Honestly it’s worse cause there’s no central downtown, it’s just suburban sprawl divided by a bunch of shitty looking strip malls

I grew up in Wayne and this is correct. From a town planning perspective it's awful.

Downtown comprises the police station, library and Valley high school opposite the now-Whole Foods strip mall - but yes.

I agree that it would be nice to have a walkable area to do stuff there like a Boonton or Teaneck or such.

im cool with that ngl. its clean, quiet, and the houses are well-kept.

i live near the NY border. most places are like that here.

exception would probably be Norwood, Westwood and Ramsey.

This is the mentality of so many jersey people unfortunately. No wonder our cities are in such crappy shape.
