Fr - the ironbound is delicious and I love it, but trying to find anything to eat past 7pm in downtown Newark is almost impossible. I have to get food out of town every night unless I want to hit RUHungry up on my walk back from campus.

If I chose to live in one of the “bougiest” apartments then that’s my own prerogative.

Absolutely not. I’m eager to get back. If you’re going to charge NYC rents in an overwhelmingly impoverished city - then you should have NYC level amenities, etc. Or at least Jersey City for fucks sake. They’re overcharging, calling it lux, for what I consider to be an average style of living.

Lmao u are not getting my point whatsoever but ok man. I have lived in NYC, Brooklyn, and JC and just saying, Newark has a very high cost of living for what you're actually getting. Regardless of the amenities in your apartment etc. The city is constantly covered in trash yet they price DT Newark as if its Grove Street.
And to add: I lived in a comparable apartment everywhere I live, so no I didn't choose to live in a shitty NYC apartment and then move to Newark just to complain about rent prices.
