Yeah…not surprised.

That’s exciting news! Thank you for sharing!

And here we go …

Good for him. Now he’s on top.

He went to arts high school right?

Lived in Newark the same house my entire life but had to move to East Orange recently bc of a house fire. But will be moving back to Newark when we finally sell the property and buy a new home. (Looking at places around the South Orange/Irvington area.

I'm close with the people on the citisquare development team and recently asked about it (yesterday)

They told me they're planning on starting construction this summer

There's also used to live/work/study in Newark and want to keep up with the city despite living elsewhere

Ugh

Thanks a lot! I appreciate the help!

I would start here: OFFICE OF AFFORDABILITY AND SUSTAINABLE HOUSING Economic and Housing (973) 733-6575

Do you know how I can get a direct phone number to the city for this specific situation? And thanks

400 Irvine Turner Blvd? And I just walk in and ask for management I’m assuming .. thanks I’ll try and how do I get a hold of RPM?

Maybe I’ll do a Google form type poll one day. Reddit only allows a few options and I came up with these on a whim.

Some of the district schools are good and there are lots of good charters. We’re in the process of picking a school for our child now.

Been here 7 years. Own my one place but will almost certainly leave for the suburbs in a year or two so that my child can attend better public schools. Newark public schools from what I can tell are not going to improve anytime soon.

Just have to buy a house.

I lived in Newark, moved away, then came back for school while living elsewhere.

They do not "walk in the middle of speeding traffic " they walk between cars at red lights. Knock it off with the hyperbole.

There should have been a "I was born and/or raised but live elsewhere" option.

Philly has a lot more affordable apartments than Newark and typically in much nicer areas with far more to do than there is in Newark. And sure the region is expensive but Newark was always affordable. That’s changing now and you seem to be good with it. Good for you but if you don’t already own a home here I suggest you do that asap otherwise enjoy being priced out.

Ahh yes, because Philly doesn't have apartments for rent for 2K.

You also fail to point out that Philly's economy and region is also considerably worst and poorer than North Jersey and lower NY...or the fact that Philly is a more dangerous city than Newark.

Is 2500 for a studio a bit pricey for some in Newark, yes, but its still way below market rate for a city/town in the NJ/NY region. We should be building more housing for the poorer residents, im not arguing with you there, but we also shouldn't just be grouping only poor people in the city. There is a reason for that poverty rate and it starts with the low incomes of residents which makes the city unattractive to businesses that could provide a decent living for many.

You can have a cultural hub and shiny new toys and still have a more affordable city. Look no further than Philly for that. You shouldn’t be trying to justify 2500 dollar studios for a city where 1/3 people live in poverty

Literally, what the fuck dude. I never said I wanted this city to be New York, but I can always want better for my city like more nightlife, more businesses downtown, a larger tax base so we can actually continue to improve the quality of life for everyone that lives here, support better schools, etc.

But sure, I have a chip on my shoulder over NYC... if I wanted NYC I can be there in 20 minutes, no reason for Newark to be that.

If you want Newark to continue to be a high crime city, a place where half its population never has a chance at a decent life, absentee slum lords, etc then just say that cause it's one thing to be excited about the fact that this city is growing and another to want Newark to push out people... im the former not that latter
