What is going on everyone? Sorry about my the voice I have a summer cold and it won't
go away summer colds are the worst speaking of the worst let's take a look
at Newark New Jersey Newark is right here not far from New York City has a
little bit of land in the Hudson River separating the two talk to anyone from
New York I'm sure they'll tell you that they'd
like a little more water between the two of them like this much or even this much
Newark has 280,000 residents and was incorporated into a Township in 1693 and
into a city in 1836 and it's been a downhill slide ever since then except
maybe that first year 1897 that first year was great after that has been all
downhill New York's population hasn't grown much
in the last three decades they have about as many people moving in every
year is moving out it's almost like nobody wants to move there and nobody
really has the money to leave newark has always seemed like a place where you
just kind of end up when you're carrying a lot of bad karma from maybe a past
life or something like that like in your past life you kicked over an outhouse
with a nun in it or something like that but let's say you have some bad karma
and you feel like there's a place you need to go Brick City maybe for you but
before you go you should watch my top ten reasons not to move to Newark New
Jersey
number 10 bad drivers according to bank rate.com New Jersey has the third worst
drivers in the country and Newark is the worst in New Jersey now according to the
residents bad drivers are scattered throughout the city so you never know
when one of them's gonna hit or something like that this is such a
problem you will be paying more for car insurance just because you live and
drive in the City of Newark bad drivers are ever in this city just this month a
driver jumped a curb and ran straight into the tube poles holding up the
famous Newark Symphony Hall marquee sign thankfully alcohol was not a factor but
stupidity was number 9 least friendly according to insider calm Newark made
the top 20 list for the rudest cities in the country this is probably because
it's in New Jersey and the residents have a reputation for being a rude bunch
of a-holes or maybe it's cuz their Jersey accent who knows makes people
uneasy their accent and uncomfortable like a bra made of sandpaper with the
rough part pointing in either way when in the city be prepared it's all I got
to tell you just be prepared they talk weird and it seems rude if you're from
the southern United States and end up here just know that these people are
from another planet compared to what you're used to in the south with all
that southern hospitality stuff number 8 ewr Newark Liberty Airport is one of the
three major international airports that serves New York City and it blows the
traffic to and from this place affects the entire city this Airport is
incredibly busy and is actually one of the top 15 busiest airports in the
country just in 2018 alone the airport served 46 million residents and it's
also one of the worst airports in the country easily it's like a third world
Airport in the United States just this week they had a plane blow out tires
because it landed too hard and another one skidded off the runway good times I
think when I did my airport one I described ewr as a place they should mow
down grow a forest burn down the forest so everyone will just remember the
forest fire not the airport number seven potholes one thing the city
is really good at is waiting until the last minute to fix the roads they have
become the Masterclass of putting things off this is the type of city you start
to wonder if they have auto insurance for tires only while you sit on the side
of the road waiting for the tow truck you have those thoughts going through
your head thankfully this year the city is going to spend 1.4 million dollars to
repave 29 miles of road within the county
good luck trying to get anywhere while that's going on number six the South
Ward the South Ward is one area of town you definitely want to stay out of just
like any major city the closer you get to an airport the worse the crime gets
it's just a fact of life and I mean really who wants to live near that
Airport anyway the neighborhoods in the South Ward have far too many boarded up
houses and shops for anyone to try and say that this is a great neighborhood so
stop typing now I'm sure there's some good people in these neighborhoods the
downside is you just got too many bad people there too that's usually a bad
thing for the the good people that live in a town you got a bunch of a-holes
running around causing all kinds of problems and these people are almost
like victims I feel bad for them a lot of times vacant and boarded up buildings
is always a bad sign number five the kiddie parade now this one's not as much
the event itself as it is assigned newark is changing and that's kind of a
negative the local kiddie parade has been a part of the Newark community for
decades originally started as a pet parade then eventually grew into the
Newark annual Kitty Day parade where kids all over the city dressed up in
costumes and had a parade kind of like this whole carnival thing unfortunately
after the 50th anniversary officials felt that it was time to end the beloved
parade for good the last parade was held just this month on the 1st and will be
gone forever they're not gonna have one next year or ever again a lot of people
feel that this was the last piece of Newark from a better time number four
not for families according to wallet hub calm Newark is one of the worst places
to raise a family for various reasons including crime rate
schools and stress level the city is ranked the second most stressed city in
the United States out of a hundred and eighty-two other cities they're number
two that's incredible public schools ranked far less than
average and the crime rate is through the roof at almost 20% higher than the
national average it's not a good place for your
kids number three the weather the weather here sucks the summers are hot
July is usually around the high 80s low 90s all month long and it's humid so
that sucks especially if you're trying to sleep and you don't have AC nothing
like trying to get a good night's sleep when you're laying on a bed covered in
sweat now the summer's are bad but the winters are extra cold with temperatures
dropping into the low 20s in January and kind of stay in there for some time the
city gets about 26 inches of snow every single year and they also get about 48
inches of rain every single year which is about 10 inches higher than the
national average number two people are getting whacked Newark has ranked in the
top 15 for the most murderous cities in the United States according to patch
comm in the city last year 36 people kicked the oxygen habit for every
100,000 residents just this last February a man was sentenced to 190
years for putting three people on ice he will be eligible for parole after he's
completed 158 years of his sentence maybe by then we'll all have recovered
for that crappy last season of Game of Thrones and number one it's dirty Newark
is a very dirty city in terms of the environment and pretty much just overall
it's like the city didn't get that memo about not tossing trash out the car
window back in like 1973 over half the residents who work drive alone rather
than take public transportation or carpooling less than 25 percent take
public transit here and only 8 percent carpool the more drivers on the road the
more harm it will do to the environment for example the city's pollution index
is 46 percent worse than the national average while the air quality index is 7
percent worse than the national average and like the rest of New Jersey you're
almost always within walking distance of a great Superfund site you'll know
you're getting close to one when you see glowing frogs
