Yup that’s the other thing. That 24 square miles includes a lot of airport and port land that isn’t useable for the general population so the city is really even smaller than that. Maybe like 18-20 miles of usable space.

Can’t believe we’re the largest city, must be by population

Yeah by population but land area we’re smaller than a lot of towns. The largest “city” by land area is Vineland in south jersey but it’s a city in name only and would appear rural to most people

Man if I could go back town and redraw Newark borders man this city would be large. Probably keep downtown in the east near the river and have every major road head towards it. Have the most western part of Newark look more green and hilly, the type of area were dears are eating grass in your yard

Yeah Newark would be a top 20-30 city if we included a good chunk of the immediate suburbs of Essex county like Montclair, the oranges, millburn, etc

All we can do is dream, but hey atleast we can still have a good population, just going to have to build up

Yeah the future for Newark is bright and it will improve but it’s definitely limited in a lot of ways given how tiny it is.
