There are parts of NB that are unsafe and I think the cops generally don't care about keeping students safe.
That said, any grown man afraid to walk on Easton Ave is not a man (unless it's in a TTFP jersey on game day which I wouldn't be surprised at for board trolls).
He has also remarked that downtown Jersey City is unsafe when that is complete baloney and unless he lives in Alpine or Millburn or somewhere of that ilk, which I doubt, he likely lives somewhere that costs less so not sure what the elitist remark was in reference to.
Define "downtown Jersey City".
