventures we had along the way. www.SaveStatenIsland.com

It Was Bound to Happen...

We received our first negative response to the project.

I am printing it here so others can see what some of the neighbors are thinking. The question we have is, how many of you belive the Island not worth saving due to certain nationalities moving here.

"I don't understand what the "problem" is or what is left of Staten Island to save.

It was said on your website "the ten best things about Staten Island" or something like that and #2 was: We are all from Brooklyn anyway.

That's a lie. Brooklynites are from Brooklyn. When the bridge was put up, all the Italian people from Brooklyn INVADED Staten Island, ripped down trees, parks and all places of nature and poured cement on everything and built what I can only call cockeroach condos. One small living space, no yard, piled on top of another all in a row.

And NOW, they want to call themselves Staten Islanders?

And I laugh, because the Russians INVADED Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst, which were traditionally Italian neighborhoods and took over everything there. But at least, they didn't destory nature to do it. That was done already in Brooklyn by those cement-loving people.

So I laugh now because guess what? The Russians are invading the Italians on the South Shore. Everywhere you go, all the signs are in Russian because "we are a tolerant people who embrace culture and the melting pot". Hahahaha. Too stupid to know an invasion when you see one.

Ahhh, Karma. Gotta love it.

Wake up call --- Staten Island no longer exists. It was raped and invaded many years ago thanks to money-hungry individuals who allowed it to be torn down and overrun and now there is hardly anything green left at all.

Enjoy your cement-covered town. Comrade."

The poster didn't give us any information on themselves. They send this in response to a Craigslist post we had up.

And the Lenape would claim that *you* invaded Staten Island.

The politicians that you and your ancestors voted into office did the damage with their developer friends, not the people who were simply seeking for homes for their families. Are you doing anything to stop the development that is happening right now on SI?
