i've always considered taking that late nights from NYC into the heights, as it runs 24hrs on central ave when the commuter vans stop running. alas i've never actually gotten around to taking it.

almost any "general city-wide problem" will necessarily be a sound bite issue.
some issues that are prevalent but get lost in the shuffle: - driveway permits / curb cutting (legalize it and tax it, or remove them from everyone in violation of the law) - flooding during heavy rains, especially downtown

No way that Christie signs off on this. For someone who already is causing waves within his own party, signing off on what can essentially be interpreted as "new taxes" (by way of the fare hike) will be political suicide for his national political ambitions.
Also, don't feel the need to respond to "heights". His moniker is a disgrace to the neighborhood, and his posts are little more than a string of bigoted non sequiturs. I'm not totally convinced he's not just a typical online forum troll.

Yeah, a couple of relatives in the Heights got ticketed recently in similar situations (too close to the corner, etc.), when those were not regularly enforced in the past.
New Haven is still my archnemesis though...got hit with a ticket + tow + ticket + (almost towed again) in a 2 day span this year. F* that.

Probably the latter. Jersey City is small enough that people usually know enough about most neighborhoods and can comment on many of them.

Re: $27 million in tax breaks to UBS Financial Services to save jobs in Jersey City and Weehawken

Jersey City really had no choice. UBS is already moving most of its operations out of Connecticut and back to New York after their favorable tax deal ended and the governor played hardball regarding a new deal, and this just took place about a month ago. JC would be crazy to allow UBS to leave at a time like this. Unfortunately, UBS had all the leverage in this case

Agreed. I've done this before too, but with a slightly different twist; one day I was driving southbound on Washington Blvd near Target, when I saw a family of ducks/geese (can't remember, but probably ducks) trying to cross the road. I slowed down and eventually stopped well short so that they could cross in front of me. Mr. impatient BMW behind me could not wait (and in his defense, likely did not see the animals crossing), so he tried to pull out from behind me to pass me, and would have surely squashed a few of the babies in his haste. Luckily I anticipated his action, moved my car over so he couldn't pass me, all the while he honked at me. Shortly after he saw the family crossing and stopped honking...probably felt like a D bag.

Here's some honest questions for all you Taqueria lovers: if the "business model" is so good in Jersey City (i.e. pretentious / cheeky humor, no guac because it's not authentic, etc.), why is there a completely different model in NYC?
Could it be that the Jersey City location was merely nothing more than a market research ploy in order to see what works and what doesn't work in the NYC market? It's certainly possible, especially given the owner's most recent comments about the "class" of the clientele in Jersey City. If this is indeed true (and this is nothing more than speculation at this point, but could wind up being true if Taqueria closes in the next ~3-6 months), would your viewpoint change at all? Or would it still be that great taco joint that "does so much for the neighborhood"? Could this help explain to the naysayers (who have no idea how anyone could say anything bad about Taqueria) why a thread with 400 posts exists on the topic?

Well there you have it folks. The LES spot has learned from the constant mistakes of the JC spot. Guac + good customer service = an ok joint. Now the question is - will Taqueria fix all that's wrong at the JC spot? Will they continue to be d-bags (except the baby obviously); after all, why should lower class customers deserve the same kind of treatment as the high class NYC customers? Only time will tell.

I was in JC for over 25 years, and on this forum on and off for a number of years. People get riled up over things they don't like (especially loud noises, loud bars, Healy, etc. etc.), and are quick to make long-winded threads about it. The fact that Taqueria elicits such strong negative responses from people should serve as a warning flag that hey, maybe there's some truth in what people have to say about this place.
