Newark is improving, but Jersey City is a real success story.
It could not agree anymore. In the 1980’s, Jersey City would have a ‘What happened to Jersey City’ video. Thanks to good governance by the municipality and citizenry, Jersey City is a true success story.
It is, but its still a tale of two cities. Get away from the path and the city still suffers from huge crime issues and urban blight.
@@timothymoroney9100 I grew up in Jersey (not in Jersey City) in the 60s and 70s and remember my parents and I visiting a friend's mother on a number of occasions. JC reminded me of the South Bronx at the time. Now, I'm going to move back to Jersey when I retire and JC is at the top of my list.
No. Jersey city is still. Not there. Not we’re we are
@@mrcakeaholicsounds dire. ya alright buddy?
The Portuguese restaurants in the Ironbound district are amazing.
Absolutely amazing
Agreed. Iberia is incredible.
Ty my grandfather was the pioneer in the restaurant buisness
@@josemendes375 what restaurant

Providence has a similar story; peaked in population in the 1940s and only just started to rebound in the last few decades. Lots of people don't realize how many cities have yet to regain the population they had before the great depression.
Been to both... Providence is much better and safer city than Newark... The only thing Newark has against Providence is proximity to NYC, the most important city in the country, but to me and some others that's a another con I don't like being to close to huge cities... Even tho Providence is close to Boston, it's its own metro, Newark is an extension of NYC
@@Ozama1221 you even have direct buses to New Bedford and cape cod
Your Right ✅ 👌.
@@malachaicarter4338 That’s litteraly probably the best reasoning. Would you like to live in a deprived rural city with an incredibley high crime rate and declining population? Hell no
Audible also is based in Newark. Two of the top state universities are in Newark (NJIT and Rutgers). The city went through a tremendous growth spike this census, though it's not close to its pre-1940s level.
Car theft capital of America
Newark has one of the best school like science park high school.Essex County College is trash and a joke,the worst security guards ever,worst lunchroom and also my college has no lockers wtf😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣.My school looks like the apocalypse.
RU-N and NJIT are Newark’s only hope for bringing new developments, but unfortunately, even they carry very little weight.
The spaceship from the Twilight zone episode To Serve Man landed in Newark, I believe. Also you should have mentioned NJIT which has recently undergone major improvements.
Your videos are so fantastic. They're never "long" but always effectively compact with easily digested info and practical knowledge. You do such a great job, don't stop. In a work of tiktok horseshit, this is such a nice change
Lmao @ “TikTok horseshit” - agreed though
My grandfather actually died from Cancer at the age of 45 from working at one of the leather factories may he RIP 🙏 🕊 Thank you for speaking truth in your videos ❤
Newark is a good alternative when flying to NYC, cheaper flights and hotel rates. Within 10 mins you can get to Manhattan Penn Station from downtown Newark Train department.
Newark Penn Station is a nightmare. Huge homeless population. NY Penn is comparable.
EWR is the easiest airport to fly into for the New York area (which isn’t saying much). That is unless your trip takes you out to eastern Long Island. Then, fly into MacArthur Airport with JFK as the second choice (due to access to the Long Island Railroad).
Yeah just at the small cost of getting stabbed by a dirty needle from one of the numerous bums
@@cosmo5164 nightmare? You don't know what is a nightmare. Go to any train station in downtown São Paulo and THEN you gonna realize something.
@@Rafao-qp2kb no thanks, Brazil sucks
It ain't "New-Werk" it's pronounce Nork. We can tell you not from jerz by the way you pronounce it
Or “New-Ark” but let’s face it nobody pronounce Newark like that
Newark should get an NBA team
We had nj nets they took it away lmao jus nj devils are alive
It had one. And no one went to the games…
@@Eldeibi84 because we knew the team was already set for Brooklyn @ the time
I'm born and raised in New Jersey. Newark actually has some nice assets, such as the Brazilian/Portuguese communities around Ferry Street. The city over all has a long way to go though.
If possible, I always drive around Newark and not through it. There is nothing pleasant about this place.
