Worst towns in NJ (Newark, Paterson: relocating, houses, rent)

Why is that sad? If taxes are lower close by and you can stomach living there-why would you stay where you are?
Maybe you should find something to occupy your time so you won't have to ponder such things.

What's practically all your life? 15 years? I've lived here over 40 years which IS my entire life. If you've got a problem with reading other opinions that differ from yours then that's your hang up. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. For better or worse.

Yep, especially on this particular thread which seems to have a sense of immortality to it (it's well over a year old). I guess the topic: 'worst towns in NJ', can't really get old? lol

It can't? God help us all.

We hope to renovate another building for riverfront condos with a historic flair. Also, we want to put in a bed and breakfast as there is lots to do in Phillipsburg, (steam engine train ride, restaurants, Easton's state theatre, Crayola Factory) but few quaint places to stay near the river views. Wish us luck! We are also open to any comments and suggestions. Many thanks for this opportunity.

I like the location of Phillipsburg, and it was getting quite vacant looking.
Your plan sounds wonderful . A B&B with new, additional renovated homes, a great idea. However, what do you do with the large amount of sex offenders in the Phillipsburg area? When checking the local area for my daughter who lives just over the border. It was shocking how many squares show up in the town. I wasn't the only one who noticed that, the neighborhood across the border all talked about it. So then, are they still there in the low income housing, or will they move elsewhere?
And in that case, "elsewhere" is not hoping for that either.
