Bayonne, NJ
GENERAL -
6/5/2006I have to agree with Dr. Mary on the comment she posted.
I lived in this city for over 50 yrs. with a 10 yr. miss in the 70s.
I'm retiring this year and will be soo glad to get out of this sewer.
This is the highest tax and highest car ins. area in NJ and NJ makes no.1 on the car ins. list.
If you look at the crime rate its listed as avg. to the rest of the country, Most of the crimes never are reported because little or nothing is done about them. The city does not want them to be noted so it looks like a great place to be. The biggest crime is the political machine that runs this place.
As for majority of the stores, they are owned and operated by Arabs, Indians, Pakistanees, Hindues, and some Orientals. They all pedal lottery tickets and phone cards. I would not get anything from the deli section in any one of them.
If anyone thinks I'm kidding about this place, just come to visit. You will probably get a speeding/parking ticket at some point, the cops love out of towners.
Also read thru the city web page and check out what a homeowner can do to his own house with/without a permit, o yea they charge for every one.
So if you want to be living on a 25X90 lot and pay 8-10000 yr.(unless your on the city council) taxes and get a parking ticket, parked in your own driveway, welcome to Bayonne. Only the Truth jj
