You maligned neoliberalism and then took up the cause of landlords, what did I miss?

You hate neoliberalism but love landlords?

Yeah it’s truly baffling but this guy is just making idiotic arguments based on his own feelings so I don’t put much weight in it anyway. And agreed I love NJ but there’s no sense in papering over our issues and pretending they’re not a thing. How else are we gonna improve them otherwise?

Oh you mean that small fraction of Newarkers that comprises….half of the city?

I figure by actually researching a topic before formulating an opinion on it. Try doing it and you’ll be able to do the same

DE is famously an urban Mecca. Gtfo out of here

Yup you got it. It’s also much cheaper to go to those schools in state than it is to go to the equivalent schools in state in NJ. The schools in NY are much better than the equivalents in NJ too. This guy is just going off of vibes to form his opinions lol

New York is on the list but ranks lower than PA and DE. This also gets into the main reasons kids leave the state: cost. It’s more expensive to go to in state schools here than it is to go to a lot of private schools in other states. You really have to actually do some research before assuming.

Looks like New York sends a similar amount of kids to college (when you adjust for their population compared to ours). How come so many New Yorkers stay in state compared to us? Less rebellious kids?

Less total college students? Or per capita? Can you share some sources to back up your claims?

Damn sorry to hear you used to live in Philly. That place is worlds better then Newark

That’s quite an assumption to make, what are you basing that on? Why aren’t other states doing it more than us?

Newark is fucked

Yup we are the largest exporter of college age kids to other states. Not a great look

And the soil a farm would be set on?

Lots of rain and wind coming tomorrow again so I’m guessing the trees are gonna lose more of their buds this weekend too

Except it’s also awful in our cities too

Where else is it illegal other than NYC?

NYC is worlds better for stopping for pedestrians than NJ

There are absolutely better places for it than NJ though. Worse places too but we shouldn’t kid ourselves and not pretend NJ has a big problem with this, especially since we are so densely populated and urbanized.

NJ is insanely bad with this especially in our urban areas like Newark and Jersey city. Meanwhile I’ve been in much less dense/urban areas of other states (particularly California) and they’re much better about stopping for pedestrians

If you want your food to be farmed in Newark that way I hope you like the taste of heavy metals

It is the shame of this state that we still don’t have a marijuana dispensary in either of our two biggest cities after all this talk of correcting historic injustices of targeting black and brown folks in the war on drugs.

This is a good one if you don’t want to play with other people LOL
