Reply to Hotel Riviera is shutting down. Info in comments. by TenzeFiyer

So I can’t find any news articles on this yet, I’m assuming because it’s probably very new as of yesterday. I know someone who stays there long term (unfortunately). They are giving her family and others that stay there section 8 that can be used in any state because they have to vacate the location.

This is All I know so far. Don’t know why it’s closing. A bid to convert the Riviera to apartments was turned down back in October. So I don’t know what possibly could be happening now. But that area needs this. The Riviera unfortunately attracted drug addicts, prostitution, etc. hopefully something is coming there to raise the neighborhood’s livability and value.

Reply to EBT scam at ShopRite? by au79_79

Not a scam. They are probably just ran out of cash and you can buy diapers with EBT so they want to buy your groceries. And you buy the diapers

I agree. Loitering is illegal but not enforced. I believe arrests should be made. Loitering just make areas look bad. Especially in front of convenient stores, and liquor stores. Also bad for business

I wouldn’t call them “rich”. Do they make more money? Yes! Nothing wrong with people coming in “buying” property to live in. When people purchase a property they take care of it. These are properties that the majority of Newark natives wouldn’t have purchased any ways because the majority of us are renters. I think newark residents rent at a staggering 80%. And with the new developments these are places where no one was living anyways. It’s empty lots that make the city look back. Taxes and costs of materials and maintenance are up. Let me ask you this; So should landlords do nothing to make those properties look better and function well just to keep the rents low? Or should they put money in thier investments to make the place livable and nice? But that do come at a cost which will cause rent to be higher. No one stays anywhere for long. People will have to move out eventually. It sucks but it’s the way it is. Hoboken and jersey city wasn’t always as nice as it was. Newark is next on that list. Areas change all the time. I’d like to see Newark in a much better light before I leave this earth. It would be a great thing to see Newark at its best.

A little gentrification is OK. If everyone is poor in the city, the city won’t generate enough taxes to keep things going and making a beautiful. This is coming from a guy who was born and raised here. I’m OK with a little gentrification because what has been happening for the majority of my life here in the city wasn’t working.