I currently live in Newark. I never thought in a million years I'd call this place home. It has had a negative reputation ever since I can remember and now this place is very livable. Its going the same route as Jersey City and not long, you'll be paying just as much for your rent.
Its a total shit hole !
Dangerous and expensive, ppl move there only cuz NYC is even more expensive
Some may disagree with my contention here, but Newark is much revitalized in comparison to 25-30 years ago alone, and much can be attributed to U.S. Senator Cory Booker when he'd served as the mayor of Newark. Booker is quite visionary, and although Newark is far from safe or perfect, it's come a long way in recent years.
word, this popped up on my youtube and i thought, wtf they thinking about lol. its on the uprise. its the 21st century, not post ww2. every industrial city had to revitalize - between the art, investments, and modelship in leadership, its very on the up. its like harlem in the 20s if youre in the right places.
@@TheWMBWLife ,I agree
You forgot to mention the NHL's New Jersey Devils building a state of the art arena there in 2007 which has resulted in quite a few new bars and restaurants moving in.
Prudential built/owns the arena, the Devils just play there. That arena hosts a LOT more events then just hockey games
@@kervinceus5841 Your wrong. The Devils built the building and sold the naming rights to Prudential
@@johnsamoilis6379actually I think you’re both wrong, the arena is privately owned
Prudential is headquartered in Newark though.
I grew up around Philly over in PA. Newark is nicer than Camden NJ. Redman "Brick City"
I think Camden is trying to do the same thing as Jersey City and their waterfront, just with less success. They do have the industry with Campbell's and Subaru as well as Rutgers-Camden.
Don't forget is the hometown of one of the greatest:Marvelous Marvin Hagler.
I went to law school in Newark, (both Seton Hall and Rutgers have their law schools there) and many people that I have known lived and worked in Newark, so I know the city from way back.
I realize this was a summary of hundreds of years of history, and that you can't get everything into a few short minutes, (and I never knew about the leather industry) but I was surprised there was no mention of the brewing industry, and that the Passaic River waters were a major reason many of the big companys, like Busch, set up shop there.
But you did state pretty well that the city is greatly on the rebound, so for that I thank you.
Newark's water actually comes from reservoirs in the northwestern part of the state. I can look out my window and see parts of the many acres of Newark property. The Passaic River has been unsafe for drinking for over 100 years now...
@@mrmoose6619 true, now, and since the early 20th Century, but not when the brew barons set up shop. I found this out when I went to the Newark Museum, which was/is practically next door to the Rutgers Law School. And thanks to federal regulations, many of the rivers in NJ have made a big comeback in terms of the waterfowl and fish.
@@marieroberts5458 the rivers are recovering but unfortunately the bays and other salt water fisheries are getting frigging thrashed by commercial boats.
@@JustIn-op6oy I'm sorry to hear that, it seems we take one step forward, and go two steps back...
Newark was the TRUE beer city at one point. Probably the biggest in the US at that time.
Ok, the video is decent.
I’m born and raised in the city in what could be called it’s worst years.
80’s and 90’s and I enjoyed it then.Those are my hay days.
Never cared much about white ppl perspectives on places that are for the most part not white as Newark and pretty much every surrounding city is today.
But the video was accurate and fare.
Not written from the perspective of someone who would be terrified of walking the city’s streets.
*heydays....or if you were a farm animal in those days then I apologize.
@@email5023 oh my bad, offended a white person with a basic truth.
You should come to Newark and show me how to spell ……no balls I’m sure.
Understand this about Newark. White people are gainfully employed there and contribute to the tax base that Newark desperately needs to survive as a thriving metropolis. But they do not live there, but in sheltered suburban communities outside of Newark. Understand this also, Black people live there in droves, but are woefully unemployed there and cannot adequately contribute to Newark's tax base. Therefore they have little or no ownership of their city. They have been viciously red-lined by the banks and forced to live on public programs such as welfare to survive. That is Newark in a nutshell, and I do mean nuts! Did not our greatest President Abraham Lincoln admonish us that a house divided cannot stand?
How can any place that has a statue built for a career criminal ever bounce back?
