"Hoboken, Jersey City, Newark, and Newport are pretty crime-ridden." I live in Hoboken, in a part called "The Presidents" which 15 years ago used to be really unsafe. This is one of the worst parts of Hoboken, easily.

But it is not anymore, and I'd ask where your facts of "crime ridden" come from. I pay a good amount for a two bedroom condo in a sea of condos. I live a block from the "worst" project in Hoboken, and routinely walk around there at night. Hoboken is not crime ridden.
