Interesting read on how NYC’s suburb-like borough parallels broader America in coping with the mortgage crisis:
“Staten Island is more dependent on private cars and private homes than its urban neighbors. It has a smaller share of the very rich and very poor than the rest of the city. While its homeownership rate is double that of the city as a whole — some 70 percent…— it is roughly the same as that of the nation as a whole.”
