Of course but it's not as bad as it was in 2020 and 21 they really need light up the park next to 7eleven they have a war memorial that looks like shit from the homeless tossing shit over the fence. The city also need to start forcing these charities to clean up after themselves. There's tons of food containers and piles of clothes in that park almost daily. The lady who's allowed to be live on that corner for years is also a issue.

I work in the area that 7eleven on ferry street was a trip before corporate took it over. They had the old security guard selling drugs there and these nice Mexican ladies had a taco cart near it and they made amazing stuff. They got ran out of there from all the garbage hanging around the 7eleven. It took a few acts of violence and complaints from customers before Newark assigned a cop to that corner and 7eleven corporate came in and cleaned up the store

This. The iron corridor runs from Georgia up to Newark. Both the original purchaser and user of the tun need to get the book thrown at them. The original purchaser can claim it was stolen all they want, the purchaser needs to be in jail too if they didn't report that gun stolen.

There's ads all over the place that say "don't buy for the other guy" and yet DA's are willing to drop the gun charges to get an easy plea. Fuck all that. Throw the fucking book at them. Legal gun owners shooting paper for fun is not the same as a punk kid who got "disrespected" by another.

I like the north side of town around the Bloomfield, Belleville border. Depending on where you live on the north side, the light rail will provide very convenient access to NJIT. Buses along the Bloomfield Avenue corridor are also pretty good as well. If you wanna live outside of Newark; Belleville, Bloomfield and Kearny are all good choices imo. I use to live in Belleville.

  1. Budget
  2. Parking?
  3. School for kids
  4. Pets
  5. Level of comfort with living in a city and all that comes with it.
