Hello,

I asked several bar/restaurants if they were showing election coverage Tuesday and the typical response is perhaps, and without volume due to how polarizing this election is. I've watched election coverage in the past at a now defunct restaurant and it was really exciting. Can anybody say for sure what restaurant/bar will air it front and center?

Just go to the Jersey City Clinton campaign headquarters. Should be plenty of room.

It would be nice if everyone that voted would actually pay the taxes associated with this levy. It is absolutely foolish to pass a tax when the state of NJ wants to cut school funding.

All good suggestions, but I'm shocked not to see the usual JC replies

You're a petroNazi! How dare you live in JC and want a car!

You better park that inside your building, and not take up any space on the street!

Idiot, you can't use Uber? Zipcar?? Citibike??? We're a transport hub!

I would tend to think that the hipsters would prefer living in multi family dwellings as opposed to unattached houses.

My statement is based on the feedback I got at a meeting about development of Central Ave. Landlords and business owners wanted more flexible zoning for business use and higher density allowances for new construction.

On the other side was artists / hipster contingent that vehemently opposed any development that increased density. The opposition was in part based in fear that further development would lead to more gentrification and hence, rising rents.

Others just didn't want more people living in the area, wanting the Heights to become more suburban in nature.

I'm willing the bet the so called artists and hipsters are just unemployed transplants from New York, living in the off pink Bayonne Boxes, with mommy and daddy funding their lifestyles.

Anybody surprised that the "bus" involved in the accident is actually a jitney? Think about that the next time you decide to board one because of convenience or price. You are supporting (and, really, encouraging) a handful of companies that have ZERO regard for the communities they purport to service. Jitneys are a plague, and unsafe for those riding one. But, I am sure lots here will keep continue to turn a blind eye to this since, after all, it doesn't impact them and, hey, it's only $1.

The jitneys are a scourge. Drive behind one for a while and watch their antics. They are some of the craziest drivers on the road, IMHO. This news story from 1010WINS notes that the jitney driver was taken away in handcuffs.

Cracking down and banning these buses is long overdue.

This project received a 25 year tax abatement, the last tax abatment granted under Healy in the same neighborhood was 12 years. This project is walking distance to the PATH. Another give-away. The economy is boom this is a seller's market but JC rolls out the carpet for tax dollars.

Having the good fortune of being born and raised in Jersey City long ago, I have the pleasant remembrances of a nicer place than the one that haphazardly exists today.
Unfortunately urban renewal cut a senseless swath through quite a large area along Montgomery Street and ours and many other homes were lost.
I kind of note a similar situation today especially in the downtown area as NYC spreads across the river and destroys the remainder of a unique culture in a rapid fashion.
Soon little pockets of what once was will be all that remains as buildings of behemoth proportions and too expensive condominiums crowd out those who represent earlier generations and their ways.
Some see it as progress I term it violence.

Thanks to all for contributing to the thread.

Agreed, but as previously explained NJ state has outlawed both red light and speed cameras. So not an option right now. But enforcement is.

The Highline Park in NYC is one of the true jewels of urban public parks in the country, if not the world.

I've seen plenty of bullshit written in my day (this election season has been particularly good for it, but I digress), but this is one of the dumbest pieces of it I've seen in a long while. It's good for one thing and one thing only. To walk in. Literally it. You can't ride a bike, bring your dog, play catch with your kid, hell, given its tourist appeal (because it's fukn downtown manhattan and not residential jersey city), you'll have a hard time jogging it. If memory serves, it is three times the size of the embankment and has one minuscule playground.

Aping the Highline here is the dumbest part of the stupid save the embankment BS that gets put out. Personally, I'd rather it stay the way it is, because at least the city isn't spending millions to build and maintain bridges, fences and entrances. Jewel of parks my ass. Fuck outta here.
