Greenville,
How clueless are you?
"Knowing how things are in the Heights"...
Do you mean nice and safe?
Do you mean great location to New York and Hoboken?
Do you mean more bang for your dollar per square foot than any other place in the city? Where you can purchase a house with a garage and yard and actually how room to move around?
Do you mean where you can buy a brownstone that would be over a million dollars in Brooklyn, Hoboken and downtown JC for half the price in a nice neighborhood?

Is this what you mean?

Don't be jealous as to what's going on up here. The Heights has always been one of the nicest and most underrated parts of the city and it's finally getting it's due.

If you had any sense at all, you should've bought up here.
You didn't, so stay in Greenville and be bitter.

Unbelievable,... get a clue, please.

The only real solution is to begin charging market rates for street parking permits. If street parking cost $100 to $200 a month, the empty garages would fill up and lots of people who keep cars around would find ways of eliminating them.

I think street parking should cost closer to garage price. Enough to make the difference less substantial and more people will then opt for garages. Maybe $500/yr ----but i see the sh*** hitting the fan if that was proposed.

We had a fire-related evac in my building (Gulls Cove) last summer. Turns out, I evacuated my family unnecessarily.

Fire chief came by a few weeks later and explained to us that for steel and concrete structures, each apt is a fire-proof box, as required by code.

So long as the fire isn't on your floor or the ones above or below you, you could in fact stay put and await further instructions. This way not everyone is stampeding to escape the building.

The low rise rental communities are among the worst as they're pretty much all wood.

If nothing else, perhaps gentrification will bring the ethnic composition of JCPD a little more in sync with the residential make-up of the city. Discuss.

It took a minute, but I got the humor in your post

Of course, the more JC gentrifies, the fewer police will actually be able to live here. Which goes to bill's point will it be wrong to enforce residency requirements, when the cops will only be able to afford to live in GV?

FOUR shooting events (that we know about) and it's only January 1st.

1. Virginia Ave - 3 people shot
2. Brahmall Ave - bullet enters family home while they watch TV
3. Atlantic Ave & Bergen Ave shots fired
3. St. Lucy's - 1 fatality

Greenville - the JJ is reporting that the three shooting victims from the Virginia Ave incident are all alive. Do you know differently?

A tragedy all around.

Small group rallies in Jersey City for justice in Ferguson, Mo. - Jersey Journal

A rally for justice, spurred on by the events in Ferguson, Mo., was overshadowed by the promise of free turkeys this afternoon on Martin Luther King Drive in Jersey City.

The North Jersey chapter of the National Action Network held a rally to protest the grand jury?s decision not to indict Police Officer Darren Wilson in the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown. Less than 10 people participated in the rally, but they made sure that the hundreds of people lined up for free Thanksgiving meals across the street heard their message.

?We?re standing for people who can?t stand for themselves,? said Kenyaetta Williams, 45, of Jersey City.

?I expected it,? Williams said of the grand jury?s decision. ?But I also expected more people out here today,? she said. ?All the turkeys are giving out turkeys,? she said.

?All the turkeys are giving out turkeys,?

Nice thing to say about people who are volunteering their time to help the needy, just happened to be police officers and who had NOTHING to do with the events in Ferguson. Would she rather that people don't eat on Thanksgiving?

I wonder if she had a protest for the senseless killing of that cop this past summer.

What an idiotic thing to say.

The rate is going up another 3.75%, why? The money does not belong to the city, it belongs to the people who overpaid. By the way, the 2,300 people in tax lien also owes water liens. This is wrong. You are trying to demonize people who people up, rescue but then that is the trait of a bully.

I expect we'll see more of these in quieter corners of DTJC as the neighborhood gets wealthier and more "target-rich."

People have been saying that for ten+ years and it hasn't yet come to fruition. Do you have information we don't, or is it just paranoid rambling?

vindication15 quick rush to the nearest one, lol!

Nope, just another GV or BL resident who is losing money on his property and looking to instill fear in potential DTJC residents in hope these people move to muderville

I live downtown in one of those pricey condo's by the waterfront. But thanks for your in depth thoughts.

This is a huge loss for the average NJ pedestrian. If you walk everywhere in the city, as most of us do, you note that the auto drivers can get away with just about any sort of bad intersection behavior. Without the cameras there will no doubt be a spike in poor driving behavior all over the state. I get that there were legitimate problems with the system but as a pedestrian I don't care. All I care about is my right to cross the street without having my life put in danger for the sake of some auto drivers convenience.
