It's a terrible catch-22. You want crime/blight to go down but you can't do that without tax revenue(something the city desperately needs, plus who brings in tax revenue?)to help fund stuff like...

What about a pro sports arena and a nearby airport? Don't assume those factors aren't important to developers.

Or maybe Greenville is also less convienent unlike downtown. You develop the more conveinent area you drive out the ghetto leeches. Why do you think the Ironbound has less of an issue?

Condos? When/where did you hear about this?

Exactly. For those of us who've actually been downtown and its vicinity know what's up. Can somebody explain other than a couple of minor boutique shops along Halsey(which are further north) and the...

There are 2 full-sized Walmarts on Route 1 in Philly and also a couple not too far away from it. They haven't affected the businesses along or near the Blvd. The 2 Targets in Union didn't affect...

I meant for the public housing left IN Newark, that rule should be put in place to weed out the riff raff Newarkguy goes on about.

"Where will they go?" I heard Vineland's nice. Some mass transit and much more affordable than the Newark metro. Bottom line is the city cannot be a dumping ground for the poor. It needs a middle...

Nexis I moved in 2 months ago. I'm aware of Joe's Crab Shack coming in which is good(haven't heard of the place until I found out it was coming in). But with a hotel right above it and the lofts on...

Ya know it's pretty pathetic when the new Courtyard can't even bring in a 7 Eleven into its ground floor space.
And as for that link the bottom line is anything west of Broad needs to be bulldozed....

There are 2 Targets in Union and 2 Targets within possible walkking distance between Hackensack and Paramus. Putting a Walmart near Society Hill wouldn't be such a big deal; at least this one would...

Oh yeah it's been worked on for months now despite the lack of progress on the facade especially the rear. They are even hiring: http://www.hospitalityonline.com/employers/234218

The rendering of 101 Market(which is further away from the airport and its potential flight path) doesn't look like it's 1,000 feet. It's about 3 times high as Prudential's 2nd building down the...

More money+possible height restrictions+nearby airport=no mega skyscraper. Don't know why this is hard to understand. There are cities with higher pops. than Newark and their skylines are...

As the article reads "The buildings on the Newark historic registrar slated to come down include the Wm. V Snyder Dry Goods Store, which became a Valu Plus shop, S. Klein on the Square and...

Prudential gets approval for demolition on Broad Street in Newark Published: Thursday, August 09, 2012, 11:17 AM Updated: Thursday, August 09, 2012, 12:13 PM ...

When? Because I know people paid on board when the PCC cars were around, then at TVMs when the LRVs came out.

Don't know but they should add some at its downtown stations especially Penn. The surface extension can be left alone but the busiest ones between Washington St and Penn should have them. Not like...

Exactly. I dunno why this is so hard to comprehend. When you have Manhattan literally across the river it's no surprise that there would eventually be some sort of boom in JC(the east side anyway)....

DC's worse. And for a city under 300K the skyline isn't that short. Just not too impressive. Maybe it has height restrictions that isn't well known. It doesn't need a supertall that's for sure.

By this claim indoor shopping malls should not exist. If you walked across 21 you'd understand why a skywalk is needed. Add on the rain and snow and there ya go. Newport has them, Manhattan has them,...

If that was further down on Broad St towards Lincoln Park then yeah, that would be steep, but not when it's a block from the arena entrance above a major restaurant across from the Gateway and a...

All 3 are ghetto. Miami and Atlanta have bad areas; I don't get how people don't know this.

St Louis, Baltimore, Flint, Birmingham, Jackson MS, New Orleans, Atlanta, Miami, Oakland, Memphis can be added as ghetto cities too. ESL and Camden are much smaller so you can't compare those cities.

I know, but I'm saying that folks from the neighborhoods who complain about the attention downtown is getting aren't thinking long-term. It needs to be fixed because a nicer, "sterile" downtown will...
