so what now? i'd be interested to see if something comes of this. if anyone else makes a statement. i hope arnold sticks it to her, and keeps bugging her. a one time run in would be a let down!

ps.

and to directly address the title of this thread. Does it really matter what randomly polled residents think? i mean over 50% of americans thought Ruben Studdard was the best bet for Idol, and we all know how that turned out.

Re: Barack Obama for President

the arguement i most commonly hear against him is his lack of experience. in my mind thats a positive. i'm sick to death of these slick politicians w/ all their "experience" and i want nothing more to vote for someone who is a breath of fresh air and still has some fight in him.

but we still have a year left, god only knows what will happen in that time.

3 words: more curfew vans. gets these shits off the street.

i was surprised to hear that they have so few that usually once they fill it up they go back to the station where they have to wait until the kids get picked up b/4 they can go back out. Some kids folks are MIA, so they end up waiting around all night. Why someone ELSE besides the driver of the van can't wait w/ the kid was never fully explained.

just seems more money needs to be put into getting these kids off the street b/4 they cause the trouble. i'm always amazed to see 12 year olds out when i'm stumbling home drunk at 2am. in my day our parents inflicted curfews, apparently in these days we need the gov't to do the parents job. perhaps the money can be raised straight from the fines the parents should be paying when their "little angels" break the law.

Re: Property Taxes

good luck. one thing i've learned is we will NEVER buy again on a place where the taxes aren't set in place. we had the same issue and its been a hassle. we were also told our yearly taxes would be x amount, but they were about 2g's off. everytime you call you get no one, or someone that tells you to talk to someone else. its a mess and the only thing i can say is good luck on the 26th. if anyone else is reading this, don't buy something that will soon be converted for tax purposes, b/c you will get screwed.

i know i shouldn't be shocked anymore, as others have said, and i'm not. but i am pissed that we are supposed to accept this as jc's way. its bullsh*t and its about time these people answer for this crap.

I'm really just annoyed anymore at the state of everything, and enough is enough. i'm glad someone raised a flag, but why should this be allowed for some and not others. if its bad enough to be outlawed in one situation it should be outlawed across the board. of course i'm not that naive i know why its not, but i think it may be time for something bigger than the jc political machine to come in, and strap these bastards over the knee and slap some much needed sense or shame into them.

as jlo said, ENOUGH!

oh and jersey city nj, i believe they admitted the cop fired back. that being said, i don't ever fully believe any accounts. unless i'm there, or sitting on a jury hearing ALL the evidence, you're just guessing and blindly following the bs both sides spew. THAT being said, i have half a brain to stay away.

Re: JC Heights- Congress St. Area

i normally take the 126 (willow bus) home thru hoboken and walk up to the elevator, would love to know what gate the 99S leaves from, figure on the crap weather days, i should try that one...

Re: JC Heights- Congress St. Area
Home away from home
Home away from home


i live in that area. the jsq path is not what you want. there is an elevator right there that takes you to the lightrail which takes you to the path in hoboken. or there are busses on palisades that take you to port authority.

i lived in downtown for 3 years b/4 moving to the heights and we love it. there are condos and single family/multi family houses (check out craigslist). the nightlife is ok. we go to the corkscrew for a drink or DC's in the back of hoboken, but then we also walk further into hoboken (washington is a 15 minute walk from our house) and the dining possibilities are many. (if you get there early before the whitehats invade). also LA Gloria on congress and palisades is delicious!

as for the turnpike its about a 6 minute drive i'd say.

overall we love it. sure it can get rowdy, but i'd trade that for a backyard and parking space anyday. Not to mention our block does have a neighborhood feel (minus the 1 doucheb*g house). Gotta love the hotdog man on congress and new york, and the friendly neighbors that we chat with when we pass by. didn't have that when we lived on grove.

Re: Jersey City Mayor Healy arrested after Bradley Beach incident
Home away from home
Home away from home


i happened to be in barry's tavern on friday afternoon having lunch. To my surprise who walks past us to his bike in the corner to leave but our own mayor. My friend and i waved and he came over. we told him we were jersey city residents and then he started chatting all about this incident.

we did not ask, but he told. He caught me a bit off guard bringing it up but it was quite entertaining listening to his rebuttals. Perhaps it was the afternoon cocktails in me but i had to chuckle. I totally forgot to tell him we need more f'ing cops in the heights, um i meant VVP.

in other news i highly recommend barrys. yes, its owned by his family for everyone concerned, but hot damn his son or nephew was bartending and he was the best damn bartender i've ever encountered. he's a throwback to the days of old (or at least what i think it was like back then). plus he's also a jc fire fighter and hero for saving some old lady from a fire.

i left early and averted my eyes from all cops. not sure if it was our mayors advice or just dumb luck, but i left bradley not in cuffs. thanks mayor.

Re: New York Times: Hoboken/ High-End Amenities, Lesser Location ( Condos by the Projects )
Home away from home
Home away from home


i walk past these areas all the time b/c i live in the heights and take the elevator into hoboken. when we bought 2 years ago, one of the condo projects had just finished. there's still numerous empty ones 2 years later, but yet this past year 2 more block size projects have started. I don't understand who's buying them, and i really don't believe all the hype "20 have been sold, ect".

i think anyone who knows anything about this area would have second thoughts. I'm not talking about the projects, i'm talking about it being a swamp land everytime it rains.

