Would love to see this development happen further up in north Newark maybe along Park Place or Grove Street the light rail would be a huge benefit and Springfield ave (with major bus routes like the 25 and the 1running more frequently) I'm not a fan of ppl coming in last minute and buying properties while forcing up rents/living cost but there are plenty of empty lots along major corridors in Newark why are making your construction difficult by having to demolishing stuff

Honestly the later half of that article was pretty dumb and felt mad nimby

However the developer is unnecessarily creating issues for themselves there isn't a shortage of empty lots in or around adjacent transit hubs if my memory serves me well

The lot across the street is literally empty Not to mention the benefits we would achieve by building this closer to the broad St station instead. Growing and building more houses are good and there are plenty of places where this can and will work but destroying homes isn't how you convince the community at large to see it nothing more than rich ppl tearing down their community
