Wait until you go to sell your home. The housing authority won't let anything go, then.

Have to agree with that. Lived in Gloucester for decades and it was great but the last ten years has seen a tremendous amount of blight and crime. (A recent study placed Gloucester at #177 of the 200 safest mid-sized cities in NJ.)Rental properties with out of town landlords have become a big problem. The last straw was when the house next to me went to one bringing down the neighborhood with it. Got out last year and haven't regretted it. I love Gloucester City. I don't love whatever that mess is that took it's place.
