I disagree with you chris , the City has been aggressive on crime and it has paided off as the rate has gone down last year... Development is pouring in , there are over 3,000 units under construction in Newark and if everything goes smoothly another 10k by end of 2017... Each week there are a few new projects that are announced...and some big projects like Teacher's village phase 2 , Newark Broad Street redevelopment and Triangle park redevelopment are expected to break ground by end of 2017/Q1-2018... Sure Newark has a corruption problem but so does New Jersey as a whole and the Northeast in general...that hasn't stopped other cities from making a comeback and it doesn't appear to be slowing Newark... Things are heating up...as for the project size its a little scaled back but its still very infill... The City layout is your standard Northeastern Urban Layout with a few odd Urban Renewal changes...
