Comments on: Flex on Hudson http://flexblog.faratasystems.com/2008/02/12/flex-on-hudson A blog about our experience with Adobe Flex Sun, 15 Jan 2012 16:29:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: driverjase http://flexblog.faratasystems.com/2008/02/12/flex-on-hudson/comment-page-1#comment-34975 driverjase Tue, 12 Feb 2008 13:17:52 +0000 http://flexblog.faratasystems.com/?p=296#comment-34975 Sorry I have to respond. Yes, Jersey City as a whole has been historically a high crime city, and as a whole still has its problems, but, Jersey City is quite large. Exchange Place (where you are) all the way through the historic downtown area (where I live) is actually quite nice (and getting nicer every day). Theres quite a bit of redevelopment going on through out those areas including a Trump Tower, new condo developments, renovated brownstones, etc. The 2-3 blocks you mention is actually just Exchange Place. With the close proximity to Manhattan (a 10 minute subway ride under the Hudson), its hard to beat and many people are quickly realizing this. Its hard for people to believe this, but I can get into Manhattan faster than many of my Brooklyn friends. Anyway, back to Flex talk, just had to correct the statement that made it seem like Jersey City as a whole is scary and bad. Sorry I have to respond.
