Re: 'What is this, Russia?' Jersey City property owners fight developer
#1
Quite a regular
Quite a regular


There was already two developments (including Mecca) in place to be built... you should read the article again. Also remember the 2008 crash and Hurricane Sandy, not exactly great development times.


"Jim Burke, an attorney for one of the property owners, said he is stunned by the city's push to bring on Weiss as a master developer. Burke's client has approval to build a 12-story building on property he owns at Colden and Bates streets.

"My client worked closely with the Jersey City Redevelopment Agency throughout the development process, so to be told this 18 months later is a bit shocking," Burke said."

Regard your comment on how the areas looks--Not everything has to be luxury residential buildings.

WARD E RACE: FULL OF "DARK" INFLUENTIAL "SUPER" HYPOCRITES

http://hudsoncountychronicles.com/war ... r-hypocrites-p485-166.htm

"According to the most recent ELEC, James Solomon has raised $188,000 for this Council election. Almost $50000 of it comes from his own pocket. And his donors are all outsiders, with almost little to no publicly disclosed contributions from Jersey City residents. Again, kudos to Solomon for having a wealthy network that he can draw from - but let?s not pretend that everyone has that ability. This is almost bullying money when your opponents are all vastly underfunded and don?t have equal access to donors like this."

"You can?t be for social justice and earning a living wage and then think these working men and women are in the pockets of developers. It just doesn?t work that way. I don?t buy the argument that a labor union PAC that wants higher wages, safer work environments, and more unionized labor is in the pocket of developers that actually benefit from the opposite."

Replying to ECJC:First off, maybe you should actually read tax abatements or redevelopment plans for the required community givebacks. Second, I want a council person that stands up for unions as well as its constituents. Third, "give back our neightborhood" our neighborhood exists because of your "big bad" developers and construction. The waterfront was polluted rail yards. Ward E was filled with vacant houses or rundown buildings. Even in the past seven years, there are more small business, resturants and bars. Solomon has only lived here for four years or less. He has serious white knight savior complex. WE DONT NEED HIM. I want someone who will sit at the table and represent me, not stand outside and hold a sign.

What Dark Money? They said its from labor unions. How is being supported by labor unions a bad thing?

"The group, which has a Rahway P.O. box, says its money comes entirely from the labor management fund of the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 825."

Solomon is the epitome of white privilege. During a planning board meeting discussing the Journal Square tower, he ranted about Kushner. However, he failed to notice all of the journal square locals in a heavy minority area are in favor of the project because among other things they are sick of this lot being vacant for 40 plus years. This was a pure example of "i know better than you. i'm going to be your "white knight" and dismissing the people who actually live there.

Dan, you don't even live in Ward E. You can't even vote for the special election. Also, I don't appreciate the fact Symes gets bashed on JClist.com, which I suspect would never happen if she was not woman. It's disgusting.

Symes was their general counsel not a governement affairs analyst. Also, why did James Solomon spend over $9,289.50 of his campaign money on the corporate NYC law firm of Stroock, Stroock, & Lavan (according to his ELEC filing)?

I checked the tax records. He paid $783,000 for his "small frame house.' That's a pretty nice lump for someone who is only an adjunct professor.

Interesting to see how this plays out. I find it hard to believe that Fulop was unaware of this. Remember... " In Jersey City, where Kushner Cos. has invested in five major projects in recent years, both Jared and his father have a close relationship with Mayor Steve Fulop. Fulop has received glowing coverage in the New York Observer, and as the Kushners were developing Trump Tower in Jersey City in 2014, they hired one of Fulop?s closest political strategists to work as an expediter on the project."

However, this applies to all of Downtown not just Bars. No police for you!

As the Councilwoman stated "East District has been often running at minimum staffing levels (which doesn't provide for consistent visible presence. With retirements and new officers coming out of academy, they go to South & West Districts."

I cannot wrap my head around 250 new officers with a total amount to 922 (the largest amount in two decades), but none for Downtown unless you pay a voluntary fee.

In conclusion: Downtown residents: You don't matter.

How can we request for an increase in East District Precinct and for the City to do its part of the Pedestrian Plaza ordinance to have Public Safety enforce? I find it very disturbing that a large highly used transportation hub does not have a police officer always there. Especially, with the risk of terrorism not to mention the contact occurrence of muggings now happening. Do we need to wait for a tragedy to have proper and consistent public safety?

Pedestrian Plaza Ordinance:
http://jerseycitynj.gov/uploadedFiles ... nance_First%20Reading.pdf

The ordiance holds the City of Jersey City responsible, not the business owners. Maybe Candice should read her own ordinance. This is Public Safety's reponsibility to enforce.

@Terrence McDonald, what is the Councilwoman's response to not enforcing her own ordinance and passing the buck to businesses?
