Todt Hill and all that Mafia jazz

Check out CNN or Fox or MSNBC and you'll see a good old story about a Mafia Don (not the one in the White House) who got... ventilated?... on Staten Island yesterday.

That's some crazy shit!... a scene right outta the Godfather, or so Fox and CNN and MSNBC would have us think.

Apparently the prestigious Todt Hill hood, with the best views on the Eastern Seaboard south of Maine,  is just a-flush with big-time mafioso...

So, being a naive Canadian lefty whack-job, I thought I'd take a look at real estate in the Todt Hill neighbourhood.

Here's what a million and a half (US$) gets you on Staten Island, home of Mafia Central Command.

That's a pretty sweet spot, is it not? Five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a quarter acre lot twenty minutes drive from midtown Manhattan?

Here's what a million and a half (US$) gets you in Toronto. A raised bungalow on a fifty foot lot, twenty minutes drive from Bay and Front.


Looks to me like the City of Toronto should be trying to recruit Mafia bosses instead of Amazon, if affordable housing is the goal.
