Entropy...
This is UNION Township in Union County. NOT Union City which is one town up from me in Hudson County. Two very different places.
Nope.
Union hasn’t voted GOP since 1988, and with the new demos, it still won’t.
Nearby Summit, Millburn, Livingston and Westfield are thriving and are mostly dominated by affluent white Americans. It’s the blue collar whites who are disappearing from North Jersey (and the outer boroughs of NY).
This is cheap for North Jersey. Property taxes in nearby Millburn will run you $16K.
Liberals get all the nice towns in North Jersey. Can’t think of a nice Trump-supporting town in this part of the state.
Bergen County NJ added Korean to all county business (ballots and such) a few years ago; those Asians aren’t here to work blue-collar jobs. Look at the Indians in Jersey City (Hudson County), and understand they aren’t here to work blue-collar jobs either. Hoboken NJ has an Indian mayor.
Blue collar whites may have disappeared first, but there is no opportunity for white-collar whites in North Jersey.
Sure - but American workers are saddled with the costs of the imported non-working underclass.
Thnx
A nice Trump-Pence supporting town in the area is probably Florham Park, etc
Blue collar whites are in Belleville/Bloomfield/Nutley
Not any more. Belleville is increasingly Hispanic (the schools are already majority Hispanic) and the southern half of Bloomfield is largely African American. But you are correct in the sense that there are still blue collar whites in the northern part of Bloomfield and Nutley.
Yep, I live in a high rent building in JC (which is still cheaper than what I would pay for a lesser building across the river). Most of my neighbors are Indian or Chinese. I guess as a childless white person, I certainly fit a certain profile.
I passed an Indian food truck months ago in Jersey City (near the waterfront); I swear I could smell it two blocks before reaching it.
These are NJ’s “replacement Americans”.
Newark NJ wishes it had the economic activity Asian immigration brings; they weren’t thrilled when Harrison set up a whole village around the PATH station there - the last stop before Newark. I don’t know who lives there, but Harrison is generally filled with a South American underclass.
Harrison apartments have lots of Chinese and single white professionals. “Old” Harrison is heavily South American, ditto East Newark.
Thanks; I live next door in Kearny, but rarely go into Harrison. The south end of my town (bordering Harrison) looks more and more like “old” Harrison - which was heavily Polish with some Irish when I was younger (there is still a Polish parish there). East Newark is completely South American now; I believe the speed limit throughout the whole tiny town is 15 mph now (really).
