It isn't anymore dangerous than the back of hoboken (1 or 2 blocks from the projects) or most of downtown JC. JSQ is worse in my opinion. The robberies by the lightrail are mostly gangs robbing mexican workers coming home from work , who are usually illegal and dont go to the cops for obvious reasons. If you are half of man with minimal street smarts you will be fine. Make sure you have a car to get around.

I am not going on another tangent. It is all connected. You are obviously trying to make a point for the war by giving medical stats of how insignificant a few hundred thousand human lives are and giving points of why rational people in 02 would have gone to war. My point is that along with your numerous bullet points of reasons, the main reason our president sold congress on going to war was the non existent link between al queda and iraq. As well as, scaring everyone into believing al queda would have gotten their hands on WMD from Saddam. You are omitting the main factor we went to war (a lie) and saying it has nothing to do with the conversation. Policing the world and nation building has proven to be bad foreign policy in the past. Given the truth the american people and congress IMO would have weighed the decision differently , even if we were provoked by the reasons you listed.

So today as I do my usual zombie morning walk to the path station, I notice the usual course of events . Union workers drinking dunkin doughnuts coffe under a giant inflatble rat with bright pink mammary glands, as well as, many other regular people walking along newark ave, undoubtbly thinking about what we all think about during a normal morning routine . " am I going to be late to work ?" , "Do I have enought time to pick up a bagel?", " I have to drop off my dry cleaning tonight "...... etc .......etc......... One thing out of the norm catches my eye, A homeless guy asking for a cigarette. Normally that is a very common occurrence , but this guy was just a little special. I am not so sure if he was totally homeless or just on the verge of being homeless, probably living in someones basement somewhere , due to the obvious heroin addiction that afflicts the man. Either way , what was purely evident was his dope fiend lean and almost dancing with the stars like stroll down the street. In the time it took me to walk one very short block behind this guy he asks 6 differrent people for a ciggarette. In between each attempt the man does a spin and a slump almost complete hunching over barely touching the ground completely defying all laws of gravity and physics. By the the sixth rejection the man bellows out , almost like a wolf howling on a mountain top arching his back and yelling in the air , "GOD DAM TIMES ARE GETTING TOUGH, I WOULD OF HAD A GOD DAM CIGGARETTE BY NOW!!!" . He continued to mumble under his breath " somebody better do something about this shhht".......... So its official the recession is here and I just wanted to let everyone know its confirmed by the bum with the dope fiend lean...............

Rutherford is probably better for you . You will have culture shock in JC . I am not so sure the JC public school system is where you want to send your child , but I am probably going to start a fight on this site for saying that.
( Academic highschool excluded ) JC is great for a professional who wants to be close to the city and have a half hour commute.

Re: What kind of neighborhood is the Heights in Jersey City?

The hieghts is what it is ......plain and simple. I have lived in the height almost my whole life , until i recently moved. The western slope is getting worse and the congress st light rail area is getting a hundred times better than what it was . Gangs prey on mexican workers getting off there late night shifts from hoboken restaurants . It is a fact that needs to be addressed. the value of the homes go up in direct correlation to the value of homes in hoboken which in turn are directly affected by the value of the homes in the city. Rents are cheap because the sheep like slum lords wont fix there properties and just want to keep there properties rented instead of investing in fixing them up and asking more from the "poorer" yuppies who are willing to pay for new apts....
what type of neighborhood is it ??????? the same neighborhood it has been for the past 40 years a working class neighborhood....... your relationships with your neighbors are what make all the difference.

Trading around a long term position ( up or down) is just a way to protect your money in a company you like when you have done research. I dont see anything akin to gambling in my opinion. when the odds are in your favor it is just an educated guess.
Is poker really gambling if you know the odds over the long term? its a game of skill so is trading professionally or personally. What gets people into trouble is there money management skills in regards to trading. Thats the real problem for all the degenerates out there.

Thats why I said the rent roll should cover the monthly nut, so if you have to rent it out for whatever reason, you can still have someone pay your mortgage ( principle too) for you. At least for a couple of years until the market turns again. It will always be worth more in the long run. I dont know in my mind it doesnt seem as risky, you just might be stuck in it a little longer than you would like. It seems more like a savings account in that scenario. What I would try to do is save another 10 K to buy another place to cost average down my initial terrible investment choice.
but if youu need the money then your S.O.L. so you have a point. and stocks definitely have a higher return. I just dont want to waste my time trading stocks, until I have a serious bankroll to make some coin. Even If I am diversified in a brokerage account , I am not going to borrow money to buy a pieces of paper . Although, I would borrow money to buy a house. Thats JMO , but I look at pictures all day long at work , I am not a financial guy at all, so dont listen to me.

Although I acknowledge the fact stocks historically do better than real estate over the long term, for the average struggling middle class person like myself , real estate is still the better investment. ( only with 30 yr fixed mortgages around 7 %) This why is think so 1. you are making money on borrowed money. Although you are paying interest on the borrowed money, if it is your primary residence , you are not spending money on rent and gettiing a tax shelter in the interim. 2. If it is an investment property and if ( and only if ) the rent roll covers or comes close to covering all of your expenses, you are collecting the equity growth and paying down your mortgage at the same time. (different tax laws that you have to navigate through tho) lets say you have 10 K to use as a down payment on a 100K property ( i know they dont exist I am just making it easy ) or 10 K to buy stocks . If you make 10% on 100K property thats = 10,000 dollars . If you take that same 10 K and make 20 % in stock investments, over the same period of time as buying and selling the house, you have only made 2,000 dollars on the 10 K. The only variable is if you do a little homework, anyone can beat the S&P or most mutual funds. It all depends how much work you want to put into investing.
