Saying you're looking for a place in a neighborhood, is far, far different than "promising" you're moving there (as accused here in this thread).

One can't help but wonder if the crime situation in Bergen/Lafayette might be better if the Mayor had followed through on his promise to move there after the election. Sadly, he remains encamped in a small studio rental in Paulus Hook, bags packed for Trenton.

I believe the mayor never said he was moving to Bergen-Lafayette; he did say, however, he was moving to Ward F. Parts of downtown are now in Ward F.

Definitely hire a good architect. In order for any contractor to pull permits for a job like this, the city will require you to provide signed and sealed drawings from a licensed Architect. The condo board may even require it as well. In addition to providing you with all the required documentation to get the project built, they'll also analyze the zoning and building code issues involved at the very beginning to help you assess whether or not the project is even really feasible.

While a lawyer is critically important for ironing out all the legal issues involved with a project like this, they really aren't versed in the building code issues or interpreting the zoning ordinance into a workable design.

If this campaign brings in 10,000 new residents, let's say 2,000 will be children which means we need new schools, teachers, and parks. Perhaps, there will be 3,000 cars on our streets and 8,000 people taking the PATH. JC is 14 square miles, Newark is 24 square miles. There is a reason they are the largest city, they have more land. There is no purpose of bringing over more people unless we can accommodate them, especially when it comes to building new schools and hiring more teachers. New structures will be tax abated leaving the burden of new schools on regular taxpayers.

If it was a requirement, like Mrs. DeBlasio's chief aide was required to do, I'd have to. Luckily the head of the Department of Investigation is a key DeBlasio political ally so she got off with a note in her personnel file.

What job in America requires that a spouse be placed on a resume? What is wrong with you that care about this?

Oh no, an assistant's friend's wife has a Che Guevara t-shirt!!!!1!!!

What job in America requires this?

The chief of staff for the mayor's wife of NY job does.
And the boyfriend is a convicted murderer, cop hater, and race-baiter.

Not an easy guy to defend, unless you like killers, cop haters, and race-baiters.

Who is the cop you're referring to? Not me. Your cop obsession with me is a little creepy, especially when I've said several times that I'm not, or ever have been, or indeed worked in any capacity for any state, local, or county (or public) capacity.

I'm a person who pays in to support cops, firemen, teachers, not a person on the taxpayer dime.

I'm sorry you're offended that I'm pointing out that where you live, young white Trustafarians are pushing out poor people of color but you seem fixated on low income housing in suburban NJ instead! Well, I'm not really sorry, just amused.

Dodge, dodge, dodge. It is quite clear that ianmac is a NY Brooklyn hipster troll-he wants NJ taxpayers to cover bi-state infrastructure that also benefits NY, and wants a say in how NJ compensates their teachers, while not paying NJ taxes.

It must be killing him how fast charter schools will soon replace the NY public school system, at least if the parents have a say in it.

Strong words for an anonymous coward.

A coward who is paying more in NJ real estate taxes to support NJ students than you pay in your rent stabilized Williamsburg apartment?

Yup, a coward with skin in the game you lack. That's me! :)

I have to second the thought below. At first seeing the 7.5 million dollar number for the park I was not too shocked but $6.7 million dollars on a fountain?! That is crazy. Are they making it the Bellagio! There has to be 100 better uses for that money. Is this the first time that portion has been widely reported? Seems that there would have been a major amount of discussion and push back here.
