Dubbed a "business necessity" rather than a leisure destination, Newark in New Jersey, US, has landed the top spot as the world's least friendly city.

Well, it has been run by Democrats for 50+ years

So has Burlington VT. It's lovely.

Are you sure Democrats are the problem?

Portland ME has been run by Democrats forever, too.

It's lovely, too.

Wasn’t Lou Costello (comedian, Abbot and Costello) from New Jersey?

Don't know, off-hand. However, Frank was from Hoboken.

I will say that parking is an absolute nightmare in Hoboken. You have to have a permit just to park on the street!

I said "South of Trenton". You are correct, Trenton is central. I'm from around Philadelphia. The areas I'm talking about are in Burlington County, Camden County, Gloucester County, Ocean County, etc.

Not sure where you hail from but I am in Camden County.
