Jersey City for example built more units than Manhattan as of recent, and the NYC demand has to be satisfied on the NJ side as the city just isn't doing enough to quell it. Only a matter of time before Newark booms big time. The framework is in place and there is a decent amount in the pipeline. Just a matter of shovels on the ground.
And not just in Newark but along the rail lines as well. NJ is undergoing a big multi-housing boom at the moment.

That is absolutely right. The amount of development in the past few years right across the river in Harrison, NJ, is also remarkable.
We took Amtrak to/from DC this past weekend and stopped at the Princeton Junction station on our way back. There is significant TOD development at that station as well.
I had to go Jersey City for a meeting yesterday and I am impressed with both how diverse Jersey City is and how much new development there is.
