I feel that Skadave and pinkie have eloquently summed up my thoughts about this situation. May both sites prosper respective to their own defined terms and may both take the high road and not let this animus become a rival to the NWA debacle.

Each of you are good folks, whether here at jclist or wiredjc.com and if some feel yet another site is warranted as an alternative to jclist they should grow as they wish.

I come here mainly for info, to post community info for various groups and to find out what's going on in Jersey City without the rants on nj.com, the lack of info on the well-intentioned jerseycityvibe, or the parochial POV of NWA.

Bright Moments to all of you!

First of all i consider Non a good person and friend and i wish his new site well.

I am glad that the webmaster has addressed this issue, it has been the 800 pound gorilla in the room lately.

I wrote on his site that i will post to both jclist and wiredjc but i would hope that the new site would not be a "look at what they are saying on jclist" bitchathon. So far it has not been and everyone there was in agreement (prior to my post actually).

With that said, i hope that the people on this site will not use jclist as a bash non and friends site either. I have friends at both sites and i take it personally when they are attacked. A little ribbing is ok, and a jab here and there is fine, but i think it is a disservice to jclist to assume that everyone here hates non (it is simply not the case), it makes this site look bad and in the long run it could cost jclist members.

Everyone needs to take the high road, shake hands like civil human beings, and be on their merry way (that's a nice string of cliches isn't it?).

You've summed up just about everything I?ve felt/feel regarding this situation. I want to also add that we have all pushed the limit with some of our shut box conversations. I really do appreciate the Webmasters patience when we all acted a bit too silly and a bit too naughty in the sb. I wish both sites the best of luck and continued success.

I love the irony - 20-30 years ago, the rich lived in low-rise houses, and the poor lived in ugly towers. Now, the 'rich' of jersey city live in ugly hi-rises, and the poor have houses with roofs and lawns and trees.

Turnabout is totally fair play.

Manhattan is a different issue because I think that the vast majority of Manhattan residents don't cook very often, therefore most Manhattan residents would have little need for a grocery store. I equate us more with Brooklyn than Manhattan.

My understanding is that it is illegal to call 911 and make a false report to an emergency or give a false address to an emergency.

Once the police arrived to the wrong address, they should called the 911 operator and requested that they track / trace the source of the complaint via the telephone.

By doing that, they could have spoken to the initial 911 caller for more information or charged them for making a false alarm call to 911.

Police must have a policy dealing with 'crank' calls to 911, this way if it was a mistake by the caller, a trace can be made to take the appropriate action - either calling them back or going to the point of origin. (address of the caller)

This is BASIC policing procedures, especially if the 2 officers just went back to 'general patrolling' and not to another emergency.

N.J. richest state with poorest city
Home News Tribune Online 08/30/06
On the whole, the state has high incomes, along with a high cost of living. Half the households make more than $61,672 per year ? putting the Garden State just ahead of Connecticut as the nation's richest. And the poverty rate of 8.7 percent is lower than every state except for New Hampshire, Maryland and Connecticut.

Well. Someone just put a sign in our apartment building that there was a push-in robbery last friday. All I know is that three thugs followed someone into the building and that nobody was hurt. As I get more details I will share.

Update: They were armed and forced themselves in after someone on the first floor entered the building. The person who was robbed filed a police report.

Also: make it crystal clear to the real estate folks that even the secular private schools in this area are bursting at the seams. If they don't figure out some way to create more respectable elementary school seats, that's going to contribute to the 2007-2008 real estate bust.

1) Bergen Lafayette is not really an "upscale neighborhood." In fact 10 years ago 80% of the people wouldn't have considered living anywhere near it. It's a little disingenuous to gentrify someone's neighborhood and then say "why don't you take some responsibility and move out."

2) I'm amazed at how people automatically assume that most of the people moving into these townhouses are going to be the lowlifes that hang out on the street drinking all day or muggers. Haven't you ever heard of struggling single mothers? Haven't you ever heard of the working poor? It's just really downright disgusting honestly. You're a bunch of smug, ignorant, self-important idiots. I'd like to see any of you survive one month in the ghetto.
