ROFL!!!!
What a mess. Informal parking spots that are not big enough and end up with cars blocking the sidewalk are a huge problem for pedestrians. I wish there was a revenue neutral tax on parking sports and heavy fines for illegal ones.

It's literally next to.one of the largest parking garages in the city!
I respect McLaughlin for not selling out. It also makes sense to sell the vacant lot since it would be cheaper just to offer validations at Journal Sauare garage than to keep the lot underutilized.So, TimmyTimBuckTwo, any details about what this new building would be?

Usually I believe neighbors should mind their own business for minor things that dont effect anyone, but paving over the lot and adding a curb cut is obnoxious. This should be an easy case for code enforcement.

I have no trouble being called a DB, but a further explanation is owed. Obviously this is a horrible act. It just upsets me that a majority of the population has more empathy for the birds but little to none for the homelessness crisis, folks being pushed out of their home to do rising costs, the lack of education and economic opportunities in certain sections of the city, The bird situation is a tradgety but so many more injustices happening every day and some never say a peep.

Re: Port Authority announces plan to increase PATH capacity, reduce delays

To all the dumb shits that complain about Jersey City's resurgence by saying they shouldnt allow new development because the PATH train is overcrowded. Look at the results...
As I always knew, the new developments has forced PATH train service to being improved with more trains, better frequency, and a 40% increase in capacity to accommodate the new comers. This would have never happened had Jersey City was still in decline. Now gotta find the idiota that encourage people to contact the PATH director on linkedin. Nope. It was the crisis created by the new development that forced the improvements. Not your DM.

That's a comically flawed "study" by a PhD student. It concludes that upzoning did not result in additional units being built and raised the cost of real estate. Quote: Freemark reaches two startling conclusions that should at least temper our enthusiasm about the potential of zoning reform to solve the housing crisis?conclusions that, interestingly enough, he has said he did not set out to find. First, he finds no effect from zoning changes on housing supply?that is, on the construction of newly permitted units over five years. (As he acknowledges, the process of adding supply is arduous and may take longer than five years to register.) Caveats and all, this is an important finding that is very much at odds with the conventional wisdom. The comments section is a fun read as it points out the many flaws in the PhD student's analysis.

With all due respect, another useless idea. I like my idea the best and it's the most probably to happen. What the public can do is show up at public meetings and support high-density intensification near the PATH stations like the Journal Squared towers. Adding thousands of new residents with high disposable incomes brings about a better passenger experience like Magnolia Plaza. Eventually enough rich people will ride PATH into Manhattan and will complain about things like weekend service via Hoboken and general overcrowding. The Port Authority would be wise to take notice and make the positive changes or the politicians will take notice of unhappy constituents and order the Port Authority to act.

Interesting point. It's like PATH administrators intentionally try hard to make weekend service as crappy as possible. Although many will disagree, I think the solution is to put a shitload of luxury condos and apartments on the PATH line, and eventually the overcrowding and crappy service will irritate enough voting rich people that the the Govenor will finally take notice and order the Port Authority to improve service. But we're not even close yet to that point. Maybe in 30 years... Right now PATH riders are too small of a constituency for the politicians to give a dame.

Just wait until the new school payroll tax falls short of estimates and has to be increased.
Runaway as fast as you can. I also wonder about induced demand. Does the hike in benefits encourage more people to go on "disability" than would otherwise not? (I know there are plenty of people suffering with a disability but I bet there a ways to game the system for people that simply don't want to work.) Quote:

Re: Fulop wants to charge NY’ers their own congestation pricing

A very simple solution (which I'm not advocating) is for the Port Authority to raise the bridge and tunnel tolls with the extra funds going into a lockbox to increase the capacity for transHudson transit crossings. There could even be a discount for Jersey City residents who take the Holland Tunnel similar to what MTA does for Staten Island Residents who drive (or free ferries?!?)
I'm not advocating for the above. Simply pointing out there are much easier solutions to what's being discussed. Congestion will only get worse in Jersey City and transit will naturally become a more viable alternative when commuting into Manahattan. I rather pay $2.75 to be in a packed PATH train at 8:30am for 15 minutes than spend $15 on tolls, $45 for parking, waste gas and an hour+ of my precious time trying to commute into Manhattan with a million other suckers.

Perhaps a discussion for another thread but I never understood why children were placed in a grade based on their age, rather than ability. It probably is all about money as prodigies would quickly skip grades and the school system wont be able to leech off their per capita funding every year.

Awww... Stevie means well but fucks it up. More taxes are not the answer.
He's basically advocating for higher tolls by the Port Aurthoity so it can be invested in PATH and other transHudson transit improvements. Also, I didn't read that NYC residents would be exempt from the congestion pricing scheme, but assuming that is the case, why is that unacceptable but a payroll tax on Jersey City businesses that employ out of towners, with the revenue being used to fund our bloated and shitty school board, is somehow okay? I'm a big transit/bike/pedestrian supporter but congestion pricing should be for exactly that -- reducing congestion-- not as a retaliatory tool to punish NY commuters into JC. The unintended consequences include businesses getting fed up with thr extra taxes and leaving, taking with them their precious income taxes they generate. Maybe if we make this city shitty enough, that will solve our congestion problems because everyone will have had enough bullshit and move away to Florida.

I'm amazed that the neighborhood associations will bitch and complain about a 4 floor building going up on a vacant lot because it includes one less parking space than zoning prescribes but barely a murmur in comparison when a historic building like this will be demolished.
