GREAT! See ya.... We need all of these crappy Newark Ave stores to vacate. Lets finally get some great restaurants and retail. This neighborhood is in a transition. Like it or not, there are many young wealthy professionals moving into the neighborhood!

All i'm saying is that a park at street level will be beautiful! The wall is not nice to look at and frankly, I believe a park on top of the structure will not be used and will be difficult to police.

CALL THESE IDIOTS EVERY DAY UNTIL THEY GET IT RIGHT! MR. CZAPLICKI CAN BE FOUND AT YOUR LOCAL BAR ANY EVENING OF THE WEEK! RAZZOLI NEESS TO BE TARRED AND FEATHERED!

I'm fine with a it being a park but tear it down and make it a park at street level. This is not the Highline in NYC. This is JC with no tourists. A park on top of this ugly structure is a huge mistake!

The embankment sucks and really does nothing for me. I am one of these people of Jersey City.

Take down the embankment, replace everyone in the building department, hire more cops and start cracking down on quality of life crimes.

If anyone runs on that platform, they win!

1. Knock it down!!!!

2. Build beautiful single family homes or townhouses. These homes are desperately needed in Downtown JC for families with more than 1 child.

3. Maybe the developer can compromise and donate 1 block back to the city for a park.

4. Collect millions in tax dollars.

THIS IS A NO BRAINER!!!!!

Call the building department and mayors office every day and tell the to FIRE RAZZOLI and his henchmen. STICK IT UP THEIR ASS!

As a tax payer, I will gladly pay for it! These scumbags at the Building Department have to go. The city will be a much better place with out them.

Its about time someone went after the ASSHOLES at the building Department!!!!!!! These guys are the worst. Every developer and business gets screwed on a daily basis and no one ever does anything about it!

SCREW YOU RAZZOLI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Fulop! If you want my vote you better clean up the trash in the building department so businesses can flourish and not be suppressed.

While your at it, give the Police Dept. a kick in the ass and start cracking down on the quality of life crimes. NO MORE LOITERING on Newark Ave would be a start.

I agree, these are animals we are dealing with, not people! They deserve nothing but to rot in hell Legalize hand guns for the good citizens of NJ and crime falls that day. I live in the same area and I know exactly who to watch out for, it's not rocket science! If the cops weren't so busy getting over time jobs on construction sites, maybe they could actually walk the beat in Downtown JC. Or maybe we fire all the jerk off meter maids and hire more cops. Let the cops ticket the cars, at least they will be out and about.

New awning just went up on the Saffron building at 217 Newark Ave. Looks great! New Real estate office looks nice too!

M650 Flats is a great building! Its directly across from the beacon on Montgomery. The Saffron is a beautiful building. The floor plans are on the smaller side but it is a pretty cool place and yes the location can not be beat.

Probably because us new and old JC residents do not want a nightclub PERiOD! Pubs and restaurant bars are great but any kind of nightclub is a blight

I would take the saffrons location any day over flats and definitely crescent court

Some people here have to get a life. There are a bunch of hypocrits here! Everyone one of you would accept help in getting a job so stop bullshitting everyone else.
You really sound pathetic!

Those stones are completely ugly and the entire structure must bie taken down. A compromise needs to take place where a coupe parks should be placed on some blocks and development on others.

Alstede farms is great!!!! http://www.alstedefarms.com/

Horrible web site

That place is going to be great!!!!! I cant wait!

TEAR IT DOWM ALREADY!!!! I would love to see beautiful high end townhouses contributing tax dollars. They should take one of the blocks and mandate that it be a park but at street level.

The park idea on top of the embankment sucks!

Mike Razzoli is the # 1 cause of hardship for any prospective business owners in Jersey City! He is the head JACKASS in the building Dept. I cant believe no one jacked this guy yet! His young cronies are impossible to deal with as well. Remember S""T floats to the top in JC!

Its the building department. If you have ever been to their office on Montgomery you will know it is full of a bunch of high school drop outs, inbreds and jackasses!!!

The Unions are run by a bunch of criminals and are draining this country! Do you really not see this?

Schundler was a jerk off when he was mayor, still is a jerk off and always will be a jerk off!

KNOCK IT DOWN AND MAKE IT A STREET LEVEL PARK!!!! NO CONDOS, JUST A PARK!!! ITS NOT THE HIGH LINE, NEVER WILL BE THE HIGH LINE SO STOP COMPARING IT TO THE HIGH LINE. IT SHOULD BE A PARK AT STREET LEVEL SO WE DONT HAVE TO LOOK AT THOSE UGLY STONES AND THE RESIDENTS OF DOWNTOWN JERSEY CITY DONT HAVE TO GET MUGGED WHILE USING IT!

Nice place but its completely idiotic that they are only open 3 nights per week. I can not understand why they wouldn't have a happy hour daily!

I would shop there daily if it didn't suck so bad!!! That place stinks of rotting meat, It is disgusting!

Trader Joes would be great! Screw the Goya products, Downtown JC is changing and the businesses need to change along with it!

Evict her immediately!!!! Why are my tax dollars paying for her to live for FREE?

The tax abatements are not hurting the city people!!! I live in an abated property and my taxes are over $8000 annually for 1200 sf. My taxes would normally be $10,000.

The developers of my building took a blighted property full of trash and turned into a great place to live. My building contributes over $2,000,000 in taxes annually even with the slight tax break they call an abatement.

Xerxes, YOU DONT GET IT!!!! ITS NOT BECUSE THEY ARE POOR! ITS BECAUSE THERE IS A HUGE CRIMINAL ELEMENT LIVING IN THESE PROJECTS AND WE THE THE PEOPLE OF JERSEY CITY ARE NOT STANDING FOR IT ANY LONGER!!!!

TEAR EM DOWN AND BUILD A PARK!
