Indeed naive. Actually, a few years back the vendors were being harassed by plain clothes and what not. I believe it was when the arena first opened and the city wanted to...."sanitize" downtown so visitors would't feel culture shock and the literal "physical pain" of music or someone making an honest living selling goods.

I've been walking that intersection all my life...and I've never thought "ciTy oRdiNancE." If anything...I end up syncing my walk to the house music. I never saw it as selfish...I saw it as adding life.

I believe this--in fact, as an /r/newark reddit bro, one of the most FUN things to do is project what a working class community needs. $3,000 rents and organic lubricant popup shops!

“Nothing kills culture more than a yuppie,” Nasto said. “If you keep putting these new condos in there, they are the only ones that are going to be able to buy them. And then the neighborhood will just be filled with Starbucks and Jamba Juice.”

Yes, because new construction certainly made Jersey City the most affordable city in America with abundant housing across all incomes. /s
