yes it is a terrible area...even Tony Soprano had a gun put to his head. lol
It is ashame for the good people there. The same for Asbusy Park. What it needs is for the our goverment to wake up and do somthing abut it instead of sending all our money to Iraq . Our people here are desperate for our help.
I agree Dover is not as bad as people make it out to be, they dont have the best schools and the downtown area doesnt appeal to everyone, but it does have a direct train route to NY and its central location.
I find it unfair to use a slice of pizza to compare parts on NJ being expensive. Cheese is the main reason why pizza costs go up and down, but mostly up, mozzarella is not cheap anymore. However 1.50 for a decent slice of new jersey pizza is still a great price, go anywhere in the city and the pizza doesnt taste as good and cost almost double.
omg, i read some negative reviews on JC... I love it! Gold coast?! Hope on the PATH to NYC? Anyone?? It's not that bad ppl... it's nice. You can't buy a 1bd condo for less than $500K in JC..
Parts of Jersey City are nice, some not so nice. This is true of any city. Besides the downtown area, Jersey City still has a very high crime rate. According to the Morgan Quitno Ratings (which bases their figures on FBI statistics), Jersey City, I believe, is the 317th(or 54th) Most Dangerous City in America(This is out of 371 Cities, 371 being the most dangerous city in America, which at this time is St. Louis). So based on crime statistics, Jersey City has more crime per 1,000 people than both Paterson (ranked 261) and Elizabeth (ranked 258)
Also,according to Morgan Quitno, Camden (ranked 367) was the 5th most dangerous city in the country after several years of claiming the most dangerous city spot at 371. Trenton (ranked 358) was 14th most dangerous and Newark (ranked 350) was the 22nd most dangerous city in America.
With that, Brick was rank the safest city in America for 2007. Toms River came in at 14th, Hamilton was ranked 31st, and Edison Township was ranked 23rd in the safest cities category (again, 1 being the safest, 371 being the most dangerous).
You forgot JC NJ has turned to garbage. We have the privilige of being conjested here and paying for all the welfare programs that are attracting more and more filth to NJ. There is really no reason to even live here. I am currently looking to move out of this entire area. I am not gonna follow the herds to the south. I'm a full blooded yankee. Just cant do it. So I am stuck here till I figure this mess out.
I was born in NYC but raised in JC. I left JC about 13 years ago. The place is a damned slum in my opinion. My family is still there though. I think they're nuts.
I am in Bergen as well and really want out. It's ridiculous how much we pay for everything. From taxes to insurance. All of this to subsidize the ghettos.
Of course now, another 1% sales tax! Please people stop voting for corrupt Democrats!

You should see the taxes here in Princeton! There like Satan released his worst on us! I definitely wouldn't go to Trenton, Vineland, Atlantic City, Newark, Jersey City, Asbury Park, Camden, and more.
