Yes, there are brown people in Freehold. Plus as mentioned, it is where the county courthouse is so the accused and the convicted will always be coming and going.

I did jury duty there. The main drag is cute and has good food choices. You might not want to live smack dab in the center of town.

As someone said, take a ride to the area and what surrounds it and see what's there.

I used to live in the area a few years back. There was a large Hispanic population near downtown. Funny I always seemed to see a lot of these characters coming out of church on Sundays. They must be some real bad actors.

Wouldn't you know? Have you ever lived outside of NJ? I know you're from Bergen County originally.

Never said anything bad about the main drag, though that has seen better days too. A lot of the fun stores that were there back in the mid 90s are long gone now. "Brown" people are one thing, but illegal is another. Illegal sucks up all the resources and taxpayers suffer for it. I've been to the area many times, and know what surrounds it: bland, soulless developments built on former farms, traffic choked country roads and loads of people with attitudes.

What's your definition of "ghetto"?

Nope, but I am currently living outside the country. Much more expensive here.

My little joke was just a dig at your perpetual negativity. Some people only see the dark side of the moon. It's a choice, and that's dandy for you, but you can't complain when someone points it out.

Well, no, I guess you can and will complain and I should expect that. This logic is hurting my head. I need coffee.

But yes, I know many people who live in other states. It is generally cheaper elsewhere, except for the one who lives in the DC suburbs. Lower property tax, but made up in things like "personal property tax", wherein, for example, you pay a year tax for owning a car

Dark Side of the Moon? Are you the lunatic on the grass?

Sure some people choose to see the glass as 1/2 full, others see it as 1/2 empty. They’re stuck in a life they think they have no control over. I see it as neither 1/2 full nor 1/2 empty. I get another glass and fill it!

OK, points for creativity there!

How do know that Freehold Boro is a sanctuary city? It's always had a large hispanic population that usually work as day laborers and/or in trades. Are there more migrants being literally bussed into the Boro?

The glass is 1/2 empty, contaminated, and leaking. Also it's the last one.
