I'm floored that the city actually did the right thing... Maybe if K Hovanian didn't waste so much money on those 77 Hudson ads during the LXTV show they'd be in better shape...

"It's our position that the sales pace at Crystal Point is double ours and the only reason is the difference in the tax abatement," Francine Chesler, staff attorney for K. Hovnanian, said

So, how bad is the murder rate in Jersey City. 9 murders thus far. However, 5 of them committed or co-committed by the same piece of garbage.

We'd pay police in order to be able to sell drugs.

Davarn N. Sims, 19, of Wilkinson Avenue, was arrested at about 6:05 p.m. at Carteret Avenue and Clerk Street and charged with eluding police, reports said. Officers on patrol at Claremont and Arlington avenues said Sims "blatantly disregarded a stop sign" and then made a run for it when they activated their cruiser's lights and sirens to pull over the 1992 Honda Accord, reports said. The Honda took off and ran another stop sign on Randolph Avenue before turning onto Carteret, where the Honda stopped and Sims jumped out, disregarding the orders of the officers, reports said. Sims was arrested as he tried to get onto a bicycle that was lying in the middle of the street, reports said.

Actually, jcnight, your mail belongs in the recycling.

50 feet? Right. That might be true if there was a trash can on every corner. But brilliant city government officials thought removing the trash cans would simply make the waste disappear so now instead of a trash can every 50 feet there is 3/4 of a mile between cans.

What have the city's planners & engineers been doing all these years? Yeah, that's a rhetorical question. For one, head city planner Bob Cotter has been in a high-ranking position for more than decade so he, of all people, could have done something about it already -- regardless of administration.

Give downtown 10 years and it will be....

"The details of Governor Christie's proposal in cuts to municipal aid are just being released, and our budget team is working to analyze exactly how this will impact our city," Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy said.

1st thing I did after our 1st flood shortly after we bought 13 years ago was a check valve. Water promptly sprang from every crack and opening in the slab in the next flood. The sewer leaks so badly it pressurizes the fill between the house and sewer and under the foundation. I'm sure this is a cause of much of the foundation caused floor sagging downtown, including my own.

At 50 Columbus, a tower in Jersey City that opened in 2007, ?the numbers are really pretty amazing,? said Jacqueline Urgo, the president of the Marketing Directors, a Manhattan company that oversees leasing there. She said 35 apartments had been leased in January and 48 in February, even though it was the snowiest month in state history, according to those who keep such figures.

Up the street at Grove Pointe, another tower near the Grove Street PATH station, the rental pace was also strong, Ms. Urgo said, with 14 apartments leased in January and 24 in February.
