Maggie's Farm

Camden is a pit, and most of it should be bulldozed. But, there are several businesses there which are still quite healthy. Not to mention the industrial zone, which houses some tech start-ups.

Camden, in my opinion, is better than Detroit, if only just. However, the issue isn't sending more government money its way (as we have taken this approach and clearly failed miserably). No, the answer is to let the locals figure out what they want to do without money. That is, let them determine their own future rather than having the state and federal government make them do things that haven't had any decent results.

Oh, sure, someone will point out the industrial area is a 'success' and it was done at the prompting of, and with funds from, the federal and state government. And I did say it's a decent area. However, if that's all we got for our money, and that's all you have to show for it, then I would suggest not mentioning it, because that zone could've been placed anywhere. The fact it's in Camden means little more than the government hoped it would spark some improvement - which it didn't.

I like the Aquarium, and I like the USS New Jersey. Both are in Camden. Still, I don't see either as justification for further government involvement.
