Looks like the building on Newark ave is finally getting worked on again. They extended the wooden exterior out to the side walk and took out the old cracked Windows above the ground floor.

The hard grove cafe signed it up anymore though. Any idea what's happening there?

The building is being demolished, that's what's happening there.

Everytime I went in there it was filled with Yelp yuppies.

Why does anyone think downtown JC is a hipster haven when it's literally just filled with corny white people or people who have lived here for years? People cry hipster when they just want to rant about anyone remotely young because they feel out of touch and old.

Might want to walk outside and get a better perspective on things, lol. This is only good news for that street.

I have a feeling you are a new arrival. It's far better and safer to dodge "Jersey bros" than it was to navigate the "urban element" that persisted there until recently. Just the truth.

It's 7 pm, still daylight. Your bike was stolen from in front of the ferry terminal, you turn around to walk home? Very believable reaction.
Where was security?
Why didn't you call the police to report the theft immediately?
Oh yeah, you were drunk.
You turn around and see the thief, you pick out your bike at 60 yards while drunk, and then call the police?
You follow in stealth mode and happen to see the thief steal another bike?
The police release the "stolen bike" to a person who is drunk, claiming its his bike, with no proof other than the statement of a drunk.
Any thief would ride like the wind to avoid being caught. This whole account stinks. But it is a nice story.

I believe they are planning direct connections to the 1/E/R. Those parts are very behind schedule, mostly because there was a big dispute between PA and MTA as to who would actually pay and do the work, which lasted years. Turns out MTA is responsible for the buildout and construction, so it's on them as to when those things will open up.

They are, and remember that the WTC E station is connected underground to the Park Place A/C/2/3. When that opens, it will assuredly be faster and easier than going above ground.

I have yet to find a map of this, so I guess I'll have to explore in person, but I can't see how walking east underground to Fulton Station is closer/faster than just going aboveground to the 1,2,A,C and particularly the E (unless you are going to Brooklyn). I'm not criticizing the tunnel, just wondering if it's at all a shortcut rather than just a way to avoid going outside?

I'm not sure about the religion, but they have a long history of being badass soldiers. I loved the recent story of a Sikh US Army Captain who finally got permission to wear a beard and turban. Anyone who doesn't want Sikhs fighting on their side are morons.

I won't argue you on that. I just pulled it from my ass, having never heard of a terrorist attack from Sikh's. Like I said I could be wrong.

Reverend Perry at Jersey City Together took two properties at $90,000 assessment and using what I said earlier, he also said these properties are paying $6,733.80. Yes, I did round off the tax rate to $75.00. So a home assessed at $100,000 is paying $7,500 in taxes. Reverend Perry talks at 27:54 on the video https://vimeo.com/162619076

You just keep proving that you have a complete and total lack of understanding of the intricacies of this topic. Assessed values are NOT market values. Those are the theoretical values in 1988, which is why the rate is ~7.5% of those values. The effective rate, which is what everyone else is talking about, is ~2.2% of today's market value.

Please, seriously, stay out of the conversation. You are only confusing yourself and others.

That's not how it works. The reason DT is underpaying is that, under the current system, all areas of JC (city-wide) are assumed to have appreciated at the same rate. Obviously, that is NOT the case. But, because that is the assumption, all current valuations are based on the value determined in 1988, adjusted for appreciation on a yearly basis, and so you end up with houses in areas outside of DTJC that are assumed to have appreciated at the same rate as a home in DTJC, so their taxes are assessed on that valuation, but that is obviously not correct.

I'm also curious where this 2.1% number is coming from. Isn't the tax rate derived from some arcane formula, the result of which changes year after year? If so, wouldn't it stand to reason that the percentage of assessed value people will pay would actually be 2017's tax rate (whatever it comes out to be) and not 2.1%?
