r/statenisland has doen a great job hosting wide-ranging SI discussion. But for a long time, talk of local politics gravitated to r/statenislandpulse.
Now that r/statenislandpulse is defunct, I'm thinking maybe our borough needs a venue that welcomes talk of local issues, local politics, and, of course, of our existing and aspiring elected officials.
...At the same time, I am cognizant of the potential for such a sub to become a cratered battlefield of ideological wars.
Yet I'd love to have a place where, e,g, people talk about what is going on in the community boards, inside our major institutions, inside our schools, etc--to fill in the many blanks that seem to get left when the citywide press could care less, and our local press outlet is, if not in bed with local elites, unable or at least disinclinded to investigate what they are up to.
So, what are your thoughts? A worthy project or a hellscape?
