People need to not get too ahead of themselves. Newark is a long long way away from the other places mentioned. New towers are expensive, but huge swaths of the city are still some of the most affordable areas in the region. It's going to be a longgg time until/if folks are truly priced out akin to Hoboken.

Newark will never be Hoboken. Brooklyn will never be Manhattan. But! Newark will become a place where people actually care about. Year by year more people are watching Newark. People are coming into Newark saying I can make money here. As the rent prices keep rising and more out of Towner's come in willing to spend high rent money. Things will change. Garbage cans will pop up. Better restaurants will pop up. More up to date infrastructure will pop up. Then it's too late. People of Newark need to put their money together and start creating better opportunities. 10 years Newark will be a place where 50 percent of people living here can not afford.
