America's jobless men: Decline of the working man | The Economist

this is a pretty good article about some of the issues in our country as a whole, and i think it's very telling to the city of Newark in particular.

All the projects get razed and the residents have to get sent somewhere out of town, and that ruins the place they get transported to.

Emerging from New Brunswick, they did plenty of that here, ruined South River and Sayreville until all the locals in these towns started moaning about the trash moving in. So now it is all out of there and down in Long Branch.
