Jersey City, not so much. Despite the corruption and a plethora of areas which are beyond rundown, there are still polished areas and well-known attractions within the city (Think about the draw of tourism from Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty alone).

I'm a bit shocked about Paterson, but Elizabeth does have some horrible areas.

From my experience the only part of Elizabeth that seemed dangerous was the far eastern part just under the EWK and the turnpike and that may only be 1/3 of the entire city

Other than that Elizabeth is mostly working class with a mix of cultures. It never really seemed dangerous to me outside of the east side.

Hey.. At least the list doesn't even mention Newark in the top 20 anymore.

Keep in mind that Newark is making strides that VERY few cities even come close to.

For real, if there's anybody that should be annoyed and irritated, IT SHOULD BE ME. Always following me around BEGGING for my attention. You sound like I hurt your feelings somewhere down the line. I even sent you a private message asking you if you had a problem and you said NO but yet every single time, I say something. You have to be the first one to have out the Kleenex crying.

I don't know you and as far as I'm concerned, I don't wanna get to know you either. Trust me, if I'm miserable, you sure as hell love being around me. Misery LOVES company. You should just stop altogether. You clearly are mental and need to take your meds.

And the other person that cosigns you seems to want my attention to. I didn't know that posting whatever bothered people. Don't kill yourself.

Reading your posts is like watching a train wreck. Just can't help but look.

At some point you must disclose your motivation for all of your negative posts in this forum angerinthenation. I'm curious.

I'm curious as to why you're so hung up on negative posts about NJ.

This is a NJ forum, and nowhere does it say that posts are restricted to either positive or negative opinions of the state. I agree that some of the negative posts are little more than trolling, but those are easy enough to ignore...just add the offending member to your ignore list.

Personally, as played out as it may seem, I think calling attention to the negative parts of NJ life is just as important as doing so to the good.
