I don’t have the email

Did you already email the shaq tower ppl?

Trying to understand what these 100k a year people be spending their finances on lol

I like to bike for fun and the only time I was comfortable doing it was April 2020

Median income in Newark is 23,426.

So yes, making 5 times that is a lot.

And the soil a farm would be set on?

It's a closed loop system. It's not irrigating from the Passaic goddamn river.

Tbh i have a few friends from Newakr who are making 100k and with their partner also making 70-100k so its not just outsiders. 100k really isnt alot tbh and thats a shame

Meanwhile I’m looking for any new apartment complex that do subsidiaries for low income because I need asap?

The “Brooklyn” effect. Young upwardly mobile people looking get on the gentrification train early. Downtown Elizebeth and parts of East orange are seeing thing

It is being appealed however, so we'll see.

In the winter time, the city allows the homeless population to sleep inside the station with heavy police oversight (as noted). Before the early commuting hours theyre all dispersed out and they tend to hang around a 3-4 block area radius of the station until the cold evening temperatures come around again. I understand it’s VERY jarring to encounter this as you arrive into the station, been there myself. It’s not a solution to the problem at hand of course; but it’s a humane gesture - having these people freeze to death outside would just strain our health services and emergency services. To some degree, this is the world we live in unfortunately and I don’t expect the number of homeless people in the tri-state to be going down anytime soon…

Interesting excerpt:

Their study noted that between 2015 and 2020, high-income households earning more than $150,000 per year increased by 151% in Newark and by 75% in Jersey City.

They need to open the sidewalks around shaq tower soon, its been 2 years of absolute mayhem crossing 21 especially with the Gateway Center pedestrian tunnel closed. Its so unsafe in that intersection!!

What about people with disabilities? Elderly folks? Twenty feet is no laughing matter to a lot of people who live here and deserve to be able to get around.

When I lived in Philly, I biked everywhere. In Newark, biking means putting your life in some crazy driver's hands and trying to ride over un-maintained streets. Seriously, I blew out like 3 tires in the first few months living here when I had never had to replace a tire anywhere else I lived. It's a shame.

Wait till you get a car and see the potholes everywhere

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

ok did a motor clock you across your head?

I came up here when I was 25 and by then i’d already had my license for 10 years. People think being aggressive gives them the right away. Someone ran the stop sign on 22 and thank God I’m as good of a driver as i am. I was able to avoid them but i did make them following behind me the worst experience in their life

The sidewalk across the street looks perfectly walkable.

Now that I think of it, it does

I was there on the 23 of March, and yes, you still go on the road. It’s just around the block for like maybe 5 mins.

When I moved to Newark I planned on riding my bike to work. However with the lack of infrastructure I was almost hit at least once a week. I take a scooter now because I can ride it on the sidewalk
