This is exclusivity and lack of competition/ options needs to be looked and I will make sure it is.


Additionally, someone mentioned that the developer of LH is the owner of Gold Coast Broadband. That is 100% correct.

The only group that may have the opportunity to change its contract would be 10 regent and the other privately owned apartments... however, I wouldn't be surprised if they gave up that right in their management agreement with Grand Street Property Management (which is owned by the developer of LH)

It is perfectly legal.

It is also a contributing reason to why I moved out of Liberty Harbor a few years ago.

No, I did not remembered it wrong, I also bring up these things at budget hearings. I don't remember seeing you at budget hearings. Sometimes I am the only one to speak. Let me give you some background, before the 1988 reval, JC had a ratable base of $800 million after reval it was between $6 to 7 billion figure. I do not recall the exact figure. When Schundler was mayor, he was giving out a lot of abatements plus many people appealed during that time. The value of JC dropped to $5.1 billion. Those 1990s, 20 years tax abatements have largely expired so the ratable base is close to $6 billion. The higher the ratable base, the lower the rate rate. Fulop is benefiting from these expired tax abatements. When Healy was mayor, the ratable base was around $5.7 billion. Fulop's 30 year tax abatement will come back and haunt future mayors down the road.

C'mon - you are a smart guy. (Where are you from? ) Motivations can change - he was for it back then because it was something that could help neutralize the machine. Now it serves his purposes to support it for other reasons. One does not negate the other.

The whole argument about "long, crowded, confusing ballots" is kind of silly - most people file their own taxes and everyone used to navigate phone books just fine. I wouldn't put voting on a ballot that has more than a few races and multiple candidates in each on the same level. People will manage. They almost always do.


agree but I still stand by the assertion that the optics of running for governor and then for mayor if it doesnt work are not favorable.
whatever the motivation is, it doesnt bother me as it aligns with what i believe is best for the city (improving turnout). i'm not bothered by the fact that the grocer sells me "healthy" food for profit and not the fact that they care about my nutrition.

Most seniors that voted told me they wanted to vote for Lou Manzo, instead they voted for his brother, Allen Manzo who had the top ballot. They were confused. Lou Manzo got 6,000 votes, his brother who no one heard of got 4,000 votes, the winner was Bret Schundler who benefited from the confusion with 7,000 votes.


you dont think the confusion may have been caused by two candidates having the same surname?

No, sir. Petitions for November elections need to be filed 63 days before the election - which usually works out to the beginning of September or the very end of August. The gubernatorial primary is the first Tuesday of June. It 100% would be a fallback for Fulop and is the primary reason he is pushing for it.

My personal opinion:

Pros:
1. Might reduce voter fatigue

2. Might save money (though $400,000 I believe was quoted, which isn't all that much imho)

Cons (in no particular order):
1. Lets Fulop run for Mayor again with only 3 months to jump in the campaign if he loses nod for governor, using JC as a fall back plan and usurping other candidates who would have already invested much more time and money in their own campaigns. I'm not ok with any mayor using JC as a fall back plan!

2. Extends Council and Mayoral terms by 6 more months.

3. Creates a jammed ballot, potentially confusing voters and leaving them more apt to only partially complete their ballots.

4. Creates voter fatigue during the months leading up to the elections ("campaign fatigue") with an even greater onslaught of simultaneous campaigning - national, state, and municipal which includes Mayor, full council, free holders, county exec, school board and committee persons.

5. May draw more people to the polls, but doesn't guarantee more voter participation given the jammed/long ballot. There's no requirement to check every box on a ballot for any voter. I can see most people voting for President, US Senate & HR Reps, Governor, maybe state assembly, Mayor, and maybe county exec. Fatigue will set in and people will likely start to wane/fall off on checking any boxes for Council persons (4 people), Freeholder, Committee Persons, School Board(!), and the public questions.

