It’s terrible what happened. But to be super clear….those buildings aren’t in a historic district. That’s the difference.

The buildings knocked down by Edison along New Street ,Central ave and the dozens knocked down by Rutgers and NJIT throughout the decades are in the James Street historic Zone. Landmark status for Warren Street School meant nothing . It meant nothing to them. Edison doesn't give a damn because it's a multi-millionaire company. They'll just pay the fines and move on. NJIT and Rutgers do whatever they want because their attitude is "Newark needs them".

What is the value of these buildings other than having been built along time ago? I bet neither you nor any one else in this discussion knows “why” these building are”special”. What everyone really has their panties in a bunch over is the fact that Edison had the forethought to buy up property when I was cheap and is cashing out now. If you are going to be salty; at least be honest.🤷🏾‍♂️
