In 1910 relations wouldn't have been particularly difficult; Germany was no more anti-semetic than other European countries at the time. A lot of the sections on the map labled "German" might have actually included many German Jews that had migrated in the 1840s-60s, and identified more as German than Jewish. The actual "Jewish" section on the map, the old Third Ward, was mostly more recently-arrived eastern European Jews.
By the 1930s though, there were tensions between the Jews and Germans. By that point, many Germans had moved to either the far western edge of the city, or to Irvington, while the Jews had begun to move into Clinton Hill. The pro-Nazi German-American Bund operated out of a headquarters on Springfield Avenue and battled in the streets with Jewish Newarkers. Newark Jews organized a self-protection group, known as the Minutemen, with the help of Jewish mobster Abner Zwillman, and basically crushed the Germans' power.

Not to be the debby-downer or shit talker;
But wasn't this the SAME administration that had a "Needy-Persons Ban" that restricted unhoused folks coming in from NY from using their SOTA vouchers? Or creating a law that would fine those same folks 500 dollars in the same year of 2019?
And to be fair- I've seen a bit of uhh..Anti-homeless architecture in downtown- which..isnt good?

It's alright. Not where I wanna be long term. The economy/job is what's keeping me here for now.

Most of those neighborhoods were probably folks who knew of each other - lots of migrants came from Germany in the 1840s-50s, I believe.

I remember seeing these maps at the museum growing up. I think there are others for different time periods.

Definitely going to happen, Calvin is not the type of attorney who will help a developer get a project approved and then sell the land for higher profit. He told me about Vibe tower being fake and that someone else is about to build something there, the Westinghouse and 900 broad. As for the developer Calvin did say that the city supports the project and that the developer family will be paying for the construction I believe so no tax abatement. I imagine the tower only being over 100 million sense halo 3 is 90 million
