Do crime and RE go hand and hand, yes.

Yuck, I would rather move to ALamaba than live in Williamsburg.

Really want to start that comparison?

Most of the world would rather live in Alabama than New Jersey.

Not sure Alabama has as many immigrant enclaves as NJ, so I disagree

Yes, day laborers seek out their dream properties and move there, thats why they're in New Jersey...

and not Alabama. Home of the good ol boy network. What you easily dismiss as 'day labor', my grandparents viewed as 'opportunity'. To each his own...

at least in New Jersey, the have indoor plumbing and not out-houses.

At least alpine is finally picking on someone his own size.
Jersey vs. Alabama is a fairer fight.

Williamsburg can make fun of Jersey all day...

LOL @ nyc10022.

The average house in Bergen County is worth more than all the trailer parks in Alabama combined.

Actually, there is not a ton of correlation between short-and medium term swings in real estate prices and crime. And common sense points out that crime EXPLODED in the U.S. along with a real-estate boom in the late 70s and again in the 80s - including in NYC, but went DOWN in the 90s even as real estate cooled. Again, including in NYC. Or do you forget?

And here I thought, when we talk about the new "gangs of new york," we were talking about the master genius of Wall St.
silly me...

> The average house in Bergen County is worth more than all the trailer parks in Alabama combined.

Drive Route 1, a fairly major thoroughfare through Jersey, and you might see more trailer parks than all of Alabama combined.

But, at least Alpine isn't trying to compare his home state to NYC anymore. Williamsburg closets cost more than most of the houses in New Jersey.
