Part of the discussion I’ve been having with community members is about Newark. Yes, Newark has problems. But have you looked at the prices on Zillow recently? If I sold my property in NJ for what Zillow thinks it is worth, I couldn’t afford the houses in Newark. The big companies have been buying up the city and the prices are amazing. I wonder why the big property holding companies have such a different view than the anxious middle class white folks? And I wonder if those anxious white folks understand what they lost when they were blockbusted out of Newark, Jersey City, Hoboken, etc.