6. Creates run-off elections in December, where cold/bad weather will reduce voter turnout.

7. Cannot be changed back to May for 10 years if it passes - we're stuck if we don't like it in practice.


I think it's a terrible idea and will be voting NO for all of the above reasons. The cons far out-weigh the Pros here.


You missed a huge positive... greater participation reduces machine politics. The reason why Cunningham supports keeping elections in May is because she is dependent on low-turnout to win.

Regarding positive 1, it is proven by numerous studies that it will reduce voter fatigue.

As for your concerns, they are nearly all hypothetical without any research to back them up.

With regard to concern 4, you really want to have it both ways dont you...

As for concern 3, it seems you think pretty poorly of your neighbors in terms of their intelligence...

I'm also convinced that moving the election DOES NOT provide a fallback plan for our Mayor. Fulop would have to submit his petitions for the mayoral race prior to the gubernatorial primary, if that happened Sweeney and Murphy would have a field day and it could wreck Fulop's chances for the primary (while his gubernatorial run would hurt his chances in the mayoral).

Truth is, voters hardly go to the polls during the may election (which is why we should move it to november), but even fewer show up to the run-offs.

If anything actually adds confusion to the election process it is run-offs. I wish we got rid of them completely.

October 13, 2015
Dear Editor,
I think democracy happened today in Judge Barisco?s court concerning the referendum on moving the Jersey City?s elections. The reason for the lawsuit was the fear of no runoffs in the municipal elections. Judge Barisco stated that does not change, runoffs will continue in our elections. I also thank the Judge from removing language that was not necessary for the voting process.
I went to the Freeholders to ask about the change of election from the Jersey City and was told they received nothing so I gave them the resolution which eventually lead to the mock-up ballot.
I urge the public to vote no. We do not need a crowded ballot. I remember 20 people running for mayor. If each mayoral candidate had a full slate, then that is 60 candidates plus perhaps a dozen ward candidates. No one can predict the future so let?s not overwhelmed the ballot.
The judge request a payment of $2,500 to fix the ballot, sometimes it is worth spending money to keep democracy safe. My grandmother went to jail as a suffrage to give women the right to vote so this is a small price to pay.
I also want to thank Bill Matsidoudis for representing this matter in court.

Yvonne Balcer




of course none of them had a full slate. and it will never happen, especially with such low turnout in municipal elections as it is hard enough to find 2 candidates for ward council positions to run.

i hope the city bonds to pay for any re-printing costs required.

are you serious? walk around the building and check out the 120 year old foundation... the staircases are pulling apart (which is probably why half the doors are closed) and there are visible cracks in the foundation. the building hasnt been touched in nearly 35 years since there were cosmetic renovations following the fire. the building is in pretty good shape considering its age and the lack of upkeep but is in poor condition on an absolute basis.

In 1988, after reval, you paid $3,000 to JC if assessed at $100,00, now you are paying $7,500. JC did not have the buildings in 1988 as it does now. Tax abatements was sold as a way to stabilize our taxes. The reversed has happened. These abatements were contracts, not added to the ratable base and our taxes rose.

if you look at two properties (same zoning/use-type, same part of town) that you estimate should have fairly similar tax bills (assuming there are no PILOTs/abatements) - 1 from the 1990s/2000s and 1 from 2013/2014 - what is the relative difference in the PILOT payments the two properties pay? Does the more recently developed/abated property have a better/worse deal than the older property?

the reason why the sign is branded is written on the sign... as Yvonne said, they pay the landscaping cost for the median so you dont have to via taxes.

if you want to get rid of them, im sure when renewal time comes around you could pay to sponsor the landscaping and tell the city you don't want a sign thanking you.

A friend of mine is looking for apartments and is considering Liberty Harbor. I'm wondering if you can provide some feedback? Sorry, I know a bit off topic.

Also, has anyone checked out the rentals at Charles & co? I heard that it's almost 50% rented?


