Jersey City hasn't publicly called itself "The Gold Coast" in a few years, but it has been one of the fastest growing cities in the region for a while. Even the New York Times has taken notice, saying "Jersey City is shedding its dingy image and emerging as a destination of choice."

It's the fastest growing city in the state, and has the tallest buildings, with more high-risers sprouting than any other city's downtown area.

But there's at least one New York City exec who thinks Jersey City just isn't cool enough.

Sean Black is executive vice president of WeWork. He told colleagues at a real-estate panel in Manhattan that he is looking to open a WeWork location in Brooklyn because it's "cool."

"If you look at Jersey City, it's so far ahead relative to a lot of different products it has, but it doesn't have life, it doesn't have vibrancy, it's not cool, it's got no vibe," he told them.

A WeWork subsidiary received a $59 million tax break from New Jersey last November to lease space at One Journal Square, a two-tower, 1,725-unit project planned for near the PATH station.

Like any large metropolitan area, Jersey City has its problems, including crime and congestion, but do you agree that Jersey City is 'not cool' and 'has no vibe'?
