Thank you, I am delighted to hear that, I think I will adapt just well to the place soon. Just that I don't know if it a red flag, since my agent told me she afraid we were too "cute" for the neighborhood (perhaps because we are working in academic) and want to make sure I know exactly that I want to live here.

The book was amazing… such a tragic story. Brothers, stay out the game. Ain’t nothing out here for us in these streets but death and imprisonment.

Sometimes I wonder who killed him and what that person is doing now

My employer forbids me from using that...

You absolutely should - it's one of those books that will live in your brain forever. Both inspirational and crushing at the same time.

Edit: It will resonate even more with people who have a connection with the city and surrounding areas, as you'll know exactly where/what they're talking about

I want to read that!

Oh man. I didn't even think about that. Holy shit that is heartbreaking. And he was a scientist by training. He could have had a business. It is heartbreaking.

An excellent book and looking forward to the movie. Sad that what he was murdered over is now legal.

I haven't looked at the halo floor plans, but any height comparison would be based on building height, not stories. There can be a small margin of error for proposed and as built height, so unless Halo is barely surpassing Newark National (which is the tallest building), it isn't complicated.

I mean I've been working near Penn station for a good 17 years So that might have just been her spot when I finally saw her. It really is a travesty that she was out there for as long as he said. I feel like there's now an invested urgency to get rid of the homeless around newark penn because of the luxury apartments by the city.

One of the officers that works at Penn Station told me that she’s been there since he was a rookie & he’s been on TPD (Transit Police Department) for 9 years

I was dead thinking that like what if it was a lil cat or something in there

Oh good, it took a while She was out there when it snowed covered in snow and in all the elements for a couple years

Nah that’s crazy

She was helped by Newarks H.O.T (Homeless Outreach Team)

If you haven't read the book, I highly highly recommend it.

"The short and tragic life of Robert Peace"

By the universities it’s even worse I went to drop off a door dash order in a building and car was gone when I came back

The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace

>The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace is a biography by Jeff Hobbs about an intellectually brilliant young African-American man, Robert DeShaun Peace (June 25, 1980 – May 18, 2011), who left Newark, New Jersey to attend Yale University, but fell back into the streets when he returned to Newark and was murdered, aged 30, "face down, knees bent", in a drug-related shooting.

More on his murder

I hate Edison/Goettsman. They are the biggest stumbling block to Newark progress.

Either it gets redesigned to incorporate the facade, or it dies.

It may get downsized as well. I suspect that's what the "preservation" people -comprised of activists, really want. (Not to upset demographics dominated by James Street) If a downsided dumb 15 story 20% affordable version wins demo permit, you'll see how corrupt the process is.

I believe Newark will never see a building taller than 1180. Even Halo may fall short, as residential stories are way shorter than office stories.

Current Newark leadership don't want true skyscrapers. A true skyscraper or super tall is a symbolic "green light" to multiple developers & gentrification.

Damn. Sorry bruh. I wonder what would happen if someone was in the car. SMH m

I know, I’m leaving work early to get that all done today. Appreciate you looking out though