Excellent video. I think you did a sympathetic and balanced portrayal of Newark's history.
Do a video on Paterson, NJ it was the first planned industrial city. It has even more influential history and relative to its impact, it is more forgotten than any other city in America.
True that
I worked at st Joseph in Paterson nj for awhile
Doesn't Paterson, NJ have a waterfall within the city?
There are areas in Paterson that look like bombed middle eastern towns
Crappy Paterson falling apart
wow...., Newark was my first work city until today after I migrated to the USA 6 years ago, every day I fall in love more and more with this city. Thanks for the video as it gives narration to my emotions for this city. Love y'all.
Newark has the best food in the country outside of NYC
Idk New Orleans, Boston, Chicago, Nashville? Some pretty dope food scenes
You are high
…No
What happend to Newark? Same thing that happens to most democrat cities. Bloated pensions, excessively high taxes for no returns, corrupt politicians and multiple corrupt police scandals, and a citizenry who doesn't care. It's a warning to every other city and state in the country what can happen when you let big government take over your city and run it into the ground.
An interesting video. I often confuse Newark with Jersey City. Maybe since both are large New Jersey cities in close proximity to New York City as well as each other.
Jersey city has totally changed. Night and day
@@mashintotters858 I worked at Harborside in Jersey City from 1992 to 2007. Not a nice place to be.
Downtown areas of both are unrecognizable if you're visiting for the first time after 10 years. Complete modernization, revitalization and gentrification. Both have brought industry and night life back to urban centers. The main problem is they pushed the poverty and food deserts to the surrounding areas. Newark's South and West wards and same really for Jersey City. They have made a nice, expensive area for commuters and higher income residents while pushing poverty to the outskirts. Really a temporary solution.
@@frdjr2527 Jersey City is very different these days. Lots of professionals live there, call it gentrification if you will, but there's a lot of change now.
@@Cindy99765 The condition of the streets is still crap.
I'm glad that you spoke about the negative impact of freeway construction in Newark. Many current and former residents of Newark and the adjacent cities of Orange and East Orange, NJ cite the construction of I-280 as a larger factor in Newark and the surrounding areas decline more so than the riots. Hopefully like in other cities there will be a freeway capping project for 280 that can help connect these neighborhoods once again and begin their revalorization.
280 is the least of what caused Newark to decline, in fact, the most ghetto parts of Newark are not even near a highway Deindustrialization started the decline like most urban areas, then the automobile in general, as people could move to the suburbs, and finally the riots which arguably was the fatal blow, as newark became known as a dangerous ghetto.
As I live in eo I was going to say how horribly wrong you are, but the other guy did it
It's fairly easy to tell you don't spend a lot of time here Pat lol.
You guys have some great graffiti walls out there East Coast Graffiti is legendary I like the street art 🎨 scene shout out from New Orleans Louisiana 😀👍
I280 is a crucial link that connects the Turnpike, NJ 21, GSP, and I80. No way in hell it will be capped. Especially after they just completely rebuilt the I280/ NJ 21 interchange.
Newark is back. It's now a very good place to be. I don't live there, but I visit when I can, and I enjoy riding my bike through the city.
It also has excellent public transit, with a city subway, an extensive bus network, the PATH train connecting to Jersey City, Hoboken, and New York, and also NJ Transit trains for going throughout the state (and to New York directly and to Philadelphia by means of a transfer to SEPTA at Trenton).
Also, a major company that has made Newark its headquarters is Audible.
I love people spending 3500 in Brooklyn and spending an hour to mid town 2k door man building 2br and 30 min to central park on a bad day
Wouldn't say it's back but def gotten much better since they put the Prudential Center there
Audible, prudential , blue cross, Mars, DHL ,Panasonic and others. Will never be pre-riot good but I hang my hat here and am crossing my fingers property values keep going up!
Definitely not back but has industry, education (NJIT, ECCC, Rutgers), and public transportation. The tools are there.
Very few cities have an infrastructure like Newark. Unlike jersey city there are 15 roads in and out . As you said rutgers , njit ,umdnj, Seton hall law etc
Don’t even have to watch the video.