Word to the wise, if you do buy, you should add in a canoe w/ the closing costs.

sounds to me she's just sick of the bullsh*t. i don't blame her. i'm probably naive, but not enough to know the old guy flipped his story after probably getting paid.

who gave him the job? come on fat ass, i'm all for calling out the machine on hiring convicted felons or shady characters, but no one has a crystal ball.
there's no prior record talked about. So he's a scum lesson learned, but we can't blame the city for hiring him if he had a clean record

Re: Bolden Cunningham wins state senate seat
Home away from home
Home away from home


if you asked those that voted for her why, they would say the same thing, Manzo is a crook. no one bothers to do the research for themself, they just get spoon fed the crap on tv.

but honestly, does anyone ever vote FOR someone? it seems to me lately i just vote AGAINST someone. that may be sad, but thats how it is: lesser of 2 evils.

ps. our voting place was empty. so the article on here a while ago was right. They predicted she'd win off of the activists vote. b/c normal people didn't bother to show up.
so if you didn't vote, shut the F up.

Re: State Senate Race 31st District - Steven Fulop

can anyone really explain the whole mccann thing? i mean i really do not understand how you can put a CONVICTED criminal in such a position? it really blew my mind. I'm getting all my info together before i pick my choice, but i'm having a very hard time supporting someone who would make that choice.
Thanks for the links, and i'll check out his bills, but i just wonder what is his rationale here?
He may have one, i'm constantly surprised by politicians, perhaps i'm a little naive. i just assume once you're CONVICTED of screwiing someone, you're not the type of person i want in a position of authority. It shows me you're a shady character, period. yes, go ahead, say they're all shady, but come on people, he went to jail. i'm all for coming back into society, but not being put in a postion like this. its lunacy in my mind. and i used to be a McCann pre marriage...

Re: Sean Connors?

Home away from home


not to highjack the thread, but i do know that there have been calls into the dept in charge of overcrowding on one of these houses (pm me for the address). If you want to join that bandwagon, please call Mr. Coleman at 201-547-4824 for overcrowding issues.

The cops actually told my neighbors about the overcrowding complaint dept after they were called b/c my neighbor felt threatened that the teen who was talking crap to him had a baseball bat in his hand.

I did sign a petition at a neighborhood meeting months ago on 357 i believe it was. i THINK this is one of the ones for sale... so lets just keep on them. these little shits are rubbing me the wrong way and with summer approaching i'm going to need to start grounding up prozac in my coffee so i don't flip out on them and get shanked

Capers was out on $50,000 bail after being arrested twice in Jersey City this year, DeFazio said.

In January, he was charged with a weapons offense and on a separate occasion that month he was charged with drug possession with intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a school, DeFazio said.

why the F was he even out on the streets. the dealer did us a favor. good riddance.

one question, how are they going to deal w/ people that are out of towners? are they going to link all eazy pass systems thruout the country? what if you're driving up from bumble f kentucky and don't have eazy pass, will your final destination be our lovely downtown jersey city, b/c you can't cross the border?
will all rental cars now all come equiped w/ ez pass?

with his previous record this ass better go away for more than a couple months. i just wonder about what kind of time these dealers usually get. we see these busts in the paper, but i never see what the sentance usually ends up being.
just seems to me they always have rap sheets from offenses not too long before.

Re: Where can I live and be 25 - 30 minutes from Midtown?
Home away from home
Home away from home


the light rail stop is the 9th street station. But if you see a map on craigslist, if its near congress and palisades you're fine. but ALWAYS look at the neighborhood in the daytime, and if you can, at night. you'll see a difference.

as for night time, the lightrail stops at 1am and the elevator shuts off around 2 (LAME!). whenever i have a late night, i just take the pathtrain to hoboken and then take a cab home- usually around 7 bucks.

i don't take the gypsy buses, b/c i like the walk to hoboken for the bus. some people fear them, but i rode them for years, and i'm still walking.

where does the 99S pick up in nyc? also, how much is it, one of these days i have to give it a try. especially once the winter comes again, the walk from hoboken in the bitter cold is not the best part of the day...
thanks!

mc-

we've lived in the heights about a year and a half, and live about a 2 minute walk from the elevator. I don't really get around the heights that much, but central has some shops (pretty much 99 cents, but you get that on newark). I'm not a fan of hoboken (never was much for frat boys) but i have to say, i love being close enough to walk down there and enjoy a decent dinner before the morons come out at night. Not to mention we're about an 8 minute (oh yes, i time this!) walk from a great bar DC's, not to mention a 4 minute walk to the corkscrew- which now has fun weekend night festivities..(heights corner of congress and webster). driving around this weekend, i'm seeing a bunch of more conversions in the heights. they may only be for sale, but i'm sure you could find apts too. i'd just stay close to palisades or the elevator, b/c the farther west you go, the longer your commute will be. as for the gypsy vans, i used to take them too but haven't recently..

i've lived downtown and in the heights, and i like them both. and like i said, working in midtown my commute is the same (it was a bit longer actually when i lived in hamilton park). We just lucked out w/ backyard and way more space than we could afford downtown moving up to the heights, and i'm really glad we did.
