Day-to-day life in Bayonne, NJ

So, With a population of 70,468, Bayonne is a smaller city. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Should I be concerned? Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.
