This is the biggest reason to leave DTJC, as I did last year after 18 years there. Sad to leave, but I want space and room to breathe. The over-crowding/overbuilding started to get really bad about 5 years ago or so, IMHO. And there are other really great places to live in JC, trust me.

Just a reminder to all: Please do not leave any food outside for the stray cats. Last night I walked past a cat, two skunks and a raccoon all sharing a bowl of food. Happy for their camaraderie; less excited about the implications of their bold presence.

If I can figure out how to add an image to this message I will share a photo of their new-found friendship with everyone.

And yes, I will be speaking with my neighbors about removing the buffet.

How are we defining "people in Manhattan"?

Are we defining them as hipsters who moved there from Ohio 2 years ago with dad's credit, or are we defining them as people who grew up there?

There's a huge difference.

And I happen to know lots of people who lived in Manhattan that live in NJ- I'm one of them.

I live in JC, but I'd consider myself a lot more of a "New Yorker" than some hipster sitting on his Brooklyn stoop with a $5 PBR who spent his entire life up to 21-22 in middle America.

And I consider myself more of a New Jerseyan than a New Yorker which is saying something.

I have the accent, I went to college and grad school here, my whole family from my great-grandparents on has lived in New York since they came to this country, and many of them live in Manhattan...they all lived in Brooklyn when "Brooklyn Strong" meant escaping muggers not $6 latte or organic kale.

Those people are New Yorkers, that is the New York scene. There's a lot more "New York" about, say, the Italian festival on 6th Street last weekend than having a beard and riding a bike that your parents sent you when they visitied from the Iowa corn farm you were raised on.

Uhh that's been happening for years.

Ain't no one from NYC want to move to Jersey.

Once you move out of NYC you are no longer part of the NYC scene.

JaeTea, smarten up, you're a clown.

Maybe the trust fund hipsters from Middle America and Eurotrash transplants think like you, but not the average Native New Yorker.

Tell that to the thousands of well to do former Brooklynites and Staten Islanders that have moved to Monmouth and Middlesex Counties over the past 15 years.

Also, last time I checked, the shiny towers on River Rd and affluent towns in Bergen County have plenty of former New Yorkers that moved across the river.

No need to even mention Jersey City or Hoboken. Both are uniquely Jersey but have countless connections to NYC.

I guess Giants Stadium is in NY in your eyes?

The fact is that we live in one continuous Metro area and there are similarities and differences across the board but at the end of the day, everything circles back to proximity to Manhattan.

Can you imagine if some of the delusional hipsters get priced out of BK and move to Staten Island or the Bronx just because they are technically NYC?

I see some reality shows for MTV if that happens.

Let's see, so far we have blamed:

1. The driver
2. Cars parked too close to the corners
3. The boy's parents
4. SUVs
5. The city for its apathy toward pedestrian safety

Anything I missed? I would like to point out that the boy or driver might have been distracted by unleashed dogs in the park. Or by all the noise and trash from the basketball courts.


In all seriousness, that intersection is certainly in need of some added safety measures. A stop sign for drivers turning left from 8th St onto Jersey Ave would go a long way.

It still boggles my mind that anyone would choose a place like Bushwick over DTJC when it costs the same...granted the PATH is nothing to write home about, but the extra 5-10 minutes late night is worth it for a much safer, cleaner, serviced, neighborhood.

I have been to BK many times, I don't get it. The best places in BK to live are off the beaten path, others are overpriced and full of hipsters, and the rest are unsafe and grimey.

I was not the one that chose to ignore the ordinances that you and your GF did. I didn't get fined. And your GF must know that it's almost impossible to guarantee a dog won't relieve itself in an outside area. Even if you could, you couldn't stop other dogs from marking your dog's scent.

Oh and ideology isn't telepathy, however much you love, trust and respect your GF. You and your GFs cred is a little suspect when you chose to ignore the rules in the first place. What other rules do you choose to ignore? Curbing your dog? Picking up its poop?

If you are a dog owner, as you say, and your dog relieves himself at any given time, instead of on a set schedule, your dog is obviously not trained very well.

I have admitted fault, directly to you, for now the THIRD time.

Do you just have this insatiable need to feel superior? Or are you really that self-absorbed in your need to be correct?

I have explained, specifically to you, over and over again, that you are missing the point. Maybe you just have a problem retaining information.

Whatever it is, I implore you to stop posting here with your malicious attempt to be both sarcastic and cynical.

Yes, I too hope that the lively events which draw masses of people to a previously desolate plaza don't interfere with the business that opened to take advantage of the area's new popularity. That would be tragic.
