Woosh!

There are definitely homeless people but there are places they can hide and just live. The ones we normally see out and about have some type of disability, the ones that don't stay out of view. I was homeless at one point in my life. Although it was many years ago I still see some people living in the places people used to frequent.

Road runner sports in Paramus is another place that does gait analysis. Good to take note of what brands are good for you. Like Brooks and Asics have great stability shoes and roomy toe boxes. You could also consider shoe inserts to support your needs (like superfeet)

With enough garbage dumped into the canal, there can be.

The best a town can do to end homeless is stop handling money, very difficult for cities with naive tourists like NYC.

I am assuming you personally went. Makes me feel more comfortable giving them a shot.

Heights fitness definitely checks the affordable box. No contracts. you can buy 3 months up front for like ~40 a month. It’s pretty casual too. The only thing is it’s not big so it gets packed pretty quick in peak hours.

That was my thought too, but they didn't seem to budge when I asked about it. If you just grind this practice test you shouldn't have any issues.

Not many places to panhandle. Even at places like the Tonnele Avenue circle it’s the same handful of unhoused people.

No clue but here's some semi-logical guesses:
- JCPD, though they do very little, must have something to do with it. They may more often move people from a spot or do other things that make camping in any single spot difficult.
- Seems minor, but is major, PATH has its own police and unlike NYPD, they actually don't play around. They very actively kick homeless out away from stations. Since many homeless in NYC are near, in, and around the subway, this might be a significant reason there are just less here.
- Sub-point, this makes it difficult for NYC homeless to come over via PATH.
- Jersey City does not have as many conveniences for homeless as NYC. Less shelters, less 24-hour stores, less naive tourists.
- The culture of Jersey City makes begging and pan handling difficult. Perhaps we just give a lot less.
- Desnity + Median Income. All the boroughs are very dense with high population (4x to 10x higher than here) and have a much higher share of those in poverty and such than Jersey City (as a whole, not just Downtown). There are just literally less homeless here.
