Asante's Restaurant in Teaneck. Maybe Newark has something closer, but I thoroughly enjoyed Asante's.

Newark definitely has some options. Might not be exactly what OP asked for but interestingly enough there’s a Mexican - Ghanaian fusion food truck called Afro Taco in Newark that’s pretty good.

I went to a place in Teaneck. Maybe it was Englewood. Let me get the address and come back

Nothing in JC that I’m aware of. Newark and the Bronx have options. JC is a bit weak on west African fare.

You seem to be under the impression that I said fear of being caught is the only reason for not commiting crimes. There's a whole host of contributing factors to why people do or do not commit crime. One of those factors is how easy the person commiting or not commiting crimes can be caught. This is the main reason why cameras are put on stores. Some stores even put fake cameras.

Again I understand if you're having a hard time understanding these concepts as you seem to be having a hard time understanding what I am saying. You seem to cherry pick certain words I use and argue against those instead of arguing against the logical statements I'm making.

>Yes fear of being caught

Oh, I didn't realize the main reason I don't go out and rob a bank is because I'm scared of being caught.

You're basically implying that humans are nothing more than animals and the main thing separating us from animals is the law. We all know that's not true.

Lol they were driving behind the person who did it, guess they were just bored

Sure, you gave me factual statements, but there was no inferences to be drawn so I ignored it. How do you know that the 5 states with the highest rate of hit and runs aren't also the states with the highest rate of identification? You only gave me a national statistic for identification, not a state-by-state break down.

>I would probably say that we don’t have enough evidence at this point (or at least it is too tenuous) to conclude anything.

I agree. Insurance rates are a pretty tenuous connection as we all know how complicated premium calculations can be. A dog barks in Ohio and rates go up in Mississippi. I figured it might be somewhat illustrative, but it's still only a potential correlation, and not a causation.

>Honestly I was surprised by this data. What do you think explains it?

There's a lot of factors that go into insurance premium calculation. For example, for states that don't require vehicle inspections, insurance might be higher due to a higher risk of injury due to potentially unsafe vehicles. No fault states might see higher premiums due to being unable to recover from the other side. Etc.

Thank god this issue was fixed!

Perfect New Jersey picture

Once in a while they post up at the school there to wait for someone to blow the sign. I’ve seen both JCPD and HudCo Sherriff doing it.

They’re already displaced.

I grew up in jersey city and downtown used to be the hood. The brownstones used to house lower income families. Tons of people were priced out of downtown.

I don’t exactly see the displacement of inhabitants.

Yes

I heard a rumor from another Heyday location that there would be a Heyday coming to J.C...but haven't seen anything certain yet.

There are a few spas in the JC downtown area I've heard good things about and are consistent with their online reviews.

Smog clouds 🥰

Very interesting that the difference in insurance costs is $170/year between states that require a front plate, and those that don't. OK, "only" 8%, but $170 is a decent chunk of change.

What's really weird is that many of the "no front plate" states are low cost-of-living states. Seems like that would help push insurance rates down, right?

Team Front Plate has NJ, NY, CA, MA - all of New England and the west coast - notoriously high COL parts of the country - lots of bureaucracy, regulations etc. Yet the average insurance premiums are $170/year less among this cohort.

Honestly I was surprised by this data. What do you think explains it?

"This bad thing can happen too, therefore nothing ever matters! Look at me, I'm so smart!"

This post exudes gentrification.

Thanks for doing the research. I disagree with your conclusion. I would probably say that we don’t have enough evidence at this point (or at least it is too tenuous) to conclude anything.

It's okay if you want to latch on to my hypothesis while ignoring the factual statements I made.

Yes fear of being caught. Less of a chance to be caught with 1 location on a vehicle that has a unique identifier as opposed to 2 locations with a unique identifier. Less of a chance to be caught doing something means that more people are going to do something right.

It's okay if this is a hard concept for you to understand.
