Staten Island
The map of New York City that accompanied your front-page feature, “The House That Giuliani Wants to Build” (Aug. 20), suffers from a fairly common ailment, the nonexistence of Staten Island. While four of the city’s five boroughs are clearly labeled, the separate area down in the lower left-hand corner, attached to Brooklyn via the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, remains anonymous.
As a frequent visitor there, let me assure fellow Angelenos that Staten Island is alive, well and engaged in eternal repaving projects that may lack the glamor of Yankee Stadium but that are just as rife with political and fiscal intrigue.
