Todt Hill to be exact! Mafia galore, and that super-crooked private school known as Staten Island Academy.

I've been to SI many times and the people I've encountered on the most part there conversed with a smile while being helpful if need be.
Many being of Italian heritage helps matters imo.
It's the landfill there, Fresh Kills, which is the largest in the WORLD and you could see it from space! God knows what's in there that has contaminated the drinking water on Staten Island to re-wire its people's brains.

I agree! I've lived in Monmouth County for a number of years and I don't understand why everyone focuses on this "problem." I've noticed that there are more people from SI/Brooklyn here, but I usually only know that because people tell me they're from SI/Brooklyn, not because I have some special "New Yorker radar."
That is great, Staten Islanders take excellent care of their homes, open lots of beautiful stores, and are very friendly, a plus for New Jersey.....
you are depending on people that read your posts to be ignorant of staten island and just take your word for it. I don't need to badmouth staten islanders or former staten islanders, but its a very flawed place and nobody is just going to be super excited about residents there transplanted to their towns. that being said, my family came from Brooklyn and im sure lots of staten islanders moving out to nj are great people. but its going to be a very mixed bag.
C'mon, I know Staten Island has parks and whatnot, and the only friend I have on Staten Island lives in a very large, new house, across from a wooded area and very close to the water. I have taken pictures around her house and sent them to friends saying, "This TOO is New York City." But it's a small area and a few blocks away you're back to narrow, beatup roads and buildings squashed together that practically sit on the sidewalk.
By and large, it's still more congested and has more urban areas and rundown roads and neighborhoods than Monmouth County. And Monmouth County still has orchards and horse farms and vegetable farms.
Um, no, I don't think so. I moved to Monmouth County from Bergen County looking for an affordable condo after my daughter graduated from high school, and I wanted to live near the ocean but still needed access to public transportation to commute to the city. Most people moving from SI and Brooklyn are looking for single-family houses in towns with good schools in which to raise their families, as I already stated in the post you quoted.
Most of the people on here would turn up their noses in horror at living in the town in which I live. There are NO single-family homes, no schools, no police, no fire department in my town. There is a condo complex, an apartment complex, a co-op complex, a town hall, a store, and a park. We pay a nearby town for fire service, State Police patrols our three roads and answers emergency calls, and the kids go to school in another nearby town. At the last census, our population hit 1200, though, so some of us apparently do liking living here!
The Mafia, as you call it, has moved to New Jersey, they can hide better....
The place you call a "dump," was closed myriad years' ago........and will be turned into a park. So where does NJ garbage go to? I know of a dump in East Brunswick.....I am sure there are myriad others....

It's in South River, not East Brunswick! And South River does not equal East Brunswick.
And there is a dump in Monmouth County too, in Tinton Falls to be exact. And it smells worse than the one in South River.

A park? Wow - that smells...i mean...sounds just awesome. "Hey, let's pack a basket fulla gabagool and go to Fresh Kills Park! Don't let the 25 year old stinky diapers bother youse. It's part of the natural fauna of Stankin' Island."

you so rarely see someone use the word "myriad" anymore and you used it twice in one post!
