[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bergen County NJ has 988,000 people, is right across from New York City, and recorded 0 murders in 2025. The median HHI in Bergen County is $4,000 LESS than Montgomery County. We need to do better.[/quote] The difference is Bergen County doesn’t really have significant low-income rental housing. They also must have had a history of redlining or some such since I can think of several towns there with very little diversity (historically very few blacks or Latinos). I know people who grew up there and graduated high school in the 80s/90s and their yearbooks were basically all white. Plus: gangs. They just don’t have the subculture that typically comprises gangs. It’s hard to deal with crime once the genie is out of the bottle. But Bergen County really isn’t an apples to apples comparison to MoCo given our demographics (both racial and socioeconomics).[/quote]
