That is an awfully ignorant statement.

> Newark: Unless you’re happy to live in a city with one of the worst unemployment rates in New Jersey, you might want to avoid Newark. The largest city in New Jersey is also one of its most jobless – a massive 11.3% of the population is unemployed. Just to put that in perspective, that’s more than double the US average. Even those lucky enough to have a job aren’t exactly living in style, with most households pulling in the distinctly below-average income of just $35,199 – over $20,000 less than the US average. Crime isn’t quite as bad as it is in some other places, but it still manages to fall within the bottom 5% percent.

Have you ever been? I grew up there and now live in Jersey City. I would rather live in both places and would never consider a suburb where there is nothing to do except drive to mediocre restaurants and boring ass bars.
Newark has the best food in the state, a hub of transportation to get to most places without a car, and fuck you the people are great.

The notion of "best" food only makes sense to the one who makes such a claim. For others, it doesn't mean much other than it's just your opinion.

Yak yak, where other place are you getting Portuguese, Spanish, Brazilian, and Ecuadorian. Newark is a food mecca. Stop being so afraid of cities, I promise we don't bite.

No, it's not an average suburban take on Newark. They provide some evidence that Newark isn't in great shape.

What a shitty article(and the link you posted is broken, remove the colon). It lists some of the most desirable areas of the entire Northeast as the worst places in the state. Clearly nobody wants to live in Jersey City or Asbury Park lol.

It's almost as if all the high earners fled to the suburbs to get away from the scary brown people
