Downturn strikes at Hudson's heart

The Jersey Journal considers the effect of the Wall Street crisis on the Jersey City real estate market as the financial industry has driven most of the city’s growth in recent years.

Developers of housing projects who cannot unload condos will probably look to Jersey City to help bail them out.
