New Jersey was realistically the only possible choice for the region’s main seaport when container shipping took over. Newark already was a significant port, under the Port Authority’s control, and most importantly had ample room for expansion unlike the Brooklyn and Manhattan docks.What’s the real issue is that the extremely parochial mindset of so many New Yorkers renders them unable/unwilling to realize that New Jersey is *right next door* and not impossibly remote. I have no idea if that ever can be changed. |
