Hoboken

1. A mile square of beautiful walkability (bike rider heaven!)

2. 3 different public transportation options for NYC (warning: ferry is $8 ONE WAY)

3. If you like to vote, we have a lot of elections!

4. Fascinating history and a great museum!

5. Beautiful waterfront!

1. Political corruption (Hudson County)
2. Maybe be overdeveloped or will be soon.
3. One square mile with over 50K+ residents; probably approx 20K+ dogs. (Extrapolating from national statistic of 39% own one dog; 28% of dog owners own 2 dogs) It is a lot of dog waste to deal with.
4. The parking will age you.
5. A recent influx of new residents: white, well-off, Republican. See: luxury high-rises along waterfront. Where money goes, Republicans usually follow. This is probably true for many towns of Hudson County (Jersey City and West New York) Harrison, while not on the waterfront, is another working class, largely Hispanic community that is seeing high-end development. My neighborhood has gone from over half Hispanic to overwhelmingly white: where did my Spanish neighbors go?
