Dunno if you've paid any attention, but Jersey City rents in those buildings aren't any lower than they are in Manhattan.

I've met people that moved from here to hells kitchen because it's cheaper, which is wild to me but I'm not as surprised as I thought I would be

They are for comparable units. A new “luxury” 1 bedroom with amenities in JC is going for $3500+, the same unit with amenities in NYC is $4500+

Dont think you understand the concept of luxury apartments then. No ones moving from nyc to live in a 100 year old walk up, they can get that in brooklyn

But did he build affordable housing? Did he keep the developers honest when they promised jobs for locals? Or when they made promises to the community in exchange to build?

Do an audit of developers and you will see lies, broken promises and the fleecing of JC taxpayers especially the poor and middle class.
