Where are all the people in Jersey City??? So many new residences, but I see no people.
Aside from Historic Downtown and the older areas of JC , the newer areas suffer from a 9-5 issue.... During the Weekday the Newer areas of Jersey City are ghost towns....the older areas still retain a sense of busyness... Hoboken is a little different due to all the bars and restaurants and touristy stuff near or along the Waterfront... Thus it feels like an extension of Manhattan rather then suburban city...
It really depends on the area. A lot of those newer larger buildings are being built by Harborside/Exchange, which is a 9-5 area, or the corners of the PAD, which is just old warehouses - so no real reason to walk around there yet. There's always people by the waterfront, Marin and the Grove Street/Newark Ave/Montgomery Ave areas. I just try to avoid having them in my pictures
And I don't think there are as many small rooftops/roof decks as there are in NY, but some buildings have them - mainly the mid-rise ones. The last photo update I did wasn't from the waterfront but a less desirable area - I'd assume rooftop decks aren't really budgeted for in buildings over there.
Anyway, large update of mainly smaller projects - Village/Hamilton Park/Harsimus Cove area
