I pass that block every morning taking my kids to school.

No commercial development in that immediate area yet. There is a lot of industrial warehouses nearby as well.

If that stretch of Clinton Ave and/ or Elizabeth Ave over there was turned into more a commercial strip, you'd see a lot of that.

Now why aren't blacks folks investing there, first there's few wealthy black real estate developers in Newark. There are black folk with money in the area (Essex, Bergen Counties). But they aren't developing real estate with it

Every major project in the city has been white people. But what IS stopping us from pooling together and doing something? Your guess is good as mine. These types of questions are why I made this post. Why aren't we doing it? What is REALLY stopping us?
