by GrovePath on 2008/6/26 21:47:57 Sal/NON you really should keep your nasty attitude for your weirdojc website, Grand between Grove and Marin is not empty lots but pretty built up already - so your point is lost. I think parkman already hit the point I was chiming in on: Quote:

parkman wrote: Steve, What I?d like know is, why aren?t the developers, who continue to get generous tax abatements, required because of those abatements, to repave the roads (i.e. Grand) they are digging up to run new lines for their properties. Why should it come out of our budget?

Yeah, but there are a whole lot of new condos between Jersey & Grove on Grand...

Steven,

I will email you as well but wanted to request that the stretch of Grand between Grove and Marin be paved as part of the next round. While the stretch between Grove and Jersey is in much worse shape and in even more dire need of repair, that stretch is not in good shape either (with a very uneven surface and a number of potholes) and could really use some resurfacing.

Your are being generous... Grand between Grove and Marin is in just as bad shape. Hopefully this gets added to the list if it cannot be paved in this round.

Fulop-hating aside (I'm not sure I even get ianmac47's point), I'm just glad Chris Columbus is getting paved - every time I come off rt. 78, it's such a telling contrast between the sudden baja 500 pavement and the gleaming waterfront towers in the distance (see brewster-supplied signature below)

The following is the 2008 street paving schedule for Ward "E"

1) Warren Street from Essex to Dudley
2) Grand Street from Grove to Jersey
3) Colgate from First to Third
4) 6th Street from Manilla to Erie
5) Manilla from City Line to Boyle Plaza
6) 6th Street from Jersey to Brunswick
7) Brunswick from Newark to CC

(In addition CC will be paved as part of a state grant. We are aware of the dire condition of CC and the need)

Many of these streets were added based on constituent/community group feedback to our office. If there is a street that is in need please e-mail Althea or myself in city hall and we will work to have it included in the next phase.

I hope this is helpful information.

Sincerely,
Steven Fulop

What about the other streets with crater sized pot holes? You know, every other street in Jersey City? I know it seems like a lot to ask to keep the streets from crumbling, but seriously, WTF.

Then we should suffice and do without till we get our priorities in order. Maybe we can procreate more often or just settle working for less money.

The problem with a lot of the new small construction in the city is simply the curb cuts granted for the driveway. In fact, I would argue that the biggest problem facing all new construction in Jersey City is a suburban reverence for the automobile. With the larger projects, its the parking garage pedestals and tumors jutting out from the base; with the smaller projects, its the wall of garage doors.

The fire department is probably the most powerful organization in Jersey City so you're not going to get anywhere trying to appeal... unless you know who to bribe. It sounds like a joke, but in this city it isn't, and in most cases it's the only way to get things done.

Yeah i suppose it would help...

I've been raised in Chicago living in east Williamsburg for the last thirteen years and thinking aboutpacking up and moving to monticello avenue to set up a studio with my wife that we would also live in. We've always lived on the outskirts of cities

So I guess I'm trying to find out if its more dangerous then normal? I know there's a pretty notorious high school around the corner but does that reflect the whole neighborhood?

Thanks

Because the city's so called tax abatement is actually higher than if the building didn't have an abatement at all. If they want the developers to pay for the abatement or PILOT program, there should be some advantage for the home owner.

Do a little research please!!!! Bunch of freakin morons on this site.

First of all, a 10 minute walk is hardly far from the Path. Secondly, I am purchasing at Canco because it is one of the most amazing buildings in Jersey City!

If you havn't been there, you really should not be commenting on this board. The building is very cool!

And I WANT ALL THE AMENITIES!!! Sorry, I dont want to live in a crappy walk up and I can afford more than 300K. Once again its not the pricing so much but the fact that you simply can't afford anything.

I'll have my doorman, gym, shuttle, and everything else that comes along with it.

Good luck looking for a shitty 1 bedroom for less than 300K or just keep renting buddy.

Just because a bipartisan group approves this, or approved something similar in the past for the financial industry does not make it right.

