Response to Carl Sharif's "Downtown Newark"

Analysis



In a recent editorial in The Star Ledger, writer Carl Sharif discusses the future changes that Newark is planned to go through. In his editorial, he lists the advantages and disadvantages of these changes. His main message was to make sure that indigenous Newark people will benefit from these changes. Personally, I agree with him. I’m one of those indigenous Newark people and I feel that I should be able to benefit from these new changes that are being done to my city. When I am old enough to work, I would like a job in one of these businesses that will be coming to Newark.
In addition, not only me, but other people that have been born and raised in Newark without a job. These changes should provide more jobs for the unemployed. Also, sense they will be designing new neighborhoods to live in. All social classes should be able to benefit from it. Even if it is more upscale than other neighborhoods, people who are not as wealthy as upper classes are work just as hard as them and deserve to lie down in a decent and safe environment.
Needless to say, these new changes that are happening to Newark should be beneficial to all people, from poor to rich.
