Reply to Jersey City (Crime over the years) by DarthGabe2142
An 11 year downtown resident here (and a year back in the day but in jsq) and the only frequent crimes to me are the bad drivers / messenger bikers. Some property theft issues here and there. Otherwise it’s standard issue NYC area bad behavior — fare evasion, double parking, general assholery.

Tough one. Say hello and make a friend? At least that way they’ll share their cooking with you?

Very common filthy habit. See it around my building all the time. And sometimes the genius is still sitting in the car looking guilty AF.

I think it’s the LSP light rail parking lot. This way the turnpike is still to the right and you get a straight line view to lower Manhattan.

Dunno if Turkish fits your bill as there are a lot of overlaps. I’ve always been happy with Rumi’s in Paulus Hook. It’s BYO as well.

No. Please stop. The only tips should be to fare enforcement regarding scofflaws.

Yes but your car started losing value the moment you bought it.

At least the Prius is facing the correct direction. Maybe his battery went flat and he’s hoping for a little choo choo shove.

I feel so cheated. NY has been gallivanting for decades about it being the OG Gotham. Whole time it’s really been in south jersey.

Joking aside, ask yourself the following:
- Will my Manhattan friends still visit me?
- Do I need to use late night transport a lot? Because the path is not as plentiful as the MTA.
- Will the variety of dining options meet my needs (also not as plentiful as the city)?
- Are my culture needs going to be met?
I have colleagues headed back to the city because JC to them is a “wasteland.” But if you’re coupled up or have a family, it’s a nice urban alternative to the city, especially DTJC.

This type of accidentally anti Semitic whataboutism is why folks don’t take BDS seriously. Israel/Palestine has nothing to do with members of a black supremacist cult murdering Jewish and non-Jewish Americans solely due to their identity. Next you’re going to pin violence in Greenville on the KKk.
