That's why I'm a little suspicious with all the posting and enthusiasm about all these new real estate developments happening in this subreddit. The people I know that live in Newark can't afford anything in these new developments. I'm not saying we should leave vacant lots and abandoned buildings but don't act like the residents who were here in the bad times are going to be able to still be here in good times. These developments aren't geared towards born and raised

Every time you hear about a developer, giving a percentage of affordable housing and then you see what they want for that supposed affordable housing it's not really affordable. Over the years looking up at rents here and in New York City, I'm more convinced the term affordable housing is a buzzword than an actual thing

Yeah but then you would have the issues that minorities farmers had when the Biden administration tried to give them special funding. The white farmers sued claiming the government can't discriminate towards one group or another and they won that case. I can see the same thing happening again

Just give it up already there should be more demand for school funding and housing instead.

Yep it's a great selling point when the kid whos parents co-signed and probably paying the rent for the "luxury" apartment can tell his or her friends I live near Harriot Tubman square. Mucho progressive points I guess which will be factored into the rental price by the developer

Probably because there's absolutely no way to justify what they did based on the video that I guess will be public later today. Because if there was the police department and their union would be the first one to make attempts

It's terrible but I notice the lack of outrage in the media and on social media and other groups that came along with other police killings. I don't know if it's because it's not the usual race of the cops that kill or not but I didn't notice the same constant broadcast that I saw in other incidents over the years

But a lot of places claim they were an important part of the underground railroad the plaques and everything I saw in Delaware pretty much said it was an important part of the underground railroad. I'm just saying there was a missed opportunity to honor somebody who was born and raised in the city instead of going with a figure that's got multiple statues and plaques in different states. Aside from the fact that when you compare other statues in this park to the Tubman one it looks out of place

I saw it yesterday and it looks like someone twisted a coat hanger into a shape of something. Personally well I think they should have given the Italians a chance to replace the Columbus statue with someone else I also think why isn't it a statue of a famous Newark born person instead of someone who has no real links to the city instead? Tubman and Columbus have statues and plaques around the country already. Something that people from out of town could see and learn a little about the history of the city

So they didn't learn anything from before the renovation I see. They had a Starbucks over there that eventually closed but from the day it opened it had the worst hours I've ever seen it was like 8am to 3pm then towards the end it became 9am to noon
