None of these ppl are from NYC. The outfits are a dead giveaway
@Bobavane yah the men are dressed like men go figure 😂🤣but people don’t see these guys a lot because they’re at work paying the tax so most can chill and smoke weed cause problems
If you were to get rid of one borough in NYC which would it be and why would you pick Staten Island ??
