I mean in the West Essex area and North Bergen are plenty of towns where - if you had a job in town - it wouldn't be necessarily essential to own a car

Oh absolutely, I just wonder if the teacher subreddit is a realistic sample of the entire country. I’d imagine there would be more disheartened, abused teachers drawn to social media to vent. Kind of like how the parenting sub Reddit is primarily parents at their wits end.

I’m inclined to believe that the problem is more widespread than not, though. These are federal based incentives and policies influencing every district. There also seems to be a clear shift in parenting attitudes over the past 20 years.

Yea that does sound familiar lol I honestly didn't know what it was called or what exactly they use it for even.

Visit the teachers subreddit.

It's all over the country.

Everyone’s talking about this as if that parking lot isn’t for MetLife stadium

NJ is probably the most walkable state...between the shore towns, Newark, Jersey City, Hoboken, New Brunswick...all extremally walkable. Hell most of North Jersey is walkable because the towns are so compact.

Nice, this site is awesome I’ve seen it in some YouTube content. Thanks for sharing

Also check out this channel if you haven’t seems like probably you’d love it lol https://youtube.com/@CityNerd

> The quality of public education is always a district by district matter- but I’m wondering if these behavioral problems are a nationwide issue, or if the stronger teachers union in NJ today affords them more control over the classroom, despite Covid challenges.

It is a nation wide issue. Stronger unions don’t really help combat indiscipline.

This is just the bigger cities but if the cities aren't walkable then generally everywhere in the MSA isn't either. https://www.walkscore.com/cities-and-neighborhoods/

Bunch of empty space that gets used a handful of times a year..Definitely is a waste, even if it makes for a good pic..which in all reality only looks good because of the sky.

Parking lots are the worst.

Not a fan of that subreddit

Love this comment

Oh yea I'm facing away from the mall..I was walking back to my car..idk what stadium this is in the pic.

Yea I like the picture..not necessarily what the picture is of. Replace the parking lot with a field, and the stadium with a mountain, and I'd be in heaven.

Oh, now that you mention I actually have been there on that cool windy drive along the water and hike at the Goat Hill Overlook. I want to go and do that cool rail trail there too on my bike. I love New Hope!!!

Never knew much about a downtown in Lambertville though

Thank you, I couldn't find a page for the mall

This is true

Definitely go across the bridge to New Hope PA while you're there. That's the much bigger and more popular tourist spot. There's beautiful huge houses there.

Thank you!

I’m going to check out Lambertville thank you for the rec! Any must sees there?

I feel like this is probably the best "photo" I've ever taken..if that makes sense..probably not lol

Nope, grew up in Middletown. Red Bank is obviously very walkable but no way I could’ve gotten around growing up in mtown without a car. Most of the other towns nearby I’d say the same.

Certain communities have a walkable Downtown nearby in Monmouth county but beyond that I couldn’t imagine not having a car here

Yea idk what stadium this is next to the mall but I took this walking back to the parking structure attached to the mall.

So I’m gonna assume you live in Harrison and never left the town if you think that