Democratic progressive policies
Done
I lived there
Newark is being rebuilt and lowkey in the process of gentrification both Shaquille O'Neil & Latifah are building more properties in Newark NJ the Shaq tower which is an upscale Apartment complex is currently in development downtown Newark which will house thousands
There's a development project going on " which will be known as CitiSquare Newark, will ultimately consist of 11 buildings, 4,200 residential units, 100,000 square feet of commercial, office and hospitality space, and up to 3,000 parking spaces" in place of the old Bear Stadium close to Route 21 and the Waterfront.
Yea it's ridiculous that it will be mostly rentals. No one with money is going to want to rent there. There are hundreds of vacant units already around downtown
So that's why the got rid of Bear stadium. I miss it tbh. I never got to visit and see a game.
@@MD62383 IDK. City seems to grow wealthier and more affluent by the day. Hopefully soon it becomes too expensive for the undesirables.
I came here to crap 💩 on this video because I’m so used to people talking down on my hometown. But you did a really good job that’s pretty balanced and accurate. The city is definitely turning around and gentrifying.. I’m all for the gentrification btw. The city needs it. The city is making a big step in the right direction. Thanks for the great video.
Gentrification is nice for the overall look of the city however it displaces the residents and that’s the major downfall
The residents of the city is the problem
@@KP-ki8ws it’s not displacing. The people coming in are moving into the new developments, not the places where people were living already. So not sure how they are being displaced. They are moving into places where it used to be empty
@@rotcrust I agree with this statement.
@@_1Brick1_ housing prices start to go up because of gentrification. Not arguing with you but just backing up the statement someone made about people being misplaced. It has its pros and cons, but I feel like Newark needs to take necessary steps to help its long time citizens with the areas they’re struggling in and giving them the tools they need to grow as a community (which I think Ras Baraka is trying to do) while also remodeling the city and inviting new people
Uh....The BurnLootMurder Crew took over...duh.
Living minutes away from Newark & attending Rutgers Newark, I must say, it’s a beautiful city. Misunderstood at times yes, but the culture makes up for it.
I think you might need eye glasses.
@@paulsawczyc5019 perhaps you do
This is spot on
Da basketball culture? Oh lawd!!!!
@@WakandaleezaRazz When did he say anything about Basketball culture?
Newark downtown and ironbound is nice. Just don’t go down South Orange Avenue at night, it’s not a pretty sight. 😂
NBA has expansion team in Newark, NJ!🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
The riots happened.
Yes.
I heard they happened in the late '60's and that's when things really started going down hill there.
The 1970's and after things went from bad to worse.
Newark is a better city than Jersey City. Definitely better food and more vibrant. Not as new and cleaned up as JC tho
I’m sorry lived there when I was a young kid and visited there about 2 years ago. Shit looked the same but maybe less druggies but overall SHIT SUCKSSS
It is dangerous.
A lot of crime there.
Take my word.
WHAT Happened?
DEMOCRATS /CORY BOOKER
People that are not familiar with Newark don’t realize that there are parts of Newark that are not safe and then there are parts where you can live and be safe, unfortunately the bad parts get all the pub, making outsiders think the whole city is bad. For instance the Forrest Hills section that borders Bloomfield and Belleville are beautiful with really no crime- tree lined streets with manicured lawns and houses selling between 500- 1mill. Actually there are mini mansions in this area also. The other two areas that are pretty safe to live would be parts of the Weequahic section that Border Hillside and some parts of the Ironbound section that are very livable also! Just like cities like Brooklyn and Queens - there are good parts and bad parts but unfortunately Newark only gets noted for the bad.
Livable, maybe, but if you reside in those areas, you can’t venture too far out of them, plus you have to deal with all the knuckleheads from other areas of the city when you go out and shop. Also, you don’t want your kids to go to school there because they will have to be with all the other kids from different, not-so-nice areas.
