Agreed but this is capitalism and sadly demand is here. Lets build housing so they dont have to come deeper into Ferry. If they can stay 2-3 blocks away from NEwark Penn, great but dont come further. Most of these projects are exactly this. There is no culture by this site. While theyre are some homes, this empty lots can be used to house these new citizens. Money talks and your landlord will sadly chose money over “culture”. Ironsbound is quite special as it had a big homeownership, other areas are not that great shape. So lets have them keep Downtown and make sure these big developments pay taxes to help contribute. Newark has 30% poverty, we need mode income to generate taxes and better services.
