Ownership of people that actually LIVE IN NEWARK. 75 percent of Newark are renters. That means the landlord lives in another town. That means the people that are paid to take care of Newark just need to do the minimum. Who is going to call their council people to take care of Newark. Renters in Newark dont even know who to call if something goes wrong in their apartment. Who is going to call their respective precincts to walk their neighborhood. Most people don't even know their precinct. I just moved to Newark from Brooklyn and I see people who don't even know they in a billion dollar town. It's Deja Vu. Don't worry in ten years you going to see trash cans everywhere.

That is too high, owning a home is biggest wealth tool for americans. Newarkers effectively cannot build wealth with homes. What else can they do?
