You can blame Rutgers & NJIT for that. They leveled hundreds of townhomes, brownstones, replaced the Newark institution Muellers flowers & garden center with a private "park". Another "temporary" use. As I said previously, as a lifelong Newarker, "Temporary" in Newark means 20 years at least.

As I understand it, that NJIT park is rather temporary. Colleges love putting up buildings; they will get to it.

I’ve got no particular love for Rutgers, or NJIT, but these buildings were all over the place, not just on the Rutgers or NJIT campuses, and they aren’t now.