P.S. - "friggin" is pretty much a curse from my perspective...it isnt something Id use in a business or professional environment, so thats how I classify it. You dont have to agree.

Wow, you really nailed me.

So it's OK to call someone David Koresh? Is that better than the word Friggin'?

You respond to one part of my post and don't realize the hypocrisy of your own post. Par for the course. Keep fighting for Ron Paul brother! I think he's really got a chance this year!

Yep...I think its OK to compare some of Obama's supporters to the followers of David Koresh. People cant get past the "charisma" and really understand what the man stands for.

And for the record, you and others are the ones who keep bringing up a certain candidate. Im not foolish enough to think he is going to win anything, but I am hopeful enough to think that some of his ideas and thoughts might rub off on the general public and some other candidates.

Jules on West Side Ave was home-cooked, family-owned, unpretensious greatness.

(and the heights location was nothing compared to the one on West Side Ave)

Get Real, jules on westside ave was aweful, ate there once and had Heartburn for a month...

The one on Franklin st in the Heights was much better.

Hi all,

I'm going to move to JC next month, and this is going to be the first time for me to live in an urban community.

In suburbs where I had lived pretty much all my life, making new friends at a certain age ranage is very difficult.

Say, age between 30 and 45. People are already married and have young kids. They don't have the time to get out and make new friends, do they?

Anyway, that's what I had observed in suburbs that I lived. I'm hoping that things are a bit different in JC.

So let me ask you this; (if you are 30-45 years old single or married with no children) Do you find it difficult to make new friends with people in this age range?

I'm an amateur musician, and thanks to that, I can meet people very easily. But to be friends and to do something together with people in this age range is very difficult (I'm 41).

Do you find my comment generally true? Or am I crazy?

Oh, I understand the context. I was actually trying to take it easy on him. I mean, hearing Obama talk about PTSD makes me laugh , when his opposition actually served in the armed forces and was a POW. What makes PTSD so hard to support is the lack of people who can actually understand what soldiers have gone through.

My grandfather was in WW2, and I actually know where he fought, but I'll never have the arrogance to deliver a speech implying that I know what it's like to be in combat. And like I said before, if it had such an impact on his family....HE WOULD KNOW EVERY LAST DETAIL. IF IT WERE TRUE.

Yes, the mainstream liberal media B & whine whenever someone picks on their golden boy.

And they disregard the transparency of the Obama campaign's weak attempt to make Barrack seem patriotic when it comes to our armed forces and defense.

Barrack loves to build his own experience from members in his family. His Grandmother, His Uncle, His Mother... It sounds so juvenile.

Yep, every 10th grader. WW2, Holocaust studies in a basic US History class.

Is it that big of a deal, No, but it points out more and more how Obama uses BS to try and gain experience points in his life that he, himself didn't earn.

Yes, when Hildog or McCain slips up, they get criticism, too. Obama supporters better get used to taking some things on the chin, instead of whining about it.

Maybe someone running for president should brush up on their American history... Especially when it "involves" someone in his family, and has had such an "impact" on his life....

Indeed they did. They also specifically prohibited the government from infringing on freedom of the press. Are you suggesting that nothing more than handwritten pamphlets are now protected?

If one bothers to read the thoughts of our founding fathers one will learn that private ownership of firearms was regarded as a critical bulwark against tyranny. This is of the same cloth as their defending freedom of the press.

Also, the notion that the Second Amendment, unlike all others, privileges the state at the expense of individuals is mere sophistry.

The "founders" also wrote the "right to bear arms" when muskets were being used. I don't think they had uzi sub-machine guns in mind.

There is the law and there is the reality. When I spoke to the JC Police about getting a carry license here they said, ?We don't issue carry licenses.? BTW, I have a carry license in CT, hardly a bastion of firearms rights but no chance here. To claim that people have their right to self-defense respected here based on some theoretical possibility is silly.

Imagine if the same situation prevailed with one's right to religious freedom or freedom of speech.

As far as the Second Amendment goes, "bearing" of arms seems a lot like carrying them. Perhaps you insist on open carry?
