You have the post above for Dallas.
As for Newark, I don't know where your county is, but I'd wager that it's easily much greater in both population as well as population density. Both of those things lead to the issues we're talking about. Because sure, I could buy this house right now in cash, still have money left over, and probably live on minimum wage. It's three times the size of the house I'm living in now and it's about 7% of the price.

Meanwhile here, I can't even look at a for sale sign with the money I have. This has nothing to do with where on the spectrum the local government falls though.