@@geraldobrien7323 its the same as any other major city. I grew up there in the 70’s and 80’s and even back then there were good parts and bad parts and you knew where not to go and where you could go, just like living in parts of Brooklyn, Queens , Manhattan etc.., and as far as schools go you have a ton of options to chose from with all the Charter schools and magnet schools like - Science High school, Arts high school and even St. Benedicts prep, and St. Vincents Academy which are all very good schools.
@@reefb4364Weequakic is a shithole.Hard to believevit was the Jewish area of Newark.I hate to say it Newark is a shithile.Blacks destroy beighborhoods.
@@geraldobrien7323very well said and true!
Surprised you didn’t mention the Devils or just the Prudential Center, that place alone creates lots of jobs for the city
Lol 😂
They suck a lot of money out of Newark. People come from Bergen and Morris Counties, spend money that goes to California and does not stick here but also brings prostitution, drugs and sex trafficking to Mulberry St every time the Devils have a game
The Rock is the major reason for Newark being on the up. I remember going there in 08 for the first time vs now and it's WAY better now the city
@@mr.devil9577 the rock is a great place, it’s just unfortunate that the Devils are historically bad these days
Newark is almost as close to being a lawless city as you can get. I work there, I coach there and I lived there most of my life. The people need to change, the city can be great if we the people stop destroying everything and respected each other.
I agree .. regentify it . Let people who want something rebuild it .. the elders that loved it and took care of it have passed on ... I brought a house here and my area is nice . But I want to rebuild the whole city again get rid of the leaches ..affordable homes for people who appreciate it
what happened to most cities- the working decent people left and the riff raff moved in
I think Newark is a dually getting a lot better with more business and lots of great food spots
What happened to Newark was accurately explained in The Sopranos.
Newark is still ALIVE ! trust and believe and actually improving ! ☺️
Very minor correction the Newark Bears were an indy league team they were not an MLB-affiliated minor league team.
Interesting vid. I lived there when I was young (90s), and my first two jobs were in Newark (2010s). Spent a lot of time there. The city also was big in jewelry manufacturing around the turn of the century.
The Ironbound neighborhood is a true gem and seriously worth going out of your way for. It's predominantly Brazilian, and there's restaurants where the wait staff don't speak English so have a translator ready (or if you speak Spanish they can usually understand you half decently and you should be able to understand most of what they say---it worked for me at least) A real enclave. It was saved from destruction during the riots since there's only a few ways into the neighborhood-as the name suggests, it's bound by railways on three sides and a river on the fourth. Safe day and night.
FYI: Minor League Baseball refers to professional baseball below Major League Baseball, including teams affiliated with MLB clubs and independent baseball leagues consisting of teams with no affiliation.
i absolutely love the ironbound neighborhood, it really is a gem
There were men with rifles in the church towers of Ironbound during the riots - the church at the Ferry/Wilson split was one of them.
Up until 1949 the Yankees had a AA team in Newark…. The Newark Bears
Ironbound may be safe during the day but it's definitely not safe at night.
Sorry to say this, but the blacks migration to the city and resulting white flight destroyed the city. Now working class Hispanics and other immigrants are moving in which is good over all but I’m afraid the section 8 areas will never get better.
I had to go to the Newark Hall of records recently and in my short drive through the city I saw very little to be positive about. I remember what the city like before the 1967 riots and it's barely a shadow of what it used to be.
Newark, the armpit of N.J. is best scene in your rear view mirror driving south. Cody Booker, the garbageman from Newark helped run it into the ground. Now he is a fake senator running the country into the ground
Because of the SAVAGES 👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹
I wonder why.....
No you are wrong
Newark is a great place where great people come from do your history on famous people from Newark
Newark needs to work on their streets , non synced traffic lights, schools w no parking and abandoned buildings. The mayor talks a lot but doesn’t seem to do much.
I love 💞 Newark NJ born and raised in Newark Newark is just a city it's the People's that is violent 😔😔😔
I still won't live in Newark. Crime still out of control....
yup
When you get a chance look up “ Forest Hills section of Newark “ you will be quite surprised at what you see!, Tree lined streets with homes worth 500- 1 mill. This part of Newark gets no publicity because its the total opposite of the bad parts of Newark. It reminds me of parts of Queens - mostly Jamaica estates!
