This may have been discussed already. But I was wondering about the history of why Staten Island lacks the dense urban development found in the other boroughs and mostly feels like a dense suburb.
There are greater expanses of suburban areas in Queens such as Bayside, and it's a better transition to Long Island than Brooklyn. But you do have your dense urban clusters like Flushing, Jamaica, Astoria, parts of Long Island City, all along Queens boulevard (Rego Park, Elmhurst, Forrest Hills), among many others
In Staten Island you have vast empty spaces that you won't find anywhere else in NYC, and I can't think of any real dense areas, not even the north shore
