Outside of huge buildings, most Jersey city landlords are locals or people who worked their asses off in order to afford a house. Even if someone inherited the house, they did so from family members (probably parent) who also worked their asses off and were probably still too poor to move out of Jersey city, as anyone who made money Pre-2000s left and went down the shore.

And for these landlords they aren't raising rents to get rich, they're doing so to pay the huge taxes that help those aforementioned moaners get their bike lanes and $50k park fountains.
