Moving to Newark with kids -good idea?

Hi all, Born and raised here. Poverty rate is 11.8%, which is around average. The median home value here is around $174,100, which is actually reasonable. Rent is about $926/month for a decent place. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Let me know your thoughts. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The suburbs are where most families end up.
