The area in which this occurred is dangerous; you can tell by the residents interviewed on the news last night. Doesn’t look like a W-2 has been issued there in decades. I was surprised to see the Jewish population there; I had been there years ago and there wasn’t a white person in sight for many blocks.
The gibsmedats there have been very concerned about gentrification in other areas of Jersey City (where they were simply displaced by more productive uses of the land/properties). The news referred to this particular area as “gentrifying” as well, but I don’t see it - throngs of gibsmedats all over the place still.

I would imagine the jews are holdouts from 50 years ago, etc. as for the black ghetto... let them rot, not my problem. Let the gentrifying hipsters get what they deserve too for being so woke... no sympathy for either.
About 100 Hasidic families recently moved to Jersey City because Crown Heights is too expensive. Given that, I expect a very large influx and increasing friction with the neighborhood.
