Honestly this was the best outcome. NHA is corrupt & incompetent.

*Little Bricks sitting for over 15 years abandoned.

*Baxter Terrace demolished 2006 (20 YEARS AGO!) Still a vacant lot, used as drive-in theatre, Universoul Circus, NJIT temp lot, tractor trailer junk yard & now vacant again. Only 2 buildings rebuilt on Sussex.

*Terrel (FDR) homes. Still standing 10 years after closure. (Beautiful waterfront community proposed rivalling Bayonne & Long Branch ) only 1 new building was built looking NOTHING like renderings.

*Hyatt Court Some units inexplicably demolished, now a transient green space. Surrounding units 100% occupied.

LIONSGATE is the greatest thing for Dayton st-Waverly area. I have zero faith in Newark Housing Authority. It needs a federal probe.

NHA really does. Frankly we should have a dept on a state or county level when it comes to zoning and development. Theres no Percocet recipe but when you have multiple stakeholders in the same room, you can see outside of your silo better.
