Of course good things are happening but they are not enough to overcome the bad. It is not enough, by being so easy on Newark you are damning the city with low expectations. Expect and demand more from Newark and you may get it. Saying 77 murders is a positive is setting the bar pretty low. I don't know of many communities (other than Camden or Trenton) that would accept 77 murders, even if was a reduction from past numbers.

By the way Newark Is the 2nd fastest growing city in the Northeast, looks like more people are looking to get in then get out !!
