Seems to me, if it is indeed a company car, then the company should take care of payment of the $300, no? Or at the least, that it would be a write-off? But, I find the non-resident permit restriction a good one given the dearth of street parking...

Wow, the article brings back memories of running relays at the Armory for grammar school. It wasn't too bad, from what I remember, 'cept that we got dusted by St. Aedan's. And the Jersey City armory track from that time compared pretty well to the wooden track at the 168th armory in the city.

We too are in the Heights. My wife rides to the Square on a Caribike (basically a Dahon), but they're no longer in business. Dahons are fine for the short commute. Bromptons are good, so are Moultons. You should check out the transportation alternatives site, transalt.org
Search for 'The Folding Bike Solution' to get a list of folding bike options. The Strida is another you should check out as it folds neater, though be prepared for chatting with strangers as it's quite the head-turner.

I've found Pew Internet reports helpful in filling out some aspects of this topic. They've identified clear differences in user behavior dependent upon access speed. As the expectation increases that the general population has reliable and fast internet access - banking, schoolwork, business, news promulgation - folks without high speed access are at a clear disadvantage.

It'll be interesting to see what the JCPD's reaction, especially Troy & Healy, to all this will be - that it was under their watch that things got so bad that the Guardian Angels crossed the Hudson. BTW, how does the GA support itself? Is it a not-for-profit dependent on donations/fund-raising? What is the trade-off? What does JC give up when they arrive? I doubt they're coming over for their health... I would beg to differ that the folks in ungentrified areas haven't been demanding these services - rather, we all know political action often results from strong voices backed by financial clout - something the "ungentrified" may not have available...

Well, from where I sit, a historic district in my neck of the Heights (I've got an 1880s Victorian) will likely force me to move as the kinds of repair/upkeep required will be out of my reach. But, I suppose a well-preserved Victorian is the going rate for a long-time city resident. I'm not going to argue about who is responsible for JC's revitalization (changes depending on whom you're speaking with - guppies, Hobokenites, yuppies, historic zoners, artists, Mayor McCann) - although I will submit that some credit is due to folks who decided to stick it out in JC. I've seen this crazy place through some pretty rough times...the issues today seem no less daunting, if not as immediately physically threatening.

Not to undercut my wife's volunteerism and use of the future perfect tense (?), but if it's an either/or situation between the 2-family monstrosities, and the oft-cited disorder 'historic district dementia' (DSM-IV 290.23) that friends have suffered downtown, I'll take the lesser of two evils - and choose the 2 family monstrosities...Good luck with this, but so far, as I would be, I am unconvinced, based on jclist threads and stories by homeowner friends downtown that historic districting would be able to do anything for me other than drive me to bankruptcy, violence, or suicide (not necessarily in that order)...

C'mon folks, let's stop piling onto the JC Museum, shall we? Lefrak's attorneys are doing that already.
The current location was donated to them in 1993, way too early to consider 111 First Street. It's misleading and incorrect to combine the Goldman debacle that was 111 First to the JCM's current fight against LeFrak. As most who read JCList know, the location is an easy 10 - 15 minute walk from the PATH station (I know, I used to live on Mercer). This is really nothing 'cept the LeFrak organization showing its true colors. Perhaps the museum should curry favor by doing an architecture exhibit on LeFrak's designed communities. It could use that bogus LeFrak Point Lighthouse as its exhibit emblem - a beacon to the supercilious.
