Will razing an apartment complex and turning them into townhouses reduce crime if the residents are the same?

Have you two ever met?

No. I think we're both of the view that meeting offline with online folks is a little weird. Though Amby is dead set on organising some sort of meet-up in August. I've not really made my mind up.

Yeah, my feeling too. If you change yer mind, tho, let us know. I'm curious how short he really is.

I wonder what they mean by "low income"....

See COAH website for those details. They have an encyclopedia of rules on that subject and an army of bureaucrats to interpret and implement it. I still don't get it.

If you judge from appearances - the types of cars you see in those areas etc, those people must not have two brass shekels to rub together...

Rents are phenomenal in NJ - proportionally on a par with the UK.

According to COAH site, "Fair Market Rent" for a 3 bedroom in Union, Plainfield and Newark is $1320. In Woodbridge it's $1,682. I expect "low income" is anyone who can't afford Fair Market Rent?

I don't know how they establish affordability, though.

Thats about what we pay - though for an apartment (basically the top floor of a house) with two bedrooms (well one bedroom and a storage room where the cats #######).

Of course there are slum townhouse areas as well - places where houses are boarded up and left to ruin. I saw a couple of neighborhoods in Newark like that when I took a wrong turn off of Morris Avenue...

I may have seen those, also off Morris near Kean U. I thought that was Hillside?

There are a couple of boarded up houses in Hillside, but nothing that really compares with Elizabeth (which in turn pales into comparison with Newark). The place I saw was on the way to the Oranges - basically GPS took me on a rather nasty detour to a place where every other house was boarded up and where the public streets looked like they hadn't been resurfaced in 20 years.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

The horror of youtube...

I found videos that people had uploaded from my town in the UK - including one with drunken chavs pushing themselves down hills in shopping trolleys.
