By the way how does he know he was shot outside of Montgomery Gardens. Is he trying to say just because he walked passed the projects he was shot there. Whats to say he didn't get shot in a nice section of Jertsey City, is he trying to say they don't have crime in the " yuppie " section. Where was he coming from, I find it difficult to belive that he was just passing by that was a short cut to his house, taking the train to journal square from downtown would just be taking him out of his way.

Now that the silly posts with the over-the-top racism satire are gone, the cold hard reality of what this is really about is sort of painful.

Key learning: you don't have to be a foreigner to be rude. Or ignorant. Or a dope.

I saw someone bring something up about race. Please do not go there. In fact, every black person I asked, including a woman whose father lives across the street from where I was considering, told me I was crazy. However, they are from Jersey City and I am as well, so I wanted an "outsider's" opinion as I thought it would be less biased. I grew up in downtown and although I have always loved it, I cannot afford it for starters, but I wanted more space and this place had it and at a price within my budget. I knew it would be a tradeoff, but my safety is ultimately worth more. Thanks again.

Seems odd that whole area of JC doesnt have any real supermarkets. Where is the nearest Shoprite/ Stop & Shop, etc.

One time i found a ticket placed on my car that was for a similar model car, but clearly the wrong color. Some idiot probably hoped I wouldn't notice it and would pay their fine for them. Nice try. lol I looked HARD at that ticket, cuz I KNEW my car was legally parked.

It's ridiculous to call Trenton the next Hoboken ... but give Trenton a break. It is not one big ghetto. I lived there for 2 years in the Chambersburg section 1995-97 when I worked at the Statehouse, and I loved it. Trenton has a thriving jazz scene (Try Joe's Mill Hill Saloon) and some of the best Italian restaurants/eateries, among others, in the Northeast. Little by little, Trenton, which got its arse kicked during the riots/white flight of the 60's, is coming back to life. In fact my good friend is very bullish on Trenton. A few years ago he purchased a rundown 3-story row house and garage near the renovated Broad Street Bank building. After months of rehab, he turned the property around. The garage now houses his recording studio which doubles as a sort-of social club where Trentonians of all stripes get together to hear or play music - and party.

If I worked in Princeton during the day I could never bring myself to go back Trenton.

One thing we're missing here is data about what's really going on with the Montgomery Gardens residents, the residents of the scarier looking projects, the residents of the low-rise subsidized housing developments, and people in Section 8 housing.

...

But, if we don't have actual data showing what percentage of the kids go to college, what percentage stay off welfare, etc., all any of us can do is guess.

Isn't Hal Turner supposedly someone who's actually on JCList?

If some: I strongly disagree with his views, but I think it would be cool to be polite to/about him, especially when he's discussing some topic unrelated to ethnicity.

We all have our quirks, and, even if he's wrong about demographic stuff, maybe he has reasonable views about grocery stores or restaurants or something like that.
