With Newark undergoing economic revitalization, there is a common concern about the rising cost of living.

If anyone will like to participate I would send an email with a short questionnaire . Your participation and all of your responses are anonymous. We would love a response/opinions from our residents. ALSO Feel free to comment down below any opinions/feedbacks as newark residents and your experience with housing cost in the city! We would really to connect and understand better the core issues. Thank you we highly appreciate it!

Most of Newark is pretty grimy. The north ward has been very active lately and the central/south/west are always active. I’d say the worst areas currently based on the drug activity, abandoned homes and apartments, shootings, and overall crime would be the area of freylinghuysen Ave,van vecten st, evergreen st. The whole area is an open air market for dope and crack and prostitution is out in the open. It’s definitely not a nice place to live or hang out. The other area I would say is the currently the worst would be the area of the Newark and Irvington border near south 20th, south 21st, Hopkins pl, Ellis Ave, and that whole area. It really looks like a ghost town with almost entire blocks with all abandoned houses and feins and homeless people living in them. Lots of drug activity and gun violence in that hood. Honestly all the number blocks plus the streets east of south 10th from Clinton to south Orange Ave between Irvine turner up to grove st in Irvington is a wild area. 18th Ave is notorious for being crazy. 14th Ave down by NCC was completely drug infested for a long time until the feds raided Hayes and 14th and indicted the whole block, since then there’s still drug activity but it’s spread out to other areas that have taken over as more of an open air market like Oscar miles village between court st and Mercer st. Don’t forget the blocks the stretch between lyons Ave and chancellor in the south ward and even in the north ward you got spots like Steven Crane which is a known open air drug market and has its violence as well. Even grafton and that area is drug infested. You can basically get drugs anywhere in Newark and violence happens everywhere in the city as well

Some of my old neighborhoods. I also worked in the NPS as an IT specialist so know Newark very well and it is not as bad as it looks in this depiction overall. It has many fine areas: the historical Weequaihic section, born to NY Mayor Ed Koch, the great comedian Jerry Lewis, and writer Phillip Roth, and of course the great singer Sarah Vaughn is from Newark. And the famous Ironbound Portuguese section, where many Latin American and Spanish immigrants live and where the movie, War of the Worlds was partly made, and other sections that have great neighborhoods: The West Ward--Vailsburg section, the North Ward, and a revived Central ward. Newark has two great magnet schools, Science High and Arts High where many famous talents graduated from. On the other hand, sure, there are many broken-down homes particularly in the Weequaihic section and Central ward. This is due to lower-middle-class poverty and the Newark Riots of 1967(which still affects Newark) and the 2008-9 recession. But Newark is on the upswing…slowly.

Give a Newark a minute. They're really trying to clean up & get it together. Newark is filled with great people & the city has potential !! My grandparents left Newark after the 67 riots. My mother is from Newark & so is my husband. I love New Jersey born & raised.

[@ronyeahright9536]

I was born and raised in essex county, and went to school in newark for 8 years; for literally my entire life i been hearing what you're saying , things like "newark is on the rebound", etc....baloney. It's still a shit hole.

Got kind of sad watching this. You rolled through a few hoods I lived in or grew up in. I was about to thank you for not turning right down South 8th Street from 15th Avenue because I think I would have full-on cried... aaaand then you turned left down South 8th street from 14th Ave, LOL. You didn't go all the way to 16th Ave-- I would have died inside if you did! Can't find the lie, though. Wouldn't live there anymore. That shxt has changed...

[@ennz2798]

Parts of Newark are being revamped, mostly the downtown area. Headquarters to few major companies.

[@ChaseAcheck408]

Uhh and... This place looks like the biggest shithole

Hello, I am a junior at rutgers university, newark campus. I lived on campus for 2 years and now commute. One of Mayor Baraka’s best known initiatives is the Newark 2020 development plan. With Newark undergoing economic revitalization, there is a common concern about the rising cost of living. As part of Rutgers University, Braven Accelerator program we are currently researching for our Capstone challenge, to find solutions regarding the issues with the city’s housing programs. If anyone will like to participate I would send an email with a short questionnaire . Your participation and all of your responses are anonymous. We would love a response/opinions from our residents. ALSO Feel free to comment down below any opinions/feedbacks as newark residents and your experience with housing cost in the city! We would really to connect and understand better the core issues. Thank you we highly appreciate it!

