Some of us who have lived in Fort Lee a long time just have a bit of a hard time accepting the demographic changes. Stores that don't have English signs. Houses being used as Korean "boarding" places (illegally). Schools where almost half of the children come from homes where English isn't the language spoken at home. It's hard when you feel like your own culture is being "pushed out" by an influx of immigrants. It's not that Asians are bad people, not at all.
This is just my honest opinion, and please don't construe it as racist. Ask yourself: how many Koreans mix with non-Koreans? As a non-Asian,if you were going to spend $500,000-$1 Million plus on a house, would you choose Fort Lee? The answer is probably not, and it is clear to anyone who sees Fort Lee houses being sold, more and more to Asians.
