It's so close to NYC. And yet, after the areas around the two downtown PATH stations, the city is still mostly shit. Why hasn't it "happened" more?

Jersey kind of smells. it's nice to drive through on your way to Atlantic City, but nobody wants to actually reside there. come on.

doesn't NJ have higher income tax than NY? why live in a suburb of NYC and work there AND pay higher taxes.

doesn't JC have some hard-to-dislodge public housing facilities that create an immovable ghetto which drags down much of the rest of the city?

Could be? I'm not sure. It's just weird to me that even Weehawken has happened, but most of JC is still stone ghetto.

I don’t really know where you get this impression. I lived in JC 10 years ago when only downtown was livable, but since then way more area inland has gentrified and even journal square (which is more turd than black) is getting luxury high rises. As a poster above pointed out, it will take far longer to dislodge the ghetto areas around westside ave, etc, but that’s a pretty out of the way part of the city.

Most of Brooklyn is ghetto too, you just don't go to those parts.

this is mostly the answer. remember that jersey city is large. newark and jersey city kinda sprawl into each other. there are nice parts of JC, all by the convenient public transit, and it's possible the extension of the light rail will spruce some parts up (ie--jersey city heights by union city will be completely unaffordable pretty soon). but there are some projects that make parts SUPER shitty and reflect on the schools which can be pretty shitty as well.
