All chipotle peppers are smoked. Chipotles are smoked Jalape?os, so you will get the same smoky flavor out of the dried peppers or the canned ones in "adobo".

can anyone explain to me the thought process behind prohibiting overnight parking on North Blvd, River dr and Shore Ln? Is there any other justification besides forcing people to pay to park in garages overnight? These are metered spots, yet when the metered parking is not in effect it is illegal to park there at all. Also what is the city thinking when it gives developers private streets to put meters on?

The shooting mentioned was an isolated incident, and it occurred south of Montgomery, where the neighborhood changes significantly. The area in general varies block to block in terms of cleanliness and safety. Tuers is nice, but streets farther east are not as good, and streets farther west (for the most part) are better. When you cross Montgomery going south, Bergen ave becomes the dividing line, and on some streets its JFK.

Re: What is with the trash and recycling guys?

They're idiots, thats what's with them. There are separate people who pick up trash and recycling, the last 2 times that I put out paper/cardboard the trash guys just threw it in the back of their truck with all the garbage. Not only does that defeat the purpose of recycling, but I spent quite a bit of time sorting it and stuffing it nicely into a large paper bag. 1 time might be understandable, but the second time I actually wrote "RECYCLE" on a piece of paper taped to the top of the bag, they threw it out all the same. I've also had plenty of times when they don't take the trash or recycling like they're supposed to, but that's not so bad, you can always call the JCIA and complain. They'll suggest you call Waste Management first since they are the company that actually performs the work, but WM never answers their phones or returns messages left. Not surprising that there office staff is as inept and ambivalent toward service as their trash collecters.

I live in the area. Tuers is a pretty quiet street, close to JSQ, not too much traffic, except when school lets out since there is a catholic high school and private grade school next to each other. Kids don't really hang around the neighborhood or make trouble like they do near public schools.

Re: Montgomery Gardens in Jersey City is slated to be transformed into low-density - mixed-income

It's a fact that high rise projects concentrate crime in one area. The residents are isolated in these developments, and as such their problems are isolated and amplified. Creating a lower rise mixed income development instead, is positive for the poor as well as the neighborhood at large. And mixed income doesn't mean rich, it means that more working people will be living there. Furthermore I don't understand where your outrage is coming from considering how you've described other neighborhoods on a different thread- http://jclist.com/modules/newbb/viewt ... id=250299#forumpost250299. You described a property as not desirable because it is on "Stegman Ave [in Greenville], which is definitely NOT someplace to live", and you described moving to Newark ave by Dickinson High as "pioneering", plenty of people already live in that neighborhood, and many of them are hard working middle class people, its hardly Baghdad (or MG for that matter.) How is this attitude any different than that which you are railing against here?

No one has accused "housing" of committing any crime, but there is a lot of crime occurring in and directly around said housing and pointing out crimes elsewhere is irrelevant. Its idiotic to blame the well off people at the Beacon, they did not provide the impetus for this project, and there's nothing wrong with them supporting it. I also live in the neighborhood, and my house is not a newly developed condo, nor am I "joe exec", I'm a guy who works hard for a living, pays his bills, takes care of his home and treats his neighbors with respect, which is a lot more than I can say for many people around here. Don't forget that the same people who throw trash all over the streets, scream at each other in the middle of the night and sit on my stoop drinking, are the same people who are popping out babies they won't take care of, eating food and living in apartments they barely pay. I won't deny that there are plenty of hard working schmucks stuck in the projects for whatever bad luck they've been dealt, and its unfortunate for them, but there is a reason that montgomery gardens isn't as clean, quiet or safe as those flimsy cramped towers in newport, its all about personal responsibility, and respect for others.

Piss in the elevators, trash in the halls and all over the grounds, and many units I've seen look like they have never ever been cleaned, stoves covered in 20 years worth of grease etc.

Right on. Xerxes ignores the fact that those privileged few who live in the new luxury towers choose to do so. People don't live in the projects because they're conveniently located and offer high class amenities, they live there because they're broke and its the cheapest option available. Unfortunately poverty breeds crime, concentrating the poorest segment of society in isolated developments only concentrates the crime.

Great. Christie blames the state's fiscal problems on teachers and municipal workers, because they demand good benefits and wages, and then he turns around and proposes this.
?On Xanadu,? said Mr. Christie, a Republican, ?you have essentially two choices you?re confronted with: Make it work, or tear it down.? Given the developers? investment to date and the project?s potential as a revenue generator, he said he was not prepared to endorse the second option. He won't endorse tearing it down because the developer has made a large investment? That shouldn't be the state's problem. As for potential revenue, thats hardly a sure thing with this ridiculous project.

We may be splitting hairs here, but I believe that despite the fact that in the majority of those examples the US was fighting against communist nations, the cause of the conflicts were not ideological. The US was not endeavoring to stop the spread of communism because it was unjust and repressive, but rather because we were in competition against the USSR and China which were quickly rising to challenge us as superpowers in their own right; and therefore represented a security risk as well as a major competitor for natural resources. Here is where our argument gets tricky, perhaps the only reason that we were competing against and not allied with those nations, was because of opposing ideologies; but does that mean the conflicts and proxy-conflicts we engaged in were ideological in nature? I don\'t believe so. In the case of Panama the US needed to reinforce it\'s control over the region as a whole as well as the canal in particular. If we were truly offended by Noriega\'s actions as dictator we wouldn\'t have supported him before he went rogue, he only became a problem ideologically when he stopped doing what we told him. The justification for being in Iraq as spreading democracy is nothing but a hollow justification for a war that never really was about \"wmd\". As for the war on terror, I don\'t see this as an ideological conflict either. Al Quaeda and other islamic terror groups present a very real security threat to the US, and while they are motivated by purely ideological reasons, our motivation to stop them is not; after all they are the very same people we funded and trained in the 80\'s, when they were religious \"freedom fighters\" battling the godless soviets. In each case a concrete benefit could be realized by becoming, and remaining engaged in conflict. I\'m probably forgetting something, but its hard for me to come up with any purely ideological wars since the crusades.

The fact that the US has a history of fighting for its economic interest (more specifically the economic interest of the economic/social elite) does not mean its fighting to defend the ideologies which are used to justify the specific conflicts.
Cuba is an interesting case, but one which I believe does not change this. If it was ever in the economic interest of the US to lift its embargoes against Cuba they would be gone instantly. The continued existence of the embargo itself is due to the fact that its removal would bring no benefit to those responsible, on the contrary it would be a risky political move.
