Officials in Newark are suing New York City and Mayor Bill de Blasio in an attempt to shut down a program that relocates homeless families from the Big Apple to New Jersey.

Homeless is a huge category that include many with mental illness and drug addiction. Diblasio must have heard Newark is improving. Shocked, simply shocked that Murphy would encourage Newark's lawsuit!
After all NJ is now a sanctuary state. No one ever qualified who was seeking sanctuary from what or where. NYC used to send its garbage to NJ. So any refuse the statue of liberty doesn't want now goes to NJ.
Instead of suing, how about fix Newark 1st and the rents will push up and NYC will have to look elsewhere. If you look at the report, Nyc isn't sending homeless only to Newark. They are sending them too all the poor spots with low rent places in NJ. Which is why I see more and more homeless looking folks commuting to NYC on NJ transit without paying. They really should police NJ transit more, too much farebeats.

Newark can't fix Newark if a problem it's already dealing with (homelessness) is being exacerbated by its humongous neighbor to the east.

Why doesn't NYC fix NYC first instead of paying to move their homeless elsewhere? NYC isn't fixing the problem, they are just giving the problem to someone else.
You can't stop NYC from sending homeless to any place with an open rental market. Many of the landlords also don't like the idea but they are happy to take money.
Newark should clean up the city and make the place more business attractive which will increase the rental and property values.
It doesn't matter how many homeless folks NYC sends over, get businesses to start setting up shop and provide jobs. Then the people who wants to work and live near Newark will push the homeless rentals out.

So just because NYC can do it makes it right? You are just moving a problem to somewhere else, not fixing it. It's quite sad you would not only defend this practice, you are criticizing the city you are passing the problem to.
not sure why this is upsetting to anyone in NJ. They welcome illegals there, what's a few more?
This is about the homeless, not immigrants. It's also about New Jersey and not Boston. Reading comprehension is your friend.