@@reefb4364 oh 100%, I’m from Elizabeth which is why I agreed with that dude above.
You are 100% correct.
It's a very risky place.
Everytime you turn around you hear someone getting, jumped, robbed, or killed.
@@michaelconsuegra7316 My guy where are you from? Because y’all probably have a same issue.
I don't mind moving to Newark. It's close to NYC and you kinda get the best of both worlds. And the train gets you into NYC in less than 20mins.
You should try Jersey City
High ass rent like Jersey city.
Newark is emerging as an Arts and entertainment center. Prime real estate investments, the draw of major anchor institutions, its proximity to New York, a decrease in crime, and the building of luxury housing more spacious and affordable than Jersey City and New York will revitalize the city.
Exactly..it's inevitable.. beautiful parks ..close to New York and Jersey City..great high schools and Rutgers Newark..nice museums..it's one of few cities you can walk everywhere..public transportation gets you to New York in less than 30 minutes.
Well done and a very fair, balanced and accurate summation! I have lived in Newark for the past 3 years and have lived close to Newark most of my 52 years of life and have seen vast improvements in the city.
Vast improvements in crime. Especially carjacking and killings
Lol people can't even walk down the street
I was born here and brought a house to try and keep My city alive .. I'm with regentification.. since our own people don't appreciate it the elders that loved and worked hard have passed on .. we have to try something different to save it . And affordable housing is only good for working class citizens not people that want to take advantage and not help . Let's bring our city back
@@JB-mm5ff I'm there everyday 😂.
This is an excellent video! I have always seen Newark as an enigma- but, I think it is stained forever by the riots.
Having stayed in NJ for > 10 years, I would never ever live in Newark.
When I was very young Newark was still a fine place to shop. And it was special to go there. By the later 60's it was very plain to see it was changing and then the riots came. Still my husband worked for AT&T, NJ Bell in the headquarters there in the 70's and that area had not yet gotten too bad.
My city is extremely busy and powerful I love it here 😻❤️
Democrats is what happened.
Same thing that happened to all the bigger cities that are destroying themselves…they voted democrat
"What Happened to Newark New Jersey?"
Democrats.
I live in Newark, and I have hope this place will really improve
Me too I was born and raised in Newark like any big city there is good and bad .. I grew up in north Newark with the Italian. Branch brook pk .. dickie dees . DairyQueen .stayed on the weekends in the south side weeqwiegh can't spell it but u know watch faith Evans grow up it was nice there .downtown with bambergers..Woolworth.. it was beautiful.. the people don't appreciate this city I'm also with the gentrification.. this city has soon much potential.. I brought a house here I could of moved anywhere but want to help my city.. Mr Mayor I hope you read this and help turn this city back to before 1967 ..we need foot patrols..garbage cans on all corners Jewish home owners accountability cuz they just rent it and don't care .. have all tenants responsible for keeping there front yards clean .. let's bring this city back
@@anitacollins6963 I live in North Newark 🙂
I work at the Benjamin Moore plant in Newark and proud to say we’re coming up on 100 years here
I lived here my whole life (42 year's) and never knew there was a BM plant.
I went to Seton Hall University in the neighboring South Orange, and we were always told to not make a right out of the main entrance, since Newark was a couple blocks away. I can't say I'd like to walk amongst the streets of Newark still, but I have definitely seen an improvement to the city and surrounding area. The Prudential Center, where our men's basketball team and the New Jersey Devils play, and the area around it has become a nice little place to get something to eat and walk around a bit. But Newark still has the worst airport ever, that still hasn't changed.
oh, Please! Newark Liberty sucks as an airport, but it’s not EVEN THE WORST IN NEW YORK! I’d safely rank it over the ABSOLUTE WORST AIRPORT IN NORTH AMERICA-La Guardia! Honestly, it’s marginally better in some ways than even JFK (easier to get around the terminals and less traffic Armageddon to get there)…Definitely better than Philly’s airport, too…
@@edvaira6891 lol I’ve flown out of both Philly and Newark many times and I always prefer the Philly airport. But everyone has different experiences so we’re going to have differing opinions.
