"internetzed"? Clearly it's better for me to take subjective recommendations from bias parents who have kids in the school rather than a scientific and objective approach based on test scores. You should read the internet sometime you might learn a thing or two. My kid would be at Cornelia F. Bradford No. 16, which has a great score of 7. If he doesn't get in then we will pay for private school.

Ps 22 is rated a 2 out of 10 and performs better than only 8% of schools in NJ. You may be comfortable with it and everyone has their own threshold for acceptability but let's be clear, this is not a good school, if fact, it's a terrible one.

There is no way I am going to take the effort to raise signatures for some sort of ballot requirement. I think you are missing my point. Good luck developing the rest of the city, call me in 2095 when that's all done. Here's a tip, you might want to start with the open air drug markets and tearing down the boarded buildings.

For me it's not so much about the bus, although I believe that it is inherently not safe for a 3 year to be in a vehicle without a car seat or restraint system, it's about sending the kids downtown to the shit ass neighborhoods in the rest of the city. I would rather pay the 14-20K a year to put my kid in private daycare than send him to The Heights, Greenville, Journal Square, West Side or whatever other shit hole they want to send them.
Fulop knows this and that's why he doesn't give a flying f about putting free preschool downtown. Bottom line!

Case in point, do it downtown and you get caught. Only the dumbest criminals would commit crimes in areas were they are more likely to be held to account. While DT more have more wealth to steal from, they will also catch your ass. Have fun in Juve, ass-wipes! Hopefully they try you as adults. Too bad we don't have Singapore's punishment and they could just give you a few good lashings.
More cameras, more accountability.

Problem with that logic is that if you do commit a crime in those areas, the citizens are more likely to demand action on the part of the community and police than other areas of the city where crime is an everyday fact of life and the neighborhood and or cops can tend to be complacent or overwhelmed.

Agreed, that name is horrendous. Also, passed by the other day and they had 3 huge, bald badasses who looked like enforcers hanging out front. Don't know if they were bouncers or patrons but either way I will not be going there.

The construction on the 78 bridge combined with the closing of the Bayonne bridge leaves 440 to Communipaw bridge on route 1 as the first alternative to get across.

This is true but I think there is a point where you draw the line. Everyone has their own definition of what that line should be. For me this is over the line. It's not just about abusing and fighting dogs, it's the level that he took it to that make it abhorrent. Blaming it on being from a poor urban area just makes it worse.

The result of the Abbott court ruling in 1985 determined that the Jersey City School District qualified as a unconstitutionally substandard school district and as such was entitled to have state cover all costs for school building and renovation projects in these districts under the supervision of the New Jersey Schools Development Authority.
NOTE: It DID NOT say all areas EXCEPT DOWNTOWN If the city does not want to have equal treatment throughout then I would call for Downtown to make a motion to separate from the whole resulting in a new municipality that would not receive the Abbott distinction. Quote:

The more I learn about this the more repulsed I become. Unbelievable that this guy is allowed to play in the NFL. This reflects horribly poor judgment on the Jets and Johnson & Johnson. There are other QB's out there that they could have picked up. The people who say he did his time and I'm still gonna root for the Jets, I hope that you fully explore the depth of his atrocities and come to terms with cheering for a guy who put dogs in bathtubs and electrocuted them for fun and profit. I will be skipping the Jets games until he is released.
Not sure what people are referring to when they say it's just the culture. What culture in this country promotes canine savagery? He grew up in Newport News, VA. So it's culturally acceptable because he was poor, black and from VA? That's BS!

Here is the link to have the JCIA remove graffiti or paint your private property upon request. It's free they will clean it for you. I feel like nobody really knows about this.

Can't wait until they dissolve the Jersey City Putz Authority. 100% completely inept.
How many visitor parking permits can you buy at one time? Depends on how Grandma at the JCPA feels on that day, could be 3 could be 10. Don't try your luck at 15. Just be sure to have an exact amount in the form of a bank check or money order. Bank Check or Money order???!!!! Wake up!!! How about debit card, credit card, paypal or dare I say bit coin. Morons!

I also got a parking ticket for "Parking Without Valid Permit" today, the sticker is on the back left side of the car where it's been for 2 years without an issue. I think we have a new lazy/uninformed officer on our hands. So annoying because I'm just gonna pay it and they know it. $40 isn't worth my vacation day. Who's to say it's not going to happen again though. I'll have my eye out for the particular officer to ask him why he can't see my permit.

You should report them to the city if 8 hours have passed and the snow/ice has not been cleared. http://mygovhelp.com/JERSEYCITYNJ/_cs ... stSelect.aspx?sSessionID=
Then srcoll to the bottom and click on the unshoveled sidewalk option. The city will investigate and issue a violation. Quote:

I just took Verizons arm, put it behind it's back and shoved their head into a bucket of water for messing up my netflix and got $10 off my bill for a year. Just ask to speak with the elite customer service dept and be persistent and pissed. Mention Netflix, cogent and the CEO talking about making a deal but holding the Netflix customer hostage in the mean time. Mention your amazing fast internet speed tests except Netflix still sucks. Tell them you blame them and your leaving for Comcast unless you get compensated in some form or another. It worked for me! (After 3 hours and 4-5 calls) Netflix still doesn't work though so they will need to be cancelled as well. Verizon actually had the nerve to mention Redbox to me at one point. Bastards! I was bluffing the whole time though, Comcast is like a crazy ex-girlfriend you never want mentioned again. I absolutely can not stand the Comcast customer service and vowed to never again sign up with them. Verizon has been great but they need to feel pressure from customers to get this deal done, it's completely unacceptable that I get 30mbps download speed and can't stream Netflix on the lowest quality setting.

I appreciate your position and feel the same. The only thing is that all private options are not full by any means. There are plenty of private pre-k options, they just cost what a year of college education will cost you. The idea that someone would actually leave because they can't get free Abbott district pre-k is really a non-starter. Where are you going to go where you will get free pre-k? It would have to be another Abbott district. Not many and definitely not as desirable as DT. Downtown JC is in a unique position in that fact.
Clearly the people joking on this topic do not have kids, probably don't own their residence and make no money, but we can thank them for our status as an Abbott district. Thank you ass clowns! Quote:

There is a new app the the Resident Response Center has of the Apple app store that let's you report all sorts of things including unleashed dogs. Just take a photo and send a complaint to the city via the app. It's called "JC RRC Fix-It" I used it for a blown out street light earlier tonight.
