Someone was paid to erect barriers keeping folks out of Liberty State Park, and state park police remain on duty, preventing anyone sneaking past the barriers.
How does closing Liberty State Park save the state any money? Surely if the objective was to shut down state operations and save money, leaving the park open and unattended should be the result. Robin.

> $10,000 after reval, that's the likely property tax rate for a $500k unit. That will definitely suck.
The 2% rate is unsubstantiated speculation. Based on how hot (scarily hot) the market is all over Jersey City right now, 2% is not what the rate is going to be. These over-taxed homes in Greenville being discussed, they are on the market now for $300,000! There aren't $100,000 homes in Jersey City anymore. Brownstones in Bergen Hill are $700,000, even remote, less-nice parts of the Heights are $400,000+ I think that the overall tax base is higher than many people realise, and therefore tax rate will be lower than 2%. Robin.

I don't think you can clip a high-end hardened steel D-lock like the Kryptonite in Brewster's picture with bolt-cutters, not with 3' ones, perhaps with 6' cutters you could (6' bolt-cutters will snip most chains too!)
On You-Tube there are videos of cropping low-end Kryptonite locks, and even then, watch the struggle they usually have. I think Brewster's photo has been cut with an angle-grinder or hacksaw, look how smooth the cut is, when something is cropped it will have the depression indents where the jaws bit, and be more uneven. If someone can find evidence of a hardened D-lock being cropped I'll stand corrected, but I have not seen or heard anything first hand. Robin.

Not that I expect them to stay open much longer, they are surely in for a much greater windfall then Pallisades when they sell up to build some disproportionate condo-monstrosity. Robin.

Activist Crossing Guards.

Home away from home

Does anyone know the bounds of responsibilities and duties of the crossing guards?
All over downtown I encounter "activist" crossing guards, who go beyond helping people across the road and take on the task of directing all traffic through 'their' junction, often doing a poor job of it and causing more confusion and danger than they resolve. Are they authorised to do this? Or are they supposed to stick to stopping traffic to let people cross, and then getting out of the way again afterwards? Robin.

Chris at CKP construction, 201-332-6699.
He fabricated a replacement cornice for me from scratch to match historic photos at 249 Second Street, go-past and have a look, it's lovely. CKP seem to be the masters of this kind of work in Jersey City. He is known and trusted by the historical preservation officer/department, which makes getting historical approval far smoother if you are in one of the historic districts. Negative parts are: 1. difficult getting in his schedule, things can drag on waiting for him to actually begin work, 2. It's not cheap! Robin.
