The Port Authority is doing some public meeting things about the PATH, including one at the Barrow Mansion next Tuesday. Good thing they didn't tell anyone and the registration deadline to attend is tomorrow! http://www.panynj.gov/path/pes.html

There's a reason the one down Grove has a mass of people waiting outside of it regularly.

"Whole Foods, the gourmet grocer legions of avid fans have been hoping would soon open a Jersey City branch, will occupy the bottom two floors of the new tower being constructed at the Grove Street PATH station."

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Fingers crossed that it is!

Notice that they haven't cancelled the Hoboken-33rd St. train.
If the problem is in Chelsea, there is no way that only the JSQ train should be affected. And there is no reason that a repair should take so long. What they have done is cut the frequency of trains by 50% by canceling the JSQ train. They would finish a lot faster if they stopped both lines. Or, they could cut the number of trains on each line by 50%, but that would inconvenience the riders from Hoboken. As usual, JC is getting screwed. And the travelers on NJ Transit trains terminating in Hoboken are getting preferential treatment. Like they do every day.

If this problem continues, PATH should compensate everyone that needs to pay extra MTA fare to get to midtown from WTC.

It doesn't matter if YOU are willing to spend more of your salary on rent. Developers/bankers/loaners use guidelines such as 40x (current going rate in most of NYC) because they know that is a PRUDENT risk for them to take on. Allowing people to commit to expenses that high relative to their earning power/capability is part of the reason why we found ourselves in the mortgage crisis. Some people just can't manage their own finances and do not understand money and are too often too willing to accept risks that are not prudent.

This is very true, just because you want to rent doesn't mean a developer will let you. Still, the guidelines are pretty flexible and I think they allow pretty high percentage of salary before they reject you.

Another thing to keep in mind is that 40% of your salary can leave very little wiggle room when you're making 30k, but a lot of discretionary money when you're making 100k.

No it can't. $100k is a really mediocre salary and no way that will be true unless there's a huge bonus involved.

It's mediocre based on what?

I'm sure this has been asked and answered before, but this thread has gotten quite long and I couldn't find any mention in a quick browse so.... what is going up on the SE corner of Erie and 4th?

I believe someone in a previous post mentioned this space was going to be a bakery.

NOTE!
Before you end or break a lease, you must understand a basic rule about
landlord-tenant law in New Jersey. Because of the Anti-Eviction Act, you cannot be
evicted simply because your lease ends. As explained in Chapter 9,
The Causes for
Eviction,
on page 56, a tenant can only be evicted if the landlord can prove one of the
good causes for eviction under the law. The ending or expiration of a lease is not a
good cause for eviction. This means that, however long your lease, you do not have
to move just because your lease has ended. It also means that, unless you or the land-
lord end your lease, all yearly leases and month-to-month leases automatically renew
themselves. The only exception to this rule is if you live in a building with only two
or three apartments and the landlord lives in one of the apartments.

http://www.lsnjlaw.org/Publications/P ... Manuals/TenantsRights.pdf

Don't believe for one minute that if the building is a 2 or 3 unit owner occupied building that things are easier. I have 2 units, I live in one. And even though I had more rights than say an owner with over 4 units, Jersey no matter how you slice it still does everything possible to protect the tenant. I had a tenant that decided he wasn't going to pay rent after Sandy. I went through all the steps of notifying him that his lease would not be renewed & that the premises were to be vacated, yada, yada, yada. Well this motherf-er went out & hired the biggest scumbag lawyer in the city because as he told me "I will leave when I want to & you cannot do anything about it. I had to get a lawyer. I got stiffed for 6 months rent & $3k in damages. The little bastard still sends bills that he doesn't want to pay to my address even though he moved out almost a year & a half ago (no forwarding address to me or post office). I managed to run down his mother's address & now she gets all the hospital bills for his "operations".

I made a bad choice to enter an intersection (Kennedy/Montgomery) on a yellow light this afternoon, and the light immediately turned red. I admit it...I deserve a ticket, so I'm not here to be like 'feel sorry for me.' (if you want to feel sorry for me, consider that I started my day with a flat tire on I-80 at 6 am, so the ticket is not actually the low point of today either financially or emotionally LOL).

I will not be surprised when a ticket shows up in the mail. I am here to try to understand the consequences associated with a red light camera. Is it zero points and $85? My understanding is that it still can impact my insurance, right?

Thanks for any insight! :)

Saw this the other day near the Grove PATH. Not much info online, other than their Facebook page looks like they just opened a month ago.

Has anyone tried it?
