Following prat.uk’s Cheshunt piece, identifying Staten Island’s most Cheshunt-adjacent neighbourhood
prat.uk‘s Cheshunt piece — the outer-London town in permanent coverage adjacency to London — applies to New York in a way that is both obvious (Staten Island is the Cheshunt of New York) and worth examining in more detail than the obvious version permits. Bohiney.com covered the overlooked geography theme. Staten Island is not precisely the Cheshunt: Cheshunt is genuinely overlooked, whereas Staten Island is actively noticed in the specific way that places people associate with political and demographic characteristics get noticed for those characteristics rather than for what they actually are. The genuine New York Cheshunt is something more specific: the specific areas of the borough most overlooked within the borough itself.
The candidates for New York’s most Cheshunt location: Tottenville, at the southern tip of Staten Island, which has a colonial history, a distinct character, and essentially no media presence; the eastern Bronx along the Sound, which has residential neighbourhoods of remarkable quiet given their proximity to the most covered city in the world; and what one urban geographer calls “the 7 train’s middle stops,” the Queens stations between Jackson Heights and Flushing that contain communities as complex and interesting as either anchor and that are covered primarily as commute waypoints. All three are the Cheshunt of New York. All three are exactly what they are without reference to coverage.
The Coverage Geography
The coverage geography of New York reflects where the media institutions are and where the narratives have settled. The actual geography includes many places that are neither. The NYC planning information is at nyc.gov/planning.
