Ah yes. The FAR more pressing societal issue of saving stray cats. Lol. (for the uninitiated, CAT is an acronym, lol.)

Are people saying that renters and owners of new construction should not have the same rights to street parking as other residents?

No they're saying if an area that held a residential building that held 6 people is demolished and can now hold 20, that they should find a way to provide parking for natural increase of cars.

This assumes the people who lived there before had a right to free street parking. But why?

JC has plenty of parking spots in existing parking lots. It doesn't need more lots.

Population density. Before street parking wasn't horrible, but when you start cramming more and more people on the same area it changes the amount of parking needed.

Why fight it? It attracts more people to the area.

You're assuming too much. Shooting targets is shooting target. Not everyone who shoots targets is practicing to kill.

More delusion. They may not intend to put it to actual use, but that IS what they are doing. Imagine a competitive fishing rod caster saying he's not practicing to fish and it's completely unrelated to fishing.

Yeah, watch out for those deadly biathlon olympic athletes who shoot people, or these dangerous archers putting arrows through your hearts. Are you out of your mind?

I don't believe so. At least I can tell a deadly weapon when I see one, whatever it's being used for at the moment. This does appear to be your problem, telling a weapon designed to kill from a piece of sports equipment that can kill if used improperly, like a bat or golf club. The fact that there are weapon competitions doesn't make the weapons less deadly.

But at least a river is not DESIGNED to kill!

Idea that guns are designed to kill is like an idea that car engine is designed to burn gas.

Not sure what I mean? ok, let me explain. Sure, some car engines do burn gas.However, burning gas is not the purpose. It is not the goal. It is not something that an engine designer aimed to achieve and it is not why most of us use those engines.

How do I know that? The're ways, here is the simplest one: if we thought that a purpose of a car engine is to burn gas, we would have to consider an electrical engine 100% useless.


I am going to leave "what are guns designed for" as a home exercise.

Duh, deadly weapons are FUN!! I wonder what the cops would think if my favorite pastime with the kids was mixing up deadly poisons.

Do you ever take your kids to a pool for swimming? Have you ever wondered how many kids drown each year in this country, - compared to how many people die from the gun-related accidents?

Almost everything that you do can be done in an unsafe way, against common sense and safety rules.

I've had cars pass mine while I've stopped at a crosswalk for crossing pedestrians (one example - that down hill cross walk under the turnpike at 7th street and Newark). Very scary, thankfully the person crossing was being alert.

Here's a link to the NJ Pedestrian Law.

http://www.nj.gov/oag/hts/pedestrian.html

Summary - Be mindful that it's drivers choice to stop if the pedestrian is only waiting and watching on a corner to cross.

Cars it seems are only mandated by law to stop when a person is in the act of crossing the street in a cross walk.

Didn't your parents teach you manners? You don't win friends by calling people dense. But then again, you hide behind a phony name to protect yourself. If my idea is wrong, then every bus in NYC who runs express and skips stations is wrong. They skip areas and only go to certain spots which gets passengers on the bus by avoiding the typical bus stops. Without the skipping the bus would be too compact with riders. It also makes the bus go faster. I am sure if we skip stations and do not pick up passengers, we would see similar benefits.

It will work but again you make it complicated. The train from Marion goes to Journal Square but does not stop as some work trains do not stop. They are on the trains but do not stop, this train does directly to Grove. The next from Harrison do not stop at Marion but goes to Journal Square but does not stop at Grove, it continues on to Pavonia/Newport. Again, you make things complicated. The idea is to allow riders to enter the train because it becomes crowded from Newark, Harrison, Bayonne and the rest of Jersey City. I have seen buses in NYC not stop at regular stops, they are called express buses. NYC does not create extra roads for the express buses. It does not stop on certain blocks. This is the same.
