>who keep a cheap rental room in newark for official address

So there are cheap enough rooms to rent that this makes economic sense and yet you believe they need to spend over $2k per month on rent? To be clear, your solution is to have someone who has never seen the US to move to NJ and use a car to commute, do you have any idea how expensive their auto insurance would be? Isn't your mom calling from upstairs for lunch or something ?

I lived in 3 different apartments from studio to 3 bedroom over 8 years living in Newark where I earned my grad degree and still work for the state government. Salaries for public employees are public. Almost no positions would make fiscal sense to do this over.
