Reply to comment by FartFragrance in Analysis shows disproportionate use of force by Paterson police: Officers appear to use force against Black and Hispanic people at greater rate than law enforcement statewide by rollotomasi07071

From a 2/2022 article...

"The Paterson Police Department has 29.5% white officers, while the census puts that portion of the population at 8.5%. Meanwhile, 51.1% of the police force are members of various Latino cultures, while the census says Paterson’s Hispanic residents make up 61% of the population."

Reply to Moving from NJ to California by bartowskii77

I’ve done both — moved to WA in 2014 and drove out there and just moved back in November and shipped 2 cars to NJ. It really depends on the type of trip you want for yourself. We ultimately decided to ship on the way back because the cost of fuel was so high during the timeframe of our trip. It was about $3k to ship a car and SUV from WA and took about 5 days, door-to-door. We used AirTags to keep track of them and have peace of mind. The company we used is out of Philly - Umbrella Transport, I believe. Having the freedom and flexibility of having a car for the NJ to WA trip was great. The way back we did an RV and I felt a little trapped. Good luck with your move!
