Would you rather live on Staten Island or in Paterson, NJ?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

?

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

Obviously Paterson.

[Ferguson97]

Paterson because it's like 15 minutes from where I live now.

[YE]

Staten Island.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Staten Island.  Jersey is ick (sorry, Torie)

[Del Tachi]

Paterson is closer to Mama Leone's

[Tintrlvr]

Gross.

But those who are choosing Paterson are perhaps rather unfamiliar with its particular panorama of drear.

But it's also not Staten Island.

I was surprised to like NJ when I was in it. Paterson looks beautiful.

was the new jersey one the one where War of the Worlds was?

[Badger]

Probably Patterson. Such an alive in Traverse City. Staten Island other than its Sri Lankan population in the Tompkinsville neighborhood is basically a black and Latino North 3rd, a largely White South half, and the sliver between being somewhat mixed. And, of course, it's Staten Island

You just blasphemed my church!

Basically all of the positive things about Paterson are true of Staten Island but Staten Island has pluses which aren't true of Paterson--it's safer, has strong public transit, and is closer to the city.

Paterson: Biden 80.2 - Trump 18.9 / Biden +61.3
Staten Island: Trump 56.9 - Biden 42 / Trump +14.9

There are parts of Staten Island which basically vote like Paterson though. Obviously I wouldn't pick Southern SI but northern SI is basically comparable to Paterson in most respects except the amenities I referenced above.

[Vice President Christian Man]

Staten Island's geography is fascinating to me so I'll have to go with there.

[GregTheGreat657]

Staten Island

[Schiff for Senate]

Though Paterson is in the same state I was born as, and a little closer to my birthplace than Staten Island, gotta go with Staten Island on this one. Sorry BRTD.

[Torie]

Staten Island has the highest point on the American tidewater. Please write that down for future reference.

Update: Visited St. George in SI today and found it quite nice! Unexpectedly very steep; was almost reminded of Pittsburgh. Seemed like an interesting neighborhood and surprisingly convenient if one was commuting into lower Manhattan given the proximity to the Ferry. Decidedly urban in land use too which was a bit of a surprise; I was expecting it to be a bit less dense. Could easily see myself living in Staten Island if I moved to New York.

Oh, and gave Biden higher numbers than Paterson; 81.6-16.9.

[Progressive Pessimist]

Paterson has gotten a bad rap all my life, but it isn't nearly as bad as it used to be. It still has its problems but just by virtue of its closeness to where I already live, I'll have to go with it.

No. That was Grover's Mill. It's in Mercer County.

[💥💥 brandon bro (he/him/his)]

would rather live in the bowels of hell than either of these places

[Senator Spark]

Staten Island. It just seems like it would have been scenery to me.

Staten Island.  Totally stereotyping here, but I've always had a major thing for New York Italian guys.

I dated a  couple Italian girls from NYC, pretty sure one was connected to the mob because she was super rich, her mom was a stay at home mom and her dad worked in keeping the roads clean. The other one's mom is one of the anchors on WNBC. Really interesting to say the least lol.
