Do you have any data to support that a spike in illegal immigration has led to increased rents jersey city? How many illegal immigrants do we have in JC now vs. 10 or 20 years ago? Or are you just making shit up? Very very few illegals are living in new construction.

PS16 is the crown jewel of the JC PS system (note I didn't say charter school). Which isn't saying much. It just means the other options are way behind. Good thing it's still open. As a betting man, I'd say it has the potential to become the next PS321 / William Penn. Assuming the Ed. Board doesn't get in the way.

In the early 1990, Dr. Elena Scambio want to close some schools due to the projected school population decrease. That obviously did not happened due to the increase of population fueled by new construction and illegal immigration. Really, it is a combination of both being NYC's housing market and illegal immigration. In the downtown area, she wanted to close PS 16 and the old PS 3.

Yeah, the government has an awesome track record of returning savings directly to taxpayers' pockets.

Yup. The school savings, at $22K/year/kid, would be incredible.

While I'm all for getting rid of all illegals, I wonder how that will effect rents. Might urban areas like Paterson become targets for gentrification if there were fewer illegals and their associated businesses? Just a thought.

Yes, let's deport all the illegal immigrants to free up housing. And then watch you all complain about how you can't find babysitters/nannies, slow service at restaurants, no food deliveries, having to clean your own home and lettuce costing $6 a head at Shop Rite, among a myriad of other woes. Can you guys possibly be any more short sighted?

Tying this to DTJC...
Illegal's aren't jacking up rent in DTJC. It's near impossible to make a good living if you're here illegally. What's jacking up rent in DTJC is historic demand for NYC housing and it's associated knock on effect on DTJC. That confluencing with some "back to the city" housing demand and difficulty securing mortgages to buy. Deporting illegals will just empty out chunks of the JC ghetto's.

At the May 27, 2015 council meeting, Council-President Lavarro said Jersey City population is 40% immigrant. He said this supporting a resolution for driver's license for illegal immigrants. While you statement is not politically correct. Monroe, there would be no housing shortage if our government enforces its immigration laws.

Ship all the illegal aliens back to their legal domiciles and watch the housing market in Paterson open up. Problem solved. Support porous borders and open immigration and you're part of the problem.

Rent is out of control because taxes, water, sewerage, utilities are out of control. Affordable housing means transferring the cost of government on the small homeowner so another renter can have a break. It makes the homeowners' taxes higher. Someone must pay for that educational cost and affordable housing does not pay a cent. We need affordable government as part of the solution not affordable housing. Let's not forget, in 2013, 2,300 taxpayers went into lien in JC, where is their affordable housing?

Star-Ledger Editorial Board
Nearly one third of all families that rent in New Jersey give up at least half their income just to have a home, a new study found. Even in a crime-ridden neighborhood. Watch the Montgomery family in Paterson, featured in a video by the Make Room campaign that publicized the report, to get a sense of this absurdity. The young couple, a nursing assistant and college student and her husband, a National Guardsman who works at Bergen Community College, can barely keep a roof over their kids' heads ? for which they pay $1,350 a month, on a street where it's too dangerous to play in their own backyard. Because they can't afford a car, the father takes a three hour bus ride to work every day, for what should be a 10 minute drive. Apartments are particularly unaffordable in Paterson, but make no mistake: this is a statewide crisis, one exacerbated by Gov. Chris Christie. We used to be better than other states when it came to the affordability of rent. But now, in large part thanks to his sabotage of our affordable housing program, we're one of the worst, second only to Florida. Christie's position that towns should be able to choose whether they want to allow affordable housing has led a lot of them to block it from being built. This drives up the cost of housing and makes affordable apartments more scarce. His undermining of our state's entire affordable housing effort didn't help, either. He refused to come up with new regulations for building these homes, and left the courts to clean up the mess. Story
