Bless your heart for landing at Newark....bless your heart.

But, do an Uber or Lyft. Whichever is cheaper. No to yellow cab.

Uber Lyft for sure. Cabs are very expensive and dirty from EWR

Uber or Lyft for sure

And remember to tip your driver if they help you move all your stuff!

You can also take the NJ Transit to Penn station. Much faster if in peak times.

What is everyone’s take on the NYC housing market? More people and businesses are moving out. I’d imagine it has to continue to dip.

I’d think that has to ultimately impact home prices.
