<p>@dm2017 really, stops using “trash”, it’s hurting your argument and it comes across as insulting. Try “dysfunctional families” or some such thing. It’s more descriptive and folks are more likely to listen to your points (some good) and not focus on the word “trash”. </p>
<p>In Newark’s case, many of the inner city transplants from the south came from very hard working families (it was the only way to survive), but once they got to Newark, the jobs started to disappear, and then the issues with crime and drugs cripple these communities. (this was pointed out in the article)</p>
<p>@NJSue Public Schools in Florida are much like NJ, in that we have some very high performing schools, and some very poor schools. Our poor schools are more likely to be rural, while NJ’s are inner city. Saying you don’t want to live in Florida due to the schools, is like saying you don’t want to live in NJ due to the crime (or, property tax!). </p>