Eh that's all cosmetics it's still a piece of shit city c'mon now lol
Yea. NJ resident here. Newark sometimes has cheaper flights, but I will pay a little more to fly out of Philly. Always.
That is the problem. People have the fear of God put into them and are scared to come to Newark. As the example you gave, I love when Seton hall students go to Seton hall law and kick themselves for missing out on the ironbound ,McGoverns , Kilkenny, halsey st etc. Granted sooo many bad areas but not nearly as much as 20 yrs ago. Go downtown stop by njs largest museum have insane seafood and a good pint of guiness. The downtown bars are filled with Dr's and lawyers . The PAC is amazing.
Horrible Horrible experience living there in 2010s
After watching this, I'd love to see a video on "What Happened to Niagara Falls, New York?"
Same thing that happens to all democrat ran cities. Bloated pensions, corrupt politicians and police, white flight, government being the parent’s and there ya go!
@@heyitsme1534
What about the "democrat run" City of New York???
In Niagara County, 44.2% of people voted Democrat in the last presidential election (compared to 53.8% Republican). Meanwhile, sixty-eight percent (68%) of registered voters in New York City are Democrats.
Thus, NYC is more Democrat than Niagara Co. Yet, NYC has the highest GDP of any city in the U.S. (at approx $1.4 trillion in 2020).
Can you explain how the Democrats have not ruined the economy of NYC?
Newark is a sad place.
This is the same story of Camden N.J.we moved out in 1969 ,1979 houses were boarded up 1989 houses were bulldozed, now 2022 just weeded lots!!!!!!
The Many Saints of Newark.
I currently work and live in Newark. It's seeing a bunch of shovels in the ground for investment in new downtown residential and commercial space, including what will be the city's newest tallest building and a massive complex on the former minor league stadium site.
Give it 5-15 years and it'll be the significantly different for the better.
I just watched my Devils, who play in Newark, get two short handed goals scored on them, while watching this video about Newark....😭👿🤬
That’s rough…The NJ Devils struggles that is.
And the city is going in a new direction. Lots of developments are happening downtown and the night life is slowly coming back

reclassification we don't want to live where you live at no more so we got the money we'll come back and move everybody else out and then we'll take what we want it's always been that way but they forgot one thing God got the last say and if he say that this is not how I was supposed to be and everything that is done is of no good it's all going to turn out to be ruined just like that along the Great Babylon fail they're doing the same things that they were doing in Babylon King 👑 nechannessa the Lord God does not care about color he don't discriminate if it does not line up what he has in the ten commandments Jesus Christ is the son of God and their only be one the Messiah and things are now it's a shift going on they refuse to change the powers that be come back with the same thing they did from the very beginning Jesus is going to fix it and he's the only one that can and it's going to be done right because he created the Earth and no one else and everyone that turn when he asked them to come back to him century upon century they all left and never went back to Jesus the way they supposed to and repentance it's over when it hit the Lord has always provided for his own and just as sure and solomona more they're living it again I'm staying with Jesus eyes have not seen or ears have not heard but the Lord God he triumphs and he don't care about color greet you gentile nothing he is the king of king and the Lord of lords and he said that this is my son who I am well please Jesus Christ he has no other son and the ones that say he put them first they left him long ago they left the Lord long ago because they want it gold and all the things of the world and they got it I read in the Bible about certain things people say that they are but the Lord said that they're not who they say they are so who are you going to believe I'm going to believe what the Lord says he is the true deed owner of this Earth and there's no one else it's going to come to be so bad that they going to throw gold in the street cuz it ain't going to mount up to nothing money gold and all that is going to absolutely come to nothing God is not a liar and neither is Jesus there's not a lie in him never has been from the day he died on Calvary he is the messiah and the only one that was risen from the dead Jesus Christ is the way and he has the key to everlasting life if you can make it through this life the next the second death is what you better be prepared for because that says whether you go to hell or you go to the pearly Gates which Jehovah God has made for his