Bayonne housing: supply/demand

  • No crazy Chinese demand. The school district is a turnoff for the Chinese middle-class
  • too many “better” choices nearby such as
    • Journey square — better commute
    • Queens and JC — higher Chinese concentration and closer
    • Weehawken – closer to mid-town
    • long island
    • Brooklyn Chinese community
    • many parts of NJ are popular among Indians and Chinese immigrants
  • I guess the young professionals prefer Manhattan, Brooklyn, Weehauken etc
  • I guess the middle class families prefer Queens, NJ etc
  • I feel Bayonne is more popular with Egyptian, Filipino … immigrants and other immigrants drawn to the low cost housing