And this is one of the reasons why I left NJ 😢

Why is that burnt building still standing?

[@SutekhDaSteemroller]

Think that's bad theres a huge 5 story abandoned hospital in Elizabeth that still stands but its got graffiti on the outside of the top floor

[@9ine7even3hree]

Because it costs money to knock it down plus its in area the city doesn't even care about notice the abandoned projects they been boared up for like a decade

[@gymstar7124]

Worst fucking streets in Jersey potholes so big you can lose your car

[@lovebug6141]

Is so sad to see newark in those old house conditions 🥺🥺I use to live in Newark my school was warren st school, and than I went to quitmen st school and I remember how happy I was living in 17 west market st. And than 20 Waverly st. Which now is name Mahama Ali Avenue.

[@dorisjackson5322]

Thank you for these videos of my hometown. I dont get to visit as much as I like.

[@DC-gt5iv]

The infamous Number Blocks of Newark NJ, Redmans old stomping ground and where I used to cop great weed from lol

[@ReligiousZombie]

It's obviously a ghetto of significant proportions, yet at least 95% of the parked cars are newer than mine. Taking care of the car you have makes much more financial sense than forever replacing it so you can appear cool to your friends. And how does being unemployed prevent you from picking up debris that lies between your front door and the street? If anything, you should have MORE time on your hands to do simple chores such as litter collection.

[@alphonsozorro7952]

Dope brings money to Ghettos, hence fancy cars vs. rundown, worthless houses.

[@JudoLover71]

Way to go Cory Booker! Great job on your city!!

Newark isnt his home

[@alifarrent5249]

When was this video made ?

[@Hubert4515]

looks like a war has happened recently over there

[@alphonsozorro7952]

Stupid, war destroys houses; here houses are decrepit not destroyed. They are still habitable.

[@black007die]

Quick question what was your purpose of driving around the area shooting videos

[@cibida1]

gerard some people may have lived here decades ago. It’s interesting to see how places evolve/devolve. Plus, it’s documentation of history.

[@vastpeople9623]

I 💕 my hometown. Revitalization going on Downtown Newark. I'd love to see these areas revitalized as well..

[@HappierHealthierYou]

If the Crime goes down, revitalization and jobs will come every time.

[@ronyeahright9536]

I been hearing about how newark is being "revitalized" my entire life; baloney. Yeah they may fix up a few places here and there, and there are a few decent neighborhoods, but its still a shithole. If i lived in newark, id be embarrassed to tell anyone that.

[@achosenvessel6563]

@7:49 when he makes that turn onto South 7th Street and South Orange Avenue, that building on the corner is where i grew up back in the 60s. We moved to East Orange in the 70s and when i graduated from East Orange High i went into the Navy and retired from the Navy after serving 30 years. Never lived in New Jersey again but this short video gave me great childhood memories. Peace, respect and love to whomever made and posted this video. Never thought i would see Newark again but my best memories in life are there.

This is probably in the top ten of worst looking places.

philly looked pretty bad too..but I think this newark looks better than it did in the 70s and 80s

[@annetterussell4429]

What are the panels hanging on the telephone poles? Is. It solar?

[@markbooket6477]

Yes one of PSE&G brainy ideas.

[@LuisaD93]

This just brought back hundreds of horrible childhood memories for me 😔😱🤢

[@arimark]

Sad to see. My family settled here in 1855-all buried in Woodland-most lived on Bergan St-don’t think those buildings are still there-I remember looking out of my Aunt’s apartment n could see Woodland-it was pristine & manicured. Now it’s overgrown, vandalized. Most of my family left after the ‘67 riots. Still have cousins there. Somewhere

[@Scales7593]

I'm watching Detroit videos and now this one on new Jersey and I look at this and almost think it's worse; at least in the bad part of Detroit it makes sense, but here I have no clue what folks are doing living there... I can't tell if the corner store is open!

[@lufrmjersey]

[@bigdbigooo7829]

Newark has been drastically cleaned up from the 70s 80s and 90s. Ripped down 90%of the projects.

Born and raised in Newark. My mom and I moved to E.O. in 88 it ain't no different.
