Re: Vacant Buildings

Not too shy to talk
Not too shy to talk


This thread was actually a pretty hilarious read. Everyone has their biases and is on the attack - Yvonne with her anti-mayor bias automatically assuming the worst and declaring the city is about to take away everyone's property and gift it over to developers, and everyone else attacking Yvonne.

Sully definitely made the best point - all this hoopla has just proven that apparently putting properties on this list has worked somewhat, as at least some of the properties from the 1999 list are now occupied.

Actually the problem is that people are offering evidence to disprove of your theories and yet you continue to stick to it. Grove Street, a much more direct route to NJMC I would think, was closed this weekend between Montgomery and Mercer. I doubt there were any problems getting to the hospital as a result.

The bigger overall curiosity for me is that you've made countless different arguments in various threads over the past weeks. A sample based on what I remember:

- The plaza was illegally created (opened before a vote)
- Bad for businesses on the street/favors certain businesses
- In violation of handicap laws/makes it harder for handicapped people to get to the doctors on the street
- Makes it harder to get to the medical center

And countless others I'm sure - you just added the "was Ward C asked?" argument to this thread as well.

All of your arguments have been debunked throughout, but you continue to find other issues.

So again, I ask you - why do you have such a strange obsession with this? Are you one of the few people who actually thought it was a good idea to drive all the way down Newark Ave? Are you personally upset with Fulop and just attack everything he does? Are you just afraid of change?

This administration has made the problem worse by closing Newark Avenue. The main issue for JC residents - trying to get to the Medical Center and how closing Newark Ave will impact that. Now I hear the Silverman Brothers want Grove and Montgomery close for their business.


Yvonne, I've been reading this site for years and decided to make an account just so I can try to understand your strange obsession with this one-block pedestrian plaza. I've noticed you always seem to complain about parking and road/car related issues, but you seem to really be stuck on this. Why exactly does this bother you so much? Do you really, actually believe closing that one block makes any difference whatsoever in getting to the Medical Center, or anywhere for that matter?

I commuted into Jersey City for a year and I only went all the way down Newark Ave once. It was a mistake, because there is very little room for cars to turn due to the traffic light on the right. Do you really thing it makes a difference if this section is closed? So, you make a turn one street earlier, which is easier to do anyway. Closing that section is actually smart, because the previous traffic flow was stupid to begin with.

So why does this actually bother you? Is it just because it represents change which you seem so bent on resisting? Is it because it is appealing to a demographic that you don't identify with? I moved to Jersey City for things like that - areas where you can walk around and have a lot of space to sit and eat. Have you actually been there? There's tons of people - families, kids, people eating at the restaurants, sitting in the street. It's great. And you actually think a better use of this one block is to have it clogged with cars trying to make a right turn they could have made a lot faster a block up??
