This is a fact. *I also never step into Adega

But that’s besides the point, I’ve ordered from xscape cafe, sabor unido, eat frequently at Sihana, Casanova grill either ferry or adams, Souza fit, taste of Brazil. With the exception of Sihana, which is great food, the others are low quality for the price. They ALL raised their prices. Sihana is either keeping the same price or shrinking their portion. Their salmon salad and anything salmon related look like they cut it in half. It’s literally smaller than a sponge. I’m like whereTF is the salmon at? It’s tiny AH. And now all these places, I’m looking at you Souza fit and Sihana, they put an extra 2$ for credit card fee. That wasn’t calculated in before!! If it’s not walking distance, I’m not ordering from Uber eats, because they ALL raises their prices.

The other places.. lord have mercy just high price and low quality.

And randomly fuck Seabras grocery store (all of them) bc they have a monopoly in the ironbound they charge 8-12$ for a block of Minas cheese, and you open that shit and its expired. It’s not the first time, you get something within their “expiration date “ and the item is bad or them keeping expired shit on the shelf. Or that incident that they found rats within their produce (heard it was the Seabra Harrison location).. not only groceries are really high but bad quality

it happened in Jersey City, and people relocated.

The same will have to happen to Newark, you will be priced out and forced to move to a neighboring town if you want to stay in the area, or relocate completely.

The city, state, etc wont care, because someone will be replacing you. The building of new towers wont stop, more land will be sold, more homeowners will sell and more condos will continue to go up. Newark will be the next JC in terms of nonstop construction.

You are right to expect a lot....it will come. It takes time. People forget that the the famed Newark Ave pedestrian area in downtown JC only happened in 2015....like 15 years after the big downtown JC developments added thousands of luxury units. Things will happen slowly bit by bit. more towers leads to better streets which makes developers want to build more housing which makes the retail to do better which then creates more interest in housing, etc.

Lmao then you shouldn’t be talking as if that represents a norm in Newark. If you choose the most expensive place here but not the most expensive in NY, it don’t make sense to be like “I’m paying more in Newark than NY wtf !!” nigga I’m sure the most expensive crib in Columbus Ohio costs more than a little one bedroom in NY too. But it makes no point to say so because that’s not an average number.
