Boy you guys are grumpy this morning. This girl grew up with friends of mine and I went to college with her sister mentioned in the article Kimberly or as we called her Kimmie.
They are really sweet girls and I am happy that Kerrie and her fianc? are moving to JC. They are not yuppie or hipsters so why are you calling them douches? Is nobody allowed to move to JC or do they need to pass some form of transplant test? Let me see what questions would be on that test?? What are the names of everyone in Bon Jovi?

Get over it and every condo that was mentioned in the last few "the hunts" was sold by different real estate companies so drop the conspiracy theories. People are really loving JC and much to the chagrin of a select few, more people are coming. I was one of them and I am very happy with my decision to move here from NYC. Go ahead I await the nasty comments telling me to go back to NYC or Ohio even though I've never been to Ohio.

I hope the crossing guard is OK and I hope she sues the driver who hit her. I thank her every time I see her out there.

I wonder if there's a way to sue the city to get it to enforce traffic laws.

If you sue them for that also make sure to also make them fix all those damn potholes in downtown. Like all of f%$#@!# downtown is filled with pot holes especially around the Grand St area.

I think increased enforcement of existing stop signs makes way more sense than putting in new ones. Here's my master plan; can be adapted for any intersection but I'm using the one that affects me the most:

Step #1: Put plainclothes officer on foot at the corner of Wayne and Barrow

Step #2: Park patrol cruiser on Columbus at corner of Columbus and Barrow

Step #3: Every time a car rolls through the stop sign at Wayne & Barrow instead of coming to a complete stop (about 85% of the time), plainclothes radios to the patrol cruiser.

Step #4: Profit

Step #5: More $$ for more of this type of enforcement around downtown

Step #6: Downtown Jersey City develops a reputation amongst commuters as having some of the most draconian traffic enforcement around

Step #7: Commuters avoid downtown streets

Step #8: Downtown becomes much safer for pedestrians

You sound like an idiot with the lame ol " i'll come and write on your stuff, and see how you like it ". What are you a 75 year old woman? It's a problem with no solution other than bucket paint and fines for those who are caught. Personally stuff on mailboxes, storm doors, abandoned buildings, sound barrier on the highways, etc doesn't bother me. Maybe I'm just used to it.

NYC is lame thanks to Guiliani. Police State??. I can't wipe my nose without getting harrassed by some undercover. It's the #1 reason I moved back to JC from Brooklyn. I'm anxious to see the wave of whiney topics if one day the JCPD strictly enforces quality of life offenses. You people will be crying about them not busting " the real criminals ".

In the 60's he marched with MLK. In the 80s and later he fought for our Second Amendment rights. These are of the same cloth - unpopular in their time but treasured later.

Hooray for Toll Brothers!!!!!!!!
I live in the PAD too, and I love the fact that all the Redevelopment is happening. I understand people?s concerns about conserving the historic factory buildings, but lets call a spade a spade. As of right now, I wouldn't allow my wife to walk the streets at night through that area (although crime is low, it just doesn't feel safe). Second those buildings are ugly (they resemble crack houses); I don't know how you could renovate those buildings to attract anyone. Third and most important which no one mentions, is MONEY. It cost a ton of money to renovate/ build anything especially downtown JC. Everyone complains, yet I didn't see you break out your checkbooks to place a bid for any of these projects to build to your personal specs, and the reason you didn?t is because there are only a few firms in the northeast that can make that size of an investment. So if Toll is willing to write the check to clean up our PAD and make it a more desirable location, I applaud them. And if they need greater density to make a profit then so be it (you wouldn?t do it for free). All I would only ask of the town council is to have a heavy hand in the decision making as to how the buildings will look, and the quality of the work is superior so that the end product will attract the upper echelon. In 5-10 years the PAD will be more desirable than anywhere else in Hudson county if we do it correctly. Inside A and Trump are turning out to be great projects with class A tenants.
Does anyone know how Onyx Equity is doing with 30 Montgomery, I am really excited to see what happens there. Columbus Circle is a great location in NY, if they turn that project into something like that, this town will skyrocket!
