Monmouth street between 4th and 5th and 4th between Monmouth and Coles should get an award for utter stupidity.
I took a picture of the PSEG Downtown Demolition Crew coming in to rip a newly paved/unmarked 4th between Monmouth and Coles. The lines weren't even painted yet!!! This was in July of last year. An entire year later the road is only safe for off terrain vehicles. PSEG is laughing at Steve for his lack of follow through on "getting tough" to make sure they repave roads. Then PSEG tells me these streets are not even part of the "Energy Strong" upgrades and they dont have a timeline or requirement to repave. http://pasteboard.co/1ocWjlMo.jpg

I would take as much photo evidence of the surrounding area as I could including the signs on the block. The ticket should have an address/location on it. Are you sure they werent blocking a drive way or on a red line that was hard to see? Blocking the corner?

I appreciate the comedy here. It is still kinda of annoying as I am used to free Sunday parking at meters in Jersey City as a life long resident. But if it happens I will adapt and go on.

depends on how much property values go up in Journal Sq between now and when the reval is done. I would think prices in JS will go very fast and will help to balance the increase for downtowners but I would expect both to go up.

Yvonne I am not a fan of the way people treat you on here but I am sorry I really disagree with you. I live by the embankment and would like to see it become a park. Parks don't need parking lots and the cost to maintain and the run the park will be minimized by the high level of community involvement in it. How is developing this most likely how the 10th st embankment going to improve Jersey City? You know the property will receive abatements which will further hurt the other sections of Jersey City, the county and the state tax payers at the expense of extremely expensive homes for the well off. How could you not want this? Cities need open space. Countless NYC parks have zero parking. Parks are always worth the cost and public tran makes it accessible. I will fight for any park to happen in any section of Jersey City.

Re: McNair Academic High School - racial quota

I know it is disappointing your child didn't get into Academic but just accept it and move on. The system that has made this gem in one of the worst school systems in the state should not change because your kid didn't make the cut. Even by 25%/25%/25%/25% your child was beat by 50 other people in the same situation.
I went to academic when they accepted 100 students per class. You think it's hard now lol. PS) I have heard people here say certain kids going to Academic are not bright. I have news for you, many people's intelligence and talents are not immediately visible and high school students act out in different ways. It's sad that parents are passing judgement on "nice" children they have absolutely no clue about. Anyone that is in Academic has earned the seat.

They applied for variances, got tax breaks and abatements for temporary affordable housing. The time to complain and block it is passed.

I think it is targeted at him because a billboard pinpointing everyone is difficult. I agree it wasn't just him lots of players involved. But he said he would work to revise it and development is a part of his plan for LSP.

Well thanks to all of the tax abatements for up to 30 years all the full taxing base in Jersey City would be on the hook for the difference basically it's wealthy welfare.
Hoboken and Jersey City can't be lumped together as Jersey City has a larger population. A larger portion of that population also lives below the poverty line.

It's not cyclist faults the Fulop does what he wants and hasn't properly executed a strategy for the pedestrian plaza. This is what happens when you rush and don't do things properly. Bikes are allowed and the jerks needed to be punished. But hard to know the rules when nothing is posted properly.

Sure it is about money - improving the neighborhood improves your investment. That is just being smart. I am also not against developing open lots or the beautifying and updating existing lots. Hell the more you guys come the more my property value goes up. This is more than a problem of just parking. I don't want to live in a packed can. My argument is you can have more retail space and new buildings while mostly preserving the area as it is. So no I don't support new buildings with 50+ apartments that potentially diminish the essence of the area I love. I am preserving a way of life and I don't care if that is selfish because your desires are no more selfish than mine. You think you are improving the area with packing people in it, I don't. We will never agree there but I will argue until we end up at least somewhere in the middle. And yes this about money, why the hell else would they build there? Developers only intention is profit - but yeah this is a heart-filled action to beautify the area, get out of here.

I am sure a lot of those old timers with cars like change too. But sorry if we don't want to have the same environment and experience as some of you newcomers. Ironically, the sense of entitlement goes both ways on this one. You think you are "entitled" to the neighborhood you envision and many feel they are entitled to their "free" parking. I think both sides should lose a little and we settle on something sensible. Personally, I have stayed in Jersey City for 30+ years because I have liked it for that long. Seeing how the rest of the neighborhood has changed I don't need the tall buildings and the higher density of people. That change has reduced my quality of life and I really like the quiet little section I live in - but am close enough to everything that I can jump in and out as I please. You can't blame us for wanting to preserve that but I don't blame you for wanting to build up because it really is all about money to many of you.

I hope you enjoyed making downtown jc yours..
You can refuse to pay the increase and go to eviction court. If you lose you will need to pay the difference, court fees and sign a new lease to avoid eviction. You can try to negotiate a new lease with the company but they will basically tell you to go to hell since they know they can rent out a 1br in VV for 2000+. Good luck.

Get ready for Hoboken type behavior once Park Authority is completely merged with Department of Public Safety. 24 hour parking enforcement is on the way. Prepared to be ticket all day every day.

I have no problem speed bumps/humps (except when they make snow removal even more difficult) but the one in questions is too big. I went over this one at below 5mph and it scrapped the front and center of the bottom of my car. I guess most of the people not having trouble have SUVs.

I knew you were all back home when:
1. The bitching commenced 2. When the lush street parking disappeared - reminded of the good old days when every couple didn't need two cars. 3. When the people that complain about the loud music and noise commenced to have drunken conversations on my corner while Tiff, Muffy and Megan complained about Jersey City at 4:00am. Not sure if the old trash and ghetto kids were worse. 4. All the construction went back on schedule this morning as a constant reminder that even more of you are coming to bitch about this place.
