At over 90,000 residents, Clifton is a bustling New Jersey suburb just west of New York City. While the city boasts plentiful shopping and dining, bureaucracy is a persistent headache - the municipal government operates under an arcane 1923 law, and local elections have been known to get contentious. With a diverse population and location off major highways, Clifton may appeal to those seeking suburban convenience and affordability, but its complexities can be a turn-off for those seeking a more streamlined lifestyle.
