1) I wasn't being critical. More a shrugging of the virtual shoulders. NYT has done several similar pieces in the past few years.

2) I do expect investigative pieces about metro area real estate. I don't know if the NYT puts them into its RE section tho'. ;)

What? You expect hard hitting journalism in the RE section? It's just fun to see "The Hunt" land in Hudson County again. We had a lot of them a couple of years ago, it seemed like some local agent really had their ear. We actually met one of the people profiled who moved to HC. Then there was a long dry spell.

People are affected by what they read, and this is one way buzz is created. I heard JC buzz in the arts community 18.5 years ago when I started looking here. And buzz in the NYT demographic is especially valuable.

Seems like a pretty typical NYT RE fluff piece.

so JC is the new Bklyn then.

Must be if printed in the NY Times.

Couple from BK relocates to doity joisey.

"One day, the couple visited a friend who had moved to Jersey City. Charmed by the downtown, they realized it was the neighborhood they had been seeking all along."

?"What?s funny is Jersey City is less of a commute to Manhattan than Brooklyn is,? she said."
