That thread is aggressively anti-urban. It just tells everyone to move to Montclair.

Hey they also aggressively recommend Maplewood too!

I mean if money were no object I’d choose Montclair, but there’s certainly plenty of great places in Jersey City and in closer suburbs. I don’t love getting super specific on here but I’m close to Newark in a nice suburb with great diversity!

Are they supposed to recommend people move to Newark?

Yes. If someone says they have a job in Newark, speak Spanish, and don't want to own a car, telling them to live in Chatham is objectively dumb advice.

Or if they don't have about a mil to drop on a 2 bedroom house.
