Is public transit usable in Bayonne?

OK so I'm a teacher here and With a population of 70,468, Bayonne is a smaller city. The unemployment rate is 3.6%, which is pretty low. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Has anyone dealt with this? Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The suburbs are where most families end up. The city has invested a lot in new development.

There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a project manager who relocated here from San Francisco about 12 years ago. The main reasons were weather and work.

Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Good schools in most areas
- Good internet infrastructure

Cons that are real:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Chain restaurants dominate

Financially, we've found it solid compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are developing, gas is solid.

Socially, it's exactly what I was looking for. Good luck with whatever you decide..
