“Why would any self-respecting normal person even think about living there?”
Most wouldn’t, though there are small areas that are OK; instead, a number of people either work there or pass through on their way to somewhere else (like NYC). In the areas surrounding the city, there are many people who used to live in Newark (or their parents did), and they have no illusions about how dangerous many residents of Newark are.