people everlasting life is what's up shoes everlasting life or do you want what of this world which we know is getting ready to be over in a New York minute everything I read when I was 8 years old in the Bible where it has happened it is happening I read it when I was eight and it's happening it is not a lie it's the truth and the ones that say that that is people and that people in the 70s don't tell it to us go tell it to almighty God because guess what he is not going to change his word he said there will be none without excuse p gentile Greek or Jew the heavenly father said there will be none without excuse lovers of money lovers of pleasure lovers of themselves let them have it it's going to fall like the walls of Jericho God said it's going to happen he's not going back on his word because he's not a liar he's going forward everybody's worrying about gold and money and all that that's nonsense it's not going to do any good you going to throw it in the street because it's going to come up to nothing it means absolutely nothing to Jesus Christ it means absolutely nothing and he is the king and there's no one like it don't care what you say or what you do or what you have he got the last say now or later we all will stand before him you reap what you sow God is good he's always been good they turned their back on nobody God when he said come back to me and repent they got to deal with him all over the world is destruction do they think that United States is going to make it out of that I don't think so because almighty God said from east to the north from South to the West the four corners of the Earth he's going to rock this nation because of wickedness and greed so it doesn't matter what norc had they don't own nor almighty God is the truth behold that it is her and they stole and lied until and now he's tired I wouldn't want to be them if they gave me a billion dollars I wouldn't take it because everlasting life is through Jesus Christ and he does all the picking and ain't nothing they can do about it it's a beautiful thing when you know who got the last say
At least it's not boring like Mississippi.
I was here recently, this city was way cleaner than NYC, but it smells like dead fish (NYC didn't smell nearly as bad). Those were my primary observations.
Back then, it was nothing but smoke and sulfur
still too dangerous......................
the fellas & lovely ladies is what happened
New ark
I always thought Newark would always be, because if you ever got broke in the city across the river, move on over to newark.
Honestly i might move there one day. Been on my mind for months
The 67 riots ruined Newark 😊
It wasn't too good before that, but after 1967, Newark went down the drain.
I love your channel! The videos are all great, they are always interesting without any fluff. Thanks for the videos!
Thank You.
What happen to Newark NJ. Covert CIA operations .👍♐♐♐♐♐♐♐♐♐♐♐♐
Still a cess pool
“New-ark” is in Delaware, this is “Nork” haha
Mount Pleasant Cemetery on Broadway is still the best neighborhood, and its population only expands.
Cory Booker
Newark has destroyed many historical sites are gone for new cheap swanky buildings
Thank God for the Ironbound because without it Newark would be the biggest slum dump.
Hi from newark uk lol r newark is a small town tho
Lol sorry man wrong Newark 😂
Can you do Norfolk VA next? It’s not really a forgotten city but it’s just stagnation but interesting
We purchased our first home in Newark back in 1985. An 18 room Victorian on a quarter acre in Forest Hill section. We paid the equivalent of a small three bedroom home in neighboring towns. The same home would have cost us 400% more in Montclair.
Police response time was a joke, you needed a legal firearm at home. Schools were awful so we sent our child to Catholic School in Montclair. School vouchers would shoot local home prices up materially.
Devils moving to Newark was depressing at first and I have a lot of good memories of the meadowlands but Newark is definitely growing and I don’t hate it. Kinda sucks we can’t smoke on the balcony anymore tho. Ayeeeeee.
At 2:24 when you comment about Newark public housing you show a picture of Mies Van Der Rohe's Colonade apartments which were and still are market rate private apartments not public housing.
Just searching "Newark, New Jersey" on TH-cam and nothing but videos about hoods and news stories about crime comes up.
Born in Newark moved when I was 14 to aurora Colorado. Ughh that transition was tough. Every time I would speak people thought I was from New York lol .
I miss my city though will come back to visit again soon.
Newark has the potential to be a great city, but the politicians did a lot of harm to it. Right now Newark has a nice downtown and a nice neighborhood in Ironbound. When you go west on Springfield Ave, South Orange Ave, it turns into a shithole
