So it is unrealistic to expect a reasonable price- realizing that "reasonable" is a personal thing? I think that as options become more available in the downtown area consumers should speak up and provide feedback to local businesses- this place just opened so it's not too late to adjust. There are many places (e.g. Roman Nose) that offer great food for a fair price (again fair- depending on your budget). They have half of the equation correct which is a great starting point. This place's prices are WAY out of wack- like 99 cent stores but on the opposite extreme.

I agree. Bought the butternut squash ravioli last weekend. Yes it was good- but at $14/lb, my jaw nearly dropped. Will not be going back. I can get the same if not better quality in NYC or Hoboken for less (even if I figure in transit costs). It's no doubt quality food, but seriously?! I guess the thinking is whatever price the market will bear.

I agree. I'm concerned with infrastructure improvement. PATH hates Fulop/JC and vice-versa- whether that's the reason for realistic capacity improvements being several years off is a subject for debate (not on this thread). However, we are already at (over?) capacity and/or short on weekend service on trains to NYC. And that is WITHOUT lots of more tenants in JC. There is clearly an influx of new residents and businesses- with more coming with or without this PR campaign. Is it just me that wonders if the city can sustain this? Of course, by the time that concern is realized, Fulop will have moved on but I'm worried that this is where we are headed. Am I alone?

Perhaps an organic, artisanal birdseed store would do well there? Forget that- maybe "we" can persuade Trader Joe's or Whole Foods to go into the bodega business :)

This thread is FABULOUSLY funny sans the gay-bashing aspect. Would be even funnier if Dan had not caused so much cash to be spent using a non-methodical approach.
This thread was started AWHILE ago and attitiudes towards sexuality have evolved a bunch. That bing said- he is still around. Is he still creating "Historical Hysteria"? The stories of him (and also some woman name Claire?) are legendary!

An interesting angle for this story is that according to a report from the property manager, the complex recently completed their fire inspections and was/is up to code. What are the implications for the code? This is not reported in the JJ story.

Beacon not downtown. Okay will give you that. Sorry for messing that up. Regarding 77 Hudson- whatever you say. Successful is not what I have heard. Regardless, we can agree to disagree about that. However, I offered examples- one was incorrect and another you disagree with. Fair enough. Can you please answer my question now? Name another development that is so different from surroundings? Hamilton Square comes to mind, but it is not a good example as the Silverman?s extensively sought input from HPNA about its creation frorm St. Francis. The polar opposite of this situation.

Can you name one that is so different in so many ways from its surroundings? There is no precedent for this- that I'm aware of And for develpments that have failed- how about the Beacon that was supposed to be condo and went rental? Or how about 77 Hudson with an owner tower and rental tower? Yes failure is in the eye of the beholder, but having rents significantly below Developer's estimate would I think be considered failure, but impossible to know. Then not enough money for all the other stuff.

Are we certain of rental amounts? Yes the developer has an initial estimate- but let?s be honest, for $1600 you can get a lot more space than smaller than a studio if you are in JC. I believe $1600 was his estimate, but he said market rate, $1600 is just that- an estimate. Given some time (a year?), the price point could go much lower. The other thing that folks fail to focus on is that while if this experiment (cause that?s what it essentially is) succeeds- great. All are happy. If it fails, those living in the neighborhood are left with this. That doesn?t seem like a wise risk in an established neighborhood. Clearly the administration and council are for this- doesn?t make sense why they are not fighting. Part of what feels like blasphemy is that many feel betrayed by this versus what the administration said they stood for. The process reeks of ?the Healy way? of doing business. What gives?

Lawsuit is a viable option, but not convinced. It sounds like from lessons learned VVPA may/will lose. Of course laywers will say ?DEFINITELY sounds like you have a case. They and their firm get paid regardless if you win or lose. And if the City gets involved in litigation- not just from VVPA but also from the developer- guess who pays? That is correct- ultimately the taxpayers!

I agree completely. The council and new (new is debateable- it has been over 3 month now!) administration were elected in favor of changing the status quo. This is a perfect opportunity. If they really wanted to stop this, I'm sure something could be found. The fact that rationale for not doing so is not crystal clear worries me about motivations. Why are our elected officials hiding behind legalese???? Isn't this what we elected them to end????

...Bring on the development! With our location it's inevitable anyways. I see a disturbing trend. Develoment- no inherent issue with that. Development without community input/engagement- scary! Infrastructure needs to be addressed, especially downtown! The development process issues seems to be similar to those faced by VVPA and potential development at Bright and Varick Streets. The process started under Healy and involved providing misleading information to the city council.

I don't think it is unreasonable to at least at this point hear/know of a plan (I don't need all the details- just the admission that something needs to be done- that it's a priority) to address the sky-high taxes in this town as well as address the extreme disparity in taxes from place to place. I get the motivation to try and cancel the reval, but what is the plan for those of us that are paying crazy-high taxes compared to those a block away? Waiting a year is tantamount to saying just deal with paying several thousand dollars more than your neghbor (what we are talking) for the next year. That does NOT sit well with me. The mayor and council should at least have the cajones to express that this is the case.

HUGE Fulop supporter here. I don't live in Ward C so not able to vote for Rich, but rest assured I would if I could.
I'm very happy and relieved that Steve is the mayor-elect for JC. I am certain he made his slate as he felt he had to in order to win, and that is fantastic. However- I'm also "relieved" that there is a runoff in Ward C (and elsewhere obviously) between Rich and Nidia! Sure you've heard this before, but please know that there are many of us out there that are pulling for you.

Lenovo- reading through posts it seems IMO that you are rather judgemental! Very entertaining :)
Know this is going to start a huge "thing", but BL is many things but safe is not one of them. Yes by definitiion all generalizations are false, and IMO you have to be of the urban pioneer mindset to thrive there. It sounds like you and your cars (note plural) are not that (urban pioneers that is). Not a bad thing- just a statement of perceived fact. BL is great, but at least IMO not there "yet". Both PL and SH- beautiful yes. Isolated- yes too!
