Hanks is picking up where Debbie Rose left off; they're going to turn North Shore into another Williamsburg.

With so many people hungry jobless and houseless it troubles me that fixing anything is of concern?

Now if you were to tell me that you are going to put all those needy people to help build the North Shore of S.I.
I'm on board.

Is that a bad thing? Alot of the nicer homes are concentrated on the South part of the Island. Reinvestment here would be nice. My only issue is can they get rid of those ugly delipidated garages/warehouses. Blighting otherwise decent blocks of houses. Would also help with parking and make more room for smaller sized Co-ops to be established.

That is just so not true. Don't know where you live on the Island and for how long but there is no shortage of "nicer homes" on north and east shores along with mid-island.

Sadly Bay Street and Richmond Terrace along with Victory Blvd down there has turned into who did it and ran; but up in the hills or off those avenues are wonderful homes.

Empire Outlets is plagued by the fact that it's not in the best neighborhood, has numerous vacancies and by the fact that you have to pay to park there. The SI Mall and local shopping centers all have free parking in better neighborhoods.



I wish Hanks luck but the North Shore has the highest crime rate on S.I. and it's caused by it's own residents. Most of the crime in the better neighborhoods of SI is caused by North Shore residents.

Think only went out to SI Mall back in day only a few times, even then much of that was while in HS to hang out with friends.

Our family like many others from the Island did our shopping in New Jersey.


Area around ferry in Saint George is a CF. But it was a slow decay caused by many factors starting about 1980's.

Once things that anchored that area of North Shore left for South Shore or Mid-Island (Staten Island Hospital, HIP, College of Staten Island, etc...) things started going into rapid decline along Bay Street, Richmond Terrace and even Victory Blvd.

City keeps banging on about improving that part of NS, yet they keep shoving homeless shelters and low income housing down there.

Bay Street rot is starting to creep into Rosebank, that never happened before.