Liberty Harbor review

experience. 3 years renting.

location. decent but you get what you pay for.

amenities. horrible - extremely overcrowded and poorly maintained pool, very outdated gym without freeweights aside from a couple dumbbells.

heating/cooling. extremely expensive as the buildings are made with extremely cheap insulation. average monthly cost in the winter was about $200-350/mo to keep my 650 sq ft apartment at around 65F.

Parking. $125/mo. Good luck parking on a weekend (despite the fact that you pay for a permit) as parking "opens" to beer garden customers on weekends.

Security. My parked car was hit/clipped by drunk drivers leaving zeppelin hall twice. on one occasion a JCMC security guard saw the accident happen, ran over to stop the driver from leaving the scene, she then proceeded to run over the security guard in order to flee the scene. thankfully he got the license plate number on his phone camera because liberty harbor has no security cameras aside from those in the lobbies.

Litter. Walking around vomit, and preventing your dog from going near it, is a roughly once a month hassle.

Noise. My unit wasn't bad as I wasnt in, or facing, 9 regent (beer garden building).

Rent renewal and security deposits. JCNB/Grand Street Property Management is notorious for raising rent in the double digits (10-20%) after 1-2 years regardless of market rates in the area. They will nickle and dime you for your security deposit ($10 per picture pin/nail holes in the drywall). $300 for light scratches in the polyeurethane coat on the flooring near the doorway. Every former neighbor that I know had 25%-100% of their deposit withheld. I've had two apartments with the management company (owned by the developer/owner of liberty harbor) and it was the same story in both cases. In one case (non-liberty harbor), they withheld $6470 of my $6500 deposit, claiming damage that they couldnt show proof of and stating issues were beyond normal wear and tear... I was in the apartment for over 6 years (well beyond the useful life of almost everything in the apartment).

Fixing stuff. They are prompt and responsive. They don't necessarily do a good, or legal, job though. I discovered mold in the bathroom closet a few weeks following a leak from pipes in the ceiling. The solution... paint over it.

Staff. the head cleaning lady is possibly the most obnoxious staff member I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with. some residents, those with kids, tend to like her though as she seems to love children. if you don't have kids, its another story. she is not liked by the rest of the staff as she is essentially the management's gestapo agent. The door people are generally nice and friendly, but there is extremely high turnover.

If/once Chico is indicted then I think it is completely reasonable to expect Fulop (and the rest of the council) to call for his resignation and to call any inaction hypocrisy. until there is an indictment, not demanding a resignation is reasonable... sadly.

Developers take the risks and receive the rewards. This should not involve taxpayers subsidizing them.

Developers build properties for their own benefit, not the benefit of a community. When development is isolated to one part of a city, only one part of the city benefits from development. The other part(s) get little to nothing and you have the tale of two cities continue to widen. Since government cannot force developers where to build it is limited to enticing them... Pilots reduce some varieties of risk so that the opportunity cost of developing in riskier markets is reduced, and the "love can be spread."


Markets are constantly changing, week to week, month to month, year to year, and certainly decade to decade. You cannot possibly believe that just because 1 developer (out of thousands) decided to build something 20 years ago that it means all, or even any, developers would be able to justify development in the same area today. Its just not rational to hold that belief.


There is nothing in the city charter saying regular taxpayers should subsidize development. In fact, when the law was originally passed, it targeted property no one wanted. These abatements went to downtown where developers were paying $5 and $10 million for the plot in the 1990s. Journal Square is prime property, the fact Kennedy Lofts got a 12 abatement when the market was soft shows 30 years are not necessary.




1) the success of kennedy lofts is yet to be seen, 2) buying land/property during a soft market (From the government) that will be ready during an upswing (2014) reduces risk (buy low), and 3) no 2 developments are the same. you don't even live in a world that is just black or white with no shades of gray, you view things through monochrome lenses and speak from a standpoint as if you know what you are talking about when you lack experience and education on the topics.

i know, i know... "abatements are bad, subsidization, taxes, yada yada yada"

why do we even try?
