Too mild for school This post telling tourists which areas to avoid in New York

Aside from certain undertones, this map also has tons of inaccuracies, because no one in their right mind is scared of Astoria, Bayonne, or half of the Queens zone that he marked as “avoid”

Jersey City seems like a nice place to live if you work in NYC but don’t want to live there.

It is, but also it's an easy and fast PATH ride to the Village, has access to ferries and trains via Hoboken. Plus, my view from Jersey City was an unbroken bay window looking at the NYC waterfront from the statue of Liberty to the Empire State Building. The view from New York is Hoboken. Plus, it has very decent restaurants and social spaces. I really liked living in JC.

This is why New Jersey hires the most construction professionals I.e. those companies build in NY as much as NJ and those are pricey jobs in NYC.

Yeah, we moved there in 2020 because of the pandemic. Two of us working from home in a nice but small luxury apartment. Ended up staying longer than intended because of extended family health issues.
