Getting to the mall could be even faster now that the Metropolitan Transportation Authority installed traffic cameras on a bus route that starts at New Springville. Staten Island buyers rely on Realtors like Sandy Krueger and Frank J. Rizzo at a time when the housing market has become increasingly volatile. Rizzo said the Staten Island home market has the most limited inventory of available homes for buyers he has seen in 20 years and recommended people get their finances in order if they want to be able to afford a starter home. Krueger said affordability has been the “principal victim” as borough home prices jumped 13% compared with 2021. Prices declined in the summer, with Krueger warning that rising interest rates and economic uncertainty are behind the current slowdown.
Giunta miscalculated on that race by a few hundred votes with Fossella winning the primary – and eventually the general election – but backed New York City Council candidate David Carr, who edged out a far-right opponent.

Roxanne Mustafa co-founded Staten Island Women Who March on Jan. 20, 2017 – Inauguration Day for then-President Donald Trump – to celebrate what she believed would be the beginning of a new era for women’s rights. That road since then has been bumpy, but the organization continues its work as a progressive, nonprofit group that aims to empower women.

During Allen Cappelli’s short stint as a city planning commissioner in the de Blasio era, he voted to close Rikers Island and “hesitantly” approved the Two Bridges development plan.
