I appreciate that place with their blunt approach
Not the first time something like this was said

For real! I don't get how people move here expecting something different then end up hating JC because of their own ineptitude. Not saying it's right but we don't live in a perfect world.

honestly you shouldn’t be surprised in the suburbs either.

People have the misconception that something expensive = quality / upscale.
They don’t realize that 2,000 a month apartment is just dropped in the repainted hood.

I had to think for a minute whether it should be the other way around lol

it is part of the canonical american (racist) lore that crime happens in cities and suburbs are safe

Exactly.

Eh, a construction site near me put up glass doors and considered the site locked up.
Shockingly people broke said glass doors and stole their shit. That's maybe 10 blocks from this sign

My town sends out a police blotter email. Cars get stolen every week.

That’s the one thing that outsiders need to learn when they move to JC. 2000, 3000, 4000 $ rent doesn’t mean anything here. You can get stabbed walking out of “Journal squared”. Learn about your neighborhood.

In the suburbs the streets are lined with gold. There they don't know crime, illness, or poverty, and it is said even death is a stranger.

Heights fitness needs to treat their customers better. They can only act this way because of a lack of competition. Fortunately, they will soon be having competition.

lol, i tried going here for a little after it opened because it is slightly closer to my house than blink in jsq but stopped after the first month. the gym itself is not nice enough to be ~$20 more per month than blink and the constant emails every time someone broke a rule or stole a water bottle were funny at first but became annoying.

Thats a fair response. Waterfront? sure. Grove street? No problem. Paulus Hook? You got it. Everywhere else is a congested headache.

Same could be said about Manhattan yet everyone loves it. Lol
DCA6 t1_j6jzn8s wrote
Agreed lol

The real crux of it is population density. When you live somewhere with 10 times as many people in a small area, then you're far more likely to run across shit people.

So they acted surprised when their stuff got stolen?

This gym is so small and smells! I want to support small business but it has to be done right!

Or when the AG says police can’t pursue stolen cars and the criminals hit up submit and make a quick getaway to 78 or 24

Feel like I'm more likely to run into shit people from the suburbs than the city

That’s cute but unfortunately not remotely correct.
Common sense should tell you that higher population density and the relative anonymity of cities fosters a lot of petty crime. Multiples higher than in suburbs or the country. Crime statistics will confirm it
