There isn't too much ghetto in Bergen County- Lodi and Garfield. Wyckoff isn't bad, it's close to Mahwah, Ramsey, Oakland .... NICE !
You know who was from that area, anyone remember, Amy Grossberg and Brian Peterson ? Rich kid baby killers.
I was going to mention that earlier but I figured no one would remember.
Also, back in the Nineties there was a stupid kid's show on...all right, I watched it a few times with my kid and laughed, too. It was called the Adventures of Pete and Pete, about two brothers named Pete and their parents. An actor who played one of the Petes was a Wyckoff kid.
Also, they kept it very quiet until afterward, but Vander Plaat funeral home on Wyckoff Avenue handled Richard Nixon's wake and funeral service.
Wyckoff was still a hick town when I was a kid growing up in Midland Park 40 - 50 years ago/1960s. The biggest business on Main Street was a huge feed and grain where we bought feed for our chickens. They sold hay and oats and other animal food--there were still farms in Wyckoff then besides Abma's, and a number of people had horses and cows. There was at least one dairy in Wyckoff that I remember - Sicomac Dairy on the road of the same name.
In the late 60s and through the 70s, white people came swarming out of the city as well as areas like Jersey City to get away from the scary colored people and Puerto Ricans, and towns like Wyckoff and Franklin Lakes that were semi-suburbs and semi dirt farms got built up and suddenly became upscale.
And now they ARE the scary people BWHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Though I would not call these towns "ghetto" either. Many some parts are not as nice as others...for example in Garfield the area near Passaic is not as nice as other parts. However, they are "borderline" at worst.

Danny Tamberelli, bringing me back to watching that show growing up

I dont know if this has been said but WE are all to blame. As a country we are raising a generation of aholes. Kids who get everything,need everything,want everything and then cry when they dont get it. Children are not taught patience,values,empathy or pretty much anything from their parents. Parents have the baby jesus syndrome where they think the entire world revolves around their kids. Think about how life has been made soo much easier for kids to act as idiots within the past 25 years and then you will understand why we have people such as this clown laughing in a mug shot.

But the baby boomers were the most spoiled generation up until that time when they were coming up in the 50s & 60s. Their parents did the sacrificing of WWII and they had an unprecedented run of economic benefits & good jobs almost their entire lives. It was when we used to have a strong middle class before Reagan.
And crime was much higher overall in the 1970s. Not sure blaming generations or "all of us" is the answer.
