I get you have a chip on your shoulder because Newark has a crappy reputation but it’s never gonna be on par with NYC or seen in the same light. People have always spent time in Newark but I guess if you want a bunch of ex pat NYC yuppies this is your path to that. Have fun

No, but im also someone who doesn't want Newark to just be economically depressed and a place people don't spend time in.
It's a great city and deserves its time in the sun.

I think he is someone who can see the benefits and turn the negatives into a positive. Like he said route 21 may seem dangerous and hard to cross but people cross it everyday and I don’t think a life gets taken everyday on that road. Given what is near this tower the price is worth it

Because you do. Newark used to be affordable but as it continues to become a bedroom community for NYC transplants we’re all getting priced out

As long as you stay east of Broad Street and have experience with urban environments you'll be fine. It's just dead at night unless there's an even at the Prudential Center. Watch out for any homeless junkies that the city doesn't have the guts to control. Not as bad as the west coast junkies but still.

Apples and oranges. Let's not pretend Summit's downtown is clean and "nice". Bums there too.

The prices(w/o the affordable housing rate) seem about right. Not terrible, not a crazy bargain, just right. But yeah insulation better be top-notch lol. Still waiting for the pedestrian bridge to get started.

I don’t understand. Are you a developer? Do you want it to cost more to live in Newark?

I get that it's not the most friendly place to cross, but people do it every day without incident and just for reference, crossing over to Chelsea piers is the same experience, yet people gladly pay 6k in rent to live near that highway because of the amenities nearby.
Shaq 2 will be no different

This is an interesting way to tell Reddit that you got lots of disposable income
