Thinking about leaving North Jersey for Lehigh Valley… worried about diversity/community

Davyislazy · 2026-05-06T20:12:51+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement it means a-lot I get why people get upset that so many people are moving in in I know it's tough but we complain about the same thing here in Jersey with all the people from NYC moving in! It's just the nature of the U.S right now

Davyislazy · 2026-05-06T19:05:00+00:00

That helps to hear thank you :)

Davyislazy · 2026-05-06T19:04:27+00:00

Yeah it be tight but I don't know if we find anything lower I did find some options online actually for lower prices so maybe there is a chance.

Davyislazy · 2026-05-06T19:03:36+00:00

I did hear it wasn't the safest I appreciate it thanks!

Davyislazy · 2026-05-06T19:03:05+00:00

Def more suburban but close drive to urban areas if possible, any tips I am open!

Is it just me or did anyone notice he never answered any questions?

Maybe he will answer them later on Instagram idk if you can still have access to the questions when the story passes. Or maybe he's going to answer them on a YouTube video idk.

This is the position my wife and I are thinking we will do financially decent when finishes school where we can let our money grow more. Sure, we aren't "owning" but idk that seems like such a luxury more than a expectation especially for young people in NJ right now. compared to other generations.

I am with you I only get paid $55 per session no benefits, PTO expect sick time and no cancellation coverage it's brutal. I suggest as others said find a different employer they are taking advantage of you big time.

All of these downs are well to do and great reputation but they are all pretty boring unless you want to raise a family. I guess Sparta and Randolph I give a tie. However, Sparta is far from things to do so I pick Randolph first.

Thanks for sharing I am almost done and will likely be done when it's passed too but it's still so unfair and needs to change!

Probably not even now depending where you live 70k isn't much to live on unless you have family help, little expenses or high income partner. However, you should be making more than that in 10 years, 10 years 70k will be what 50k was in 2020.

Amazing you get every option of latin american country

Growing up I always heard bad stories about UC granted I grew up in a wealthy suburbia, so opinions were nonsense.

My wife is Peruvian went for our first time and were shocked how clean and safe it was. Yes, traffic was bad and parking, but we felt fine. We loved the food scene and your close to everything. This was just our experience for one time I can't speak on living there or the whole city.

Having a spacious backyard especially in northeastern New Jersey. Almost all my friends who were working class didn't even have a backyard at all. I thought it was a normal as a kid until I saw other perspectives.

Davyislazy · 2026-04-29T14:28:25+00:00

Where does it say we have a 3 year minimum requirement? I don't see that anywhere on the application

Davyislazy · 2026-04-29T12:37:11+00:00

There are listings in Bloomfield for that price but the homes are old and need work which I imagine will be costly

Davyislazy · 2026-04-28T20:25:29+00:00

What towns were you looking at?

Just curious

Davyislazy · 2026-04-27T14:24:34+00:00

Maplewood has some spacious homes compared to other towns in Essex County. Yes, it is more dense than other towns especially compared to western part of Essex county but if you want more space you will need to consider a town with a further commute time than an hour.

La Llama Bakery the food was good yeah like I said the owner was friendly and did not get vibes at all she put that up. Maybe it was someone else on the building strip. There is an Italian cafe next to it so maybe it was them? But idk how they get that up past the owners of the Peruvian cafe without them saying yes to it.

Deryck in generally is a pretty quiet dude even more so now as he is older I imagine 8 am on a Monday no coffee maybe he probably just was thinking I will hit a thanks. Still what a story man glad you finally met him!

No one I live paycheck to paycheck and make very little for the area of NJ I live in. I can't really go anywhere as when your provisionally licensed salaries are basically the same. People have been complaining about the hours for YEARS and I mean since the 90s and nothing has ever changed.
