It's kind of nice. I kind of get this apocalyptic feeling from it where it looks like the human population has recently been snuffed out and nature has kindly started to take its course.

Staten Island has lots of broken sidewalks.


Then I left. Here's a view of the antithesis of Staten Island, where everyone thinks they have something to do.
