Biggest downsides of living in Fort Lee?

I relocated for work and Poverty rate is 6.0%, which is pretty low. Median household income is $105,535, which feels pretty solid for the area. Average temperature is around 56--F, so the weather is moderate. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. What neighborhoods would you suggest? It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The city has invested a lot in new development.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want cost of living, then yeah this place is great. But if job market matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.
