Obama makes peace with banana republic dictator in Cuba, the left gets a universal thrill up their legs.

Trump brokers peace between the Korea's, and now gets NKorea to agree to denuke the Korean peninsula! and the left is melting down. Go figure.

One of my tenants showed me some photos he took when he was in Hoboken a few hours ago. Flood waters high enough to flood out some really expensive cars.

The JJ is adding more pictures to the photo gallery in this piece. As of 11:47 am there are now 20. Wow DT got hit.

Regardless of how anyone may feel about the show, or its star, the truth is that the city handled this poorly.

And, Steve Fulop should do more than just blast the legal department via Twitter.

NBC relocated their antenna from the Empire State Building to WTC, requiring a re-scan of your tv for all OTA users.

Anyone still not get the channel after the re-scan? All of my 4.x channels are crap now. Used to be clear as day.

What extra money? With the SALT limitation at $10k, the extra take home is wiped out and then some.

You assume that every taxpayer owns a home or lives in a state with out of control fiscal "challenges" and liabilities like NJ.

If all else fails you can also find foreclosed properties and get financing with Fannie Mae's site www.homepath.com. Priority is normally given to first time home buyers. I've submitted a few offers on this site.

I love seeing the people on NextDoor who call it a "Middle Class Gentrification".
Natives like myself have been speaking of the gentrification of Jersey City for a decade now. Many poor Jersey City families have had to move out because they could not afford it anymore. Most were POC but poor is poor and knows no racial boundaries. My family was originally from DT, and now most don't even live in JC anymore. Anytime I raised these concerns online or in a group setting, I was always told variations of "oh well, the city is more safe now and theres more places to eat so the gentrification was a good thing". Twitter (usually on Fulops tweets), NextDoor, Reddit it was always the same story. Now that the bill has come for those who benefited, we're seeing protests and media coverage. People in this thread and other places have been making the argument that "Old lady Sally has lived here her whole life, why should she have to sell her house". I made similar arguments for years. But in my case "Old Lady Sally" was "My Puerto Rican Aunt", and my argument fell on deaf ears.

Because of this, I'm finding it very hard to feel sympathy for the DT owners. The NIMBYS of DT have demanded so much from their politicians. Bike lanes, revamped parks, additional policing, festival after festival, road work. It has always seemed like a major portion of the city's expenditures have been centered Downtown. And the rest of the city has footed the bill. Not anymore.
