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.

Joseph Borelli / New York City Council Joseph Borelli’s caucus grew from three to five members after several unexpected Republican victories last year. That’s still a tiny portion of the New York City Council – but that didn’t stop him from wielding an outsized influence over redistricting. Borelli has been fighting hard to ensure that the borough’s three council seats do not include any blue Brooklyn neighborhoods.
